I went for my driving test at 11.20 today and passed with 9 minors :) . I'm soooo relieved right now its unbelievable, i really thought i had failed on a large roundabout near the beginning of the test. He said it was a nice drive apart from that and he could see it was just nerves so he let it slide :) . The last instructor i had was very strict and didn't take nerves into consideration so i think she would have failed me on that. My instructors car managed to stay in one piece for this test as well lol.

I also only just got there in time as my instructor thought my test was at 11.40 :eek: , so we had to just drive straight there without any warm up maneuvers.

Ive decided to take my Pass Plus so i should be driving in 2-3 weeks time. I went for 2 x 3 hour lessons spread over 2 weekends.

Now i think ill start looking for my first car :) .

A worryingly n00b-ish mistake from an instructor, but congrats anyways!

Why was it n00b-ish?, he could see i was a safe driver and clicking my left indicator when it canceled itself was just down to nerves. I told him afterwords that i have been on the same roundabout many times before and done it perfectly. He just said he wasn't 100% happy with it but it wasn't enough to fail me on.

I suppose 9 minors is quite high?, i got 2 minors on my mock test yesterday but i wasn't nervous then.

Think he was refering to the n00bish mistake of your instructor for getting your time wrong :)

No, 15 is high, other than that it's a pass.

I had 11 minors, OMGZZZ!!!111THIRTYFIVE I must be a child killer!!!!1111oneone



I did PassPlus as it reduced my insurance dramatically. I phoned the AA and asked about it and they said I could do two days of 3 hours, or 1 of 6, I chose the 1 day as it meant I could get it done quickly, and see how I liked long drives. It's a very good and informative course, but if it's going to cost loads (mine was £120 - £20 ph), then it probably isn't worth it.
If some of the situations do not occur whilst driving (doubful you'll get every single weather condition in one day), then they'll just go through the theory, asking you questions, aswell as telling you lots of information. - I seem to remember my bloke even bought me a cup of coffee when we stopped for the theory at a services.

I did 40 in a 30 on mine, speed zone changed, didnt realise for ages, thankfully only got a minor for it. So many roads that are 30 zones should be 40's round here though, it's ridiculous.

Congrats to the OP :)
 
well done mate,

its been a while since I passed mine, did my test in 15-20mins (I feel the need, the need for speed) only got 4 minors. Had a major crash 2 weeks after when they closed down both ways of a A road... had to go to court for insurance blame reasons and everything.

What car you thinking of getting?
