Driving Test on monday

triggerthat · 14 Jan 2006 at 17:47

Hi guys,

Have my driving test on monday, and am quite bricking it. Any final recommendations? My instructor said he feels quite confident, however my last lesson before my test sucked.

You sucked because you were bricking it lol.. To be honest.. nervs are your biggest fight on your test i think.. as the test in its self really isnt all that hard.. but with the nervs you forget things or make stupid mistakes... just try and keep cool mate

do things to keep it off of your mind until the day.. and ifyou suck on the lesson before.. dont worry once again nervs..

i know its all well and good saying "try and keep cool" but you really need to..

Good luck my friend.

I think a good self loving sesson and a red bull will do it.

my lesson before my driving test was awful, did nothing right, but on the day i just kept myself cool and relaxed, passed 1st time with only 4 minors.

Today was my second to last lesson before my test, I am having a sly one just before it on Tuesday, I was pretty bad today through nerves but I think I should be ok, my instructor claims she has an 80% pass rate and I am one of her better students, hopefully my faith in her is sound.

They tell everyone they are their "better students" to make them more confident...

I cry inside.

Good luck mate, my test is a few months off yet

I passed a couple of weeks ago (third time lucky, 3 minors), i found it best to not tell anyone i was taking it as there is no pressure there... It helped loads and i passed fine... Just try not to think about it (its v.hard

) and try to convince yourself you have the ability to pass... Do all this and you'll pass easy... Good luck mate!

The worst you can do is fail so just get in the car and drive, take your time, listen carefully to the examioner and you will be grand. Nerves will just make you forget things so try to relax as much as possible and just go for it.

Good luck!

Good luck mate, don't worry about nerves - you're taking your test because you are ready for it, and probably because you're a good driver.

Mine's on Tuesday, and I can't wait! I'm so confident, I don't feel like a learner anymore. And I'm serious on that.

Watch as many Rocky films as you can, helped me i passed 1st time with 4 minors......

just stay as calm as possible, concentrate on the road, and keep checking those mirrors!

Matt-Page · 15 Jan 2006 at 10:22

Yea my test before my exam wasn't my best.

Just relax, stay calm. I was lucky to pass first time with 3 minors, please remember to reguarly check your mirrors. Over do it by all means.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks

Will definitely try to remain calm and think of it as a normal lesson. Will let you know how I got on.

William · 15 Jan 2006 at 16:31

Good Luck dude and make sure you have all your paperwork.

Mackass · 15 Jan 2006 at 16:46

And don't be put off by other drivers when doing your maneuvors and stuff, just imagine that they aren't there.

Try not to worry about it. I was really worried about all mine too, but at the end of the day, you just have to remember: In the long run, it really doesn't matter if you fail, you just take it again.

Good luck, and try not to worry too much
