Just got my provisional + L plates + added to my parents car insurance.
very supprised becuse it didnt cost my parents anything to add me on there insurance :D

Was out today and yesterday driving about
only stalled the car once.. lol * due to being in the wrong gear when stoping at a round about

What tips can you give me i find at the minute my hands are getting very sticky and causing me to turn poorly due to my hands sticking to the wheel though i think its just nerves...

also i find myself looking in my rear view mirror a lot as i get kind of anxious when i car is only 1 meter from my rear bumper.

basicly all im doing is getting the basics down ect before i start to take lessons costing me less money to pass.

been practicing the theory test dvla official cd and hazard perception tests from the 15 mock tests i have done im failing about 10% of the time by only 2 questions
also the hazard perception test seems very hard to do, i know where the hazards are ect but when i press the button its not registering on the score do you have to press the button as soon as you see it or when your half way there or right on top of the hazard.

anyhoo its very exciting time as driving can be a great pleasure and gets you out and about. im enjoying the thrills lol :D
 
Thanks for the tips / help peeps.

any tips on the hazard perception ? like when do you press the button as soon as you see the hazard or just as your about to get to it or instantly as your on top of it ?

dam thing most of the time is not registering my button presses.
 
thanks guys for the help ;) its much appreciated.
went out again today and was driving out of a busy street, and 2 guys where slowly walking across the road even though there was no crossing i had to slow down as they seemed to be in no hurry to get across the road, had to apply the break for them lol but its funny know i know why other road drivers get ****ed off at pedestrians.. they are not always right especially when they think they own the road.

My main focus at the minute that i think needs better work is turning corners without taking your hands completely off the wheel....... but im getting there :D
