Passed My Practical...
- Thread starter Sinque
- Start date
0 minors, my examiner and instructor said it is the only one they have ever seen in 14 years of being in the business! Go me! The roads are now my limits haha 
Well done and congratsGot a car yet?
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 It's all I have been telling people: 'NO MINORS, NOT ONE! ZERO!'
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 Thanks for the kind words... and the warnings also
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!
God knows what my insurance is, my mum set everything up for me.
It is with Zurich Direct (I think) and is fully comp, that is as far as my knowledge goes - I just drive!Strangely enough I feel a lot more confident when driving on my own without my instructor or mum telling me / watching my every move. I haven't had a go on the big motorways or anything yet, or gone long distance, but around the towns here I feel safer on my own. Possibly because I haven't got my teachers double checking everything I do is safe all the time leaving me forced to do it.
The car is sound as a pound. Was driving around in it from about 12-9 last night and used under £10 of petrol, almost runs on air The only problem is that the mudflaps seem to be catching on the wheels. I thought I had a flat tyre but I think the mudflap must have caught on the wheel and was bent up the tyre rubbing on it - going to have to try sort it out. Also I went in the car wash with a wax and ended up totally blind as all the windows had smudged
But yeah, I don't fancy driving like a tail end. For one I can't afford crashing, repairing my car, or replacing my or someone elses life
Already sorted lifts to and from college, £1 a pop, 4 in the car each should be a tidy sum over a week
