Was it your 45th attempt? :D

Nice effort. Have fun and be safe however condescending that may be ;)
 
I don't know about you, but once you get on the real roads by yourself, i realised how different it was, and how crap i was :p

Didn't take long to sharpen up though ;)
 
In a year from now, you'll look back and realise how bad you really were at the start. Not trying to put you off, just don't get overly confident. Passing a driving test does not make you a good driver at all. Just stay cool, and keep on learning.
 
Congrats. I remember when I passed my test I realised I was really bad at judging how much space I had when merging onto roads or overtaking - how fast the car behind was coming up.

There's probably something that you need to be especially careful of, but well done all the same.
 
Sometimes I look back at my learning/test days and think just LOL.

Just LOL. The good ol' days when I was in college, the days when I sat in eating chicken fingers and watching horror movies.

I want my days back!!!

Sure do, it's a dark green 1.1i Cit' Saxo :) Cost me a small sum of £1300 with only 46 on the clock, clean as a whistle she is. Insurance only cost me £650 too. One of my friends paid £2900 for her insurance but she is a women; so she is obviously much more dangerous :p

Nice. A guy at works' son got 0 minors and he carried his papers around for weeks like some sort of trophy.

It's all I have been telling people: 'NO MINORS, NOT ONE! ZERO!' :p I have to get my instructor a copy of the report so he can laminate; I am his first student to pass with 0 minors :p

Thanks for the kind words... and the warnings also :p
 
Are you fronting in order to get £650? That's what I pay on a Classic policy at 17, and none of my friends are even remotely close to it on normal cars!

Big grats on 0 minors though, I thought I was fairly good with 3! :p

God knows what my insurance is, my mum set everything up for me. :p It is with Zurich Direct (I think) and is fully comp, that is as far as my knowledge goes - I just drive!
