Aww congratulations! Your Dad was with you every step of the way!I was watching the last thread but never commented. Today would’ve been my dad’s birthday and today I took my driving test and I BLOODY PASSED!!!!!!! 2 years of learning, my dad passing, a pandemic, 5 cancelled tests and 2 rescheduled tests and 2 (for really stupid reasons) failed tests later!!!!! 3rd time lucky! I am sooooooooo happy, my theory was due to run out a week today too i honestly started sobbing when the examiner told me, think i gave him a fright but it was just pure relief and i think a good omen from my dad 🤍

i’ve just passed on my 3rd try, i’ve not really been nervous for any of them as i knew i could drive otherwise I wouldn’t be doing the test. the best advice I can give you is just think of it as another driving lesson but with a different instructor, this really helped me, breath - you can drive, that’s why you’re doing the test. my brother in law gave me a great piece of advice - talk through what you’re doing whether that’s out loud or in your head and show your intentions for what you’re doing, i used that sometimes like “mirror, signal, move” or “ok i’m going to check my mirror now cos i’m breaking/changing my speed”, maybe try incorporating that into what you’re doing.I failed guys I’m soo sad I was so nervous!

Aw try not to be hard on yourself! You can drive otherwise you wouldn’t have made it to the test, it’s just sheer luck on the day. Get another booked and try again! XI failed guys I’m soo sad I was so nervous!

Oh man it sounds so easy to fail! I don't know how anyone passes! But I'm sure you will nail it next time, everyone manages it in the endthank you everyone for your encouraging words! Really appreciate it
I was so nervous on the day and made such a stupid mistake by staying In the middle of a two way road for too long while turning right at a junction! I was litterally in the middle for about 4 seconds and she failed me!
I’m just annoyed because my theory expires next week, luckily I’ve found a date for next month which I have booked I know I will pass that easily. So when I pass that I will look for a new instructor and start practicing again x
hey! I don’t know if you know about this but helpful thing for tests. I used a service called SpeedyTests to get myself cancellations, so basically you pay a one off fee and you can use it as many times as you want until you pass. So I first paid for it back in January 2019 and I used it up until I passed recently, depending on the fee (i think paid £16) you pay you can have them automatically send you any cancellations at either 1 or 2 test centres by text message and you get about 15 mins to reply to the text to book. You might be able to get earlier than March if that’s what you wantI felt the same when I failed mine last week.. What did you fail on? Mine was road markings.
Keep going and get another one booked.
Earliest one I could get was March.
Thank you for letting me know, I will give this one a try. I paid £10 for Testi but they never send notifications.hey! I don’t know if you know about this but helpful thing for tests.
