Just passed my theory test about an hour ago. Passed by the skin of my teeth at 44 out of 50.
Going on holiday next week then I'll come back and sort some lessons out.

theory is definitely the hard part. The hazard perception videos look like they're filmed on potatos from the crop of 1992.

Well done! Still remember the feeling of getting the pink licence - get the lessons sorted and start driving!

Best. Thing. Ever

until you start spending silly money on cars, insurance, maintenance, tax, fuel, upgrades etc

They are CGI now and look realistic. Actually quite impressed me when I did it last year.

Sounds a lot better haha, with the old ones you sort of had to guess when the hazards were going to happen, because you couldn't make out objects in the distance very well in the shoddy videos.

CGI now!

the driving is the pain and imo it's not the actual driving, it's the instructors.. my gf is on her 4th!!

first was always taking the pee, late, dropping her off in the middle of nowhere - 2-3 miles from home, getting her to pick other learners up.

2nd was the one that taught me, very harsh and hard to learn with but I was okay, her being a girl and him being a sexist(didn't know) she just couldn't deal with her.

3rd was a total dick, shouting, telling her that she's dumb and basically not being a good teacher.

4th is her favorite now and seems to be great at everything, like a proper teacher who gets the fact that she's a learner and not a pro driver.

It made me feel extremely motion sick which makes up for the quality

My driving instructor was excellent, would recommend him to anybody in North Wales.
