I’m thinking of renting a car to escape the city. I have my driver’s license and I used to drive all the time. Haven’t been behind the wheel since 2015
Refresher lessons are a great idea. I used to do a lot of long haul trips. School and friends used to be a forty minute drive including highway. Going home from uni was a four hour travel. The highways were remote for the most part. I want to go to different areas now. I think I need to learn a new skill haha.It’s amazing how quick it’ll come back to you.
I passed my test in 2007 and didn’t get a car and drive again until 2013 and I had two refresher lessons and it all just came back to me.
On pass plus you can . You can't drive on a motorway with a provisionaldoesn't driving instructors do motorway lessons ? that might make you feel more confident.
You can drive on the motorway with a provisional during driving lessons, my instructor did a couple of motorway lessons with meOn pass plus you can . You can't drive on a motorway with a provisional
Yeah you can drive on a motorway with a provisional but you have to be in a dual control car so usually you would only do it on a lesson with an instructorOn pass plus you can . You can't drive on a motorway with a provisional

It's been permitted since 2018, I didn't realise it has changed. I'm giving out of date information. I passed my test in the early 2000s and I wasn't able drive on the motorway till I passed.You can drive on the motorway with a provisional during driving lessons, my instructor did a couple of motorway lessons with me
Change Instructor - Do it NOW! He is at fault, not you.I’ve just came off the worst driving lesson I’ve ever had, cried my eyes out (proper ugly crying, couldn’t speak) .. he was alright the first 3/4 lessons actually was quite calm & reasonable/understanding but the last 2 I’ve had (last one was mid December before he broke up for xmas, and had one today) he’s literally speaking to me like crap, sighing & making little remarks despite the fact I did mention I am VERY nervous & have extreme anxiety. I took 40mg propranolol for anxiety before my lesson to calm me & I actually felt good, despite not being on the road for about 4/5 weeks I genuinely thought I was doing well.
but apparently I’m crap & I’m doing absolutely everything wrong in my power, just one of 70 things he picked at me about was that I didn’t pull out infront of a massive lorry when I could of.. imagine if I’d stalled though? Like I get what he’s saying I could of but I didn’t want to - i felt safer to wait then go once the lorry had.
Long story short I feel so sh*t now, embarrassed & everything cos I hate crying infront of anyone (even my mum.) but today, I couldn’t help but to.I’m shy at the best of times & I don’t like to kind of ‘hit back’ at him or say something so I’m just like ‘okay’ ‘sorry’.. am I being stupid here?
I’m also over paying him, he states his lessons are £27 I give him £30 (20 note & 10 note) & he never gives me the change back. I duno if I’m being petty here. Sorry for jumping on here randomly but I have no pals, I’ve cried to my mum as I walked in with mascara all over my face & a bubbling mess. Just really needed to vent x
