Passed Driving Test!

YEEEEEESSSSS!

I passed my driving test today at long last, Honestly, I thought I was never going to pass because I was a bag of nerves. This was my 3rd test and this time only picked up 6 minors.

I was sweating like pig all the way through, even though its not a warm day and at the end of the test I was shaking like a leaf and had avery bad headache. The relief when the examiner told me I'd passed was unbelievable, I had to ask him to repeat what he said, cos I thought I was hearing things!

I took the test in my own car because I ditched my instructor a while ago.

Well happy!

I scraped the kerb on reverse turn, stalled on bay park and the other 4 were just general control and positioning.

Thanks all. It's definitely a great feeling, so much so infact, I'm going to get very drunk tonite to celebrate. Recover tomorrow and go for a long cruise on monday. Sorted!

gam3r · 27 May 2006 at 16:53

Lol, Enjoy it mate! Tell us how many miles you have completed after monday..

R0B75 · 27 May 2006 at 16:56

Since I've owned the car , I've done 400 miles in it on top of 15 hours of instructor tuition. I reckon I could nearly double that by Monday evening

Hope the weather is nice...

How long before passing did you get your car?

I'm only asking because i'm in the same situation.

R0B75 · 27 May 2006 at 18:09

I got the car at the end of February. Being able to drive in your own car on top of tuition helps a lot and obviously helps you pass a lot more quickly. I should have passed my first test back in April, I actually drove better on that test, I thought.

lol that's what the missus said on the drive home from the test centre.

Well done!

But just one question, you said you got a minor for scraping the kerb, I'm pretty sure I read another thread here where someone was failed because they hit/scraped the kerb ("it could've been a pedestrian") - is what you did the same thing? I mean are examiners inconsistent? :confused:

R0B75 · 28 May 2006 at 10:37

Hitting a kerb isn't an automatic fail, only a minor fault. Going up a kerb is a different matter.

Congrats mate! Its a great feeling passing your test, its the start of something big
