Wahoo!

Just passed my test, 4 minors

( one was stopping at zebra crossing when people were next to it but not crossing... i didn't want to go through it and fail though!)

Should be getting a car tomorrow, and then trying to find some insurance that comes out under 2k

I actually cannot wait to drive around on my own. And I am also all set for getting to Glastonbury now, wahoo!

Anyway, I just thought I'd share!

nice one

TaKeN · 20 May 2009 at 15:56

Congrats, take it steady

GingerNinja1989 · 20 May 2009 at 15:57

Nice one... one of the best feelings in the world!

Well done

Your first drive out on your own feels weird, but good

Cr0fty · 20 May 2009 at 16:02

It's kind of frustrating knowing I am now able to drive, and having to wait until after a 3hr exam tomorrow to actually go anywhere

peterattheboro · 20 May 2009 at 16:06

Congrats.

RoysonBobson · 20 May 2009 at 16:09

well done, but keep your sensible head on. And see how long it takes you to stop driving like you did on your test

Topper · 20 May 2009 at 16:14

Well done and yeah, like they said, take it easy. Always be safe but have fun.

Everytime a thread pops up like this, the same responses appear

Take it easy, stay alert, you think that was learning to drive, just wait until you're in by yourself, then you'll be learning how to drive

My instructor had a good line, you aren't classed as an experienced driver until you've done 100K.

Congrats

Can't wait till' i can drive

Just got off the phone from Swinton, Rover 214 = £4500 a year TPFT .

The hunt continues

Will do on one of those, they're over 100bhp

Try a 211 instead

Edit: Quinn Direct gave me the best quotes

can your parents take out insurance on a car and put you as a named driver (you could pay for the whole thing)

would be much cheaper

Thames City quoted me at 2600, with 1yrs NCB and a renewal after 6 months, with 1yrs ncb discounting the policy to £1400.

Which is 2k for the year. ( not so bad )

*Hunt continues*

@bledd. - I would do this, however it's illegal

Although with these current quotes it's bloody tempting

bledd · 20 May 2009 at 18:08

no it's not?

is it?

this is what I did for 5 years

If he is the main driver of the car it is.

If the car is shared, then would it be worth putting me as the named driver rather than main?

Im pretty sure this will bring my quotes below 2k :eek:

Major frustration!

Congrats!
