I am driving on the test routes to be fair. It just feels very samey! I’m always picking up new things though and my anticipation / hazard awareness is improving so much.Use your lessons to do mock tests. There’s no point just driving around aimlessly, tell your instructor you want to do mock tests and just drill all the manouvers/test routes/independant drives etc - they should be using the time YOU are paying them for properly.
I use the Testi app but they don’t always send notifications even though I paid for premium. 9 out of 10 times I check the app and there’s tests on there… no notifications!So my next test date was December, been trying like mad to get a cancellation but they get snapped up in seconds! Everytime I get a notification on the app it's already gone even though I click straight away. Then this morning they've been releasing loads!!!! My app is going mad, got a new date for October, then 5 mins later an August date came up so changed it again! I have 6 weeks to prepare now, thank God I've got one so much sooner!
Mine has been like that! I’ve looked, seen dates which disappear as soon as I click on them but never got a notification. Then other times I get loads of notificationsI use the Testi app but they don’t always send notifications even though I paid for premium. 9 out of 10 times I check the app and there’s tests on there… no notifications!
Sometimes I’ll open it and there will be a full week of dates but no text. I always just randomly check it myself now.Mine has been like that! I’ve looked, seen dates which disappear as soon as I click on them but never got a notification. Then other times I get loads of notifications
Have you had any notifications at all from it?Sometimes I’ll open it and there will be a full week of dates but no text. I always just randomly check it myself now.
Yeah but not often. I opened the app this morning and there was a few days of tests on there and no notifications. My brother uses it and said the same yesterday.Have you had any notifications at all from it?
I think you are really over thinking everything and getting yourself in a pickle!Ugh, not looking forward to my driving lesson tomorrow. It might be my mental health playing up but I feel like my instructor doesn't believe in me. He's asked me to bring a list of questions/topics I'm unsure of to tomorrow's lesson. The only thing I can think of is the show me tell me stuff as he's never covered that with me.
I've got to cancel my lesson next week as my healthcare at home nurse is coming and they never give you a specific time that they're coming. So I'm dreading having to tell him even though it's my actual health which is more important than driving.
Part of me thinks maybe I should look for an intensive course and just do that eg a 10 hour course and test afterwards.
He's told me that he doesn't have any other availability for me - so I can't rescheduleI think you are really over thinking everything and getting yourself in a pickle!
your instructor probably asked you to bring a list because he wants to spend your lessons focusing on things you maybe don’t feel as confident at - is there nothing else you want to brush up on/work on? are you banging out all your manoeuvres perfectly every time? Are you completely confident doing the independent drives? Are you at ease with things like roundabouts/going through the gears etc? i don’t think he’s trying to trip you up - I think he’s probably just wanting to narrow down the areas you feel you want extra help with in the run up to your Test.
that being said - please, just try a lesson with a different instructor- just to see how you get on with someone different?
can you not just drop him a text or something regarding next weeks lesson? And ask for it to be rescheduled rather than cancelling it?
Yep! Been worried about this since my test was postponedIs anyone else worried the restrictions will come back and cancel our tests?
ok so why don’t you contact a few other instructors and get a lesson booked in with someone else?He's told me that he doesn't have any other availability for me - so I can't rescheduleI prefer independent driving to my lessons tbh
Yep! Been worried about this since my test was postponed
I think you would be so much happier if you did. Totally understand the struggle. I’ve already written about e instructor who was make me miserable but I did nothing to change thesituation.ok so why don’t you contact a few other instructors and get a lesson booked in with someone else?
What is this regulation, if you don’t mind?With this whole sanitary pass regulation, I'm seriously hoping the Irish government won't also extend it to driving lessons/tests although I have a feeling they will (if we don't wind up in another lockdown in September, that is).
I'm referring to the whole "indoor dining legislation" which caused a lot of havoc last week. Apologies, I spoke about it as if it has already been enacted.What is this regulation, if you don’t mind?
YepIs anyone else worried the restrictions will come back and cancel our tests?
Im desperately hoping to find a cancellation for this summer but since the cases have started to rise I’ve noticed less short notice cancellations popping upYepI’ll be fuming! As will everyone else lol
Hope it goes well!First lesson since December this afternoonexplained to my instructor that I need a couple of hours of back to basics to start with just to get my confidence back up so hopefully not too much to worry about
