We’re all human, but try not to lose your head. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre. You’re a safe and competent driver and your examiner wants you to be that too, no one is trying to catch you out. Deep breaths.So tomorrow is judgement day for meany last minute tips?

Your instructor is taking the piss out of you. 19 hours of lessons and you haven’t done a single manoeuvre? Come on.Hi I’m looking for some advice on my situation. I’ve had 19 lessons now in manual car, and I’m beginning to fear my instructor is taking me for a ride. I’ve only done crossroads, major crossroads, mini roundabouts, some dual carriageway. That’s it.
My family were shocked when they found out I’m 19 lessons in and I haven’t done a single manoeuvre or even a proper roundabout. I don’t know if I’m just really bad, or the instructor is milking me for money. I am quite anxious and my reactions aren’t the fastest. But the more I read about driving lesson amounts (mumsnet, studentroom) the more I think why am I progressing so slowly. There’s a mumsnet thread where someone posted similar to me, and the people responding were raging on the posters behalf, saying they were being scammed.
Honestly don’t know what to think. Instructor is talking about me doing my test in late May (started beginning of September). 2 hours lessons weekly until May seems a crazy amount. It’s like another 40 hours on top of the 20 I’ve already done. What do you think? Should also add that the instructor has good reviews, and people saying they passed in 20-30 hours with them.
Just find a new one and real the reviews firstAh thanks. You’ve confirmed my worries. I thought, even if I am really shit, shouldn’t I have at least tried some by now. Guess I’ll have to change instructor. I really didn’t want to.
I have the worst luck. This is my 3rd instructor. The other 2 were back in 2017. The first was a pervert, and the second one used to shout at me all the time. Honestly makes me wanna quit.
Even when I change instructor it’s gonna take me about another 40 lessons cuz I’ve learned practically fuck all in the 20 I’ve done already.
How could it put you back? You’ve hardly learnt anything!!!! Don’t worry, just get a lesson booked in with someone new. When you go to see them the first time please explain that you’ve already been taken advantage of and wasted a lot of money and that you expect to start leaning manoeuvres straight away. (For what it’s worth, I was started on manoeuvres during my first ever lesson and we would do manoeuvres every single lesson)I’m ringing around instructors rn. Scared moving to a new car/instructor is gonna put me back a lot
Don’t be scared! I had done maybe around 19-20 hours with my first instructor and thinking I should be doing more than what I was doing but was unsure and actually at the time okay with not stressing myself out because my dad had recently passed away, I had to find a new one cos she moved back to Belfast, when I started with my new instructor - I explained and even he was like I get people passed between 20-40 hours normally and agreed that I should have been a bit further.I’m ringing around instructors rn.

Like put me back with my nerves. I don’t know if I’m really bad at driving or not. I still make lots of mistakes. I sometimes forget to change back into first/second when turning for example. Or hesitate at a mini roundabout when I should have gone. Maybe the instructor is going slowly because I’m crap. Just don’t know.How could it put you back? You’ve hardly learnt anything!!!!

I would speak with your current instructor and ask why he hasn’t had you doing manoeuvres etc first, if he has genuine concerns about your driving then maybe that is the reason? I agree it’s a long time to not have done these things, but I would definitely speak with him first, maybe try and make up a plan of what you will be working on in your next few lessons? I dread to think how many hours I done until myself and my instructor felt I was test ready (I was very anxious and made these silly mistakes that you have mentioned too), but to be honest I was happy taking it slower, so that I could iron these mistakes out. They may seem small to you and I, but until you remember to do these things you aren’t a competent or confident driver. I hope you get it sorted out though and good luck in whatever you decide to doLike put me back with my nerves. I don’t know if I’m really bad at driving or not. I still make lots of mistakes.
