I am trying my driving test in a few weeks time.
Any tips for a veteran learner driver who is absolutely terrified, especially of the clutch!, emergency stops, traffic lights, roundabouts etc. etc. etc.

Just be yourself. Try not to impress too much. Wear dangly earings(if you have pierced ears) so that when you look in the mirror the examiner can see them moving. Set your mirror so you have to actually move your head to see in it, not just move your eyes. plenty of revs. I'm sure you'll be fine. GOOD LUCK!!!!!  |

Thanks Shmoo, I'll bear that in mind.
Pat Butcher type earrings I think.
My daughter reckons I'm like a boy racer! all I need is a baseball cap and thumping music and I could blend in with the rest of 'em. No problem with plenty of revs - thats my speciallity usually through blind panic!
Never mind I'll have a go

Good Luck, I don't think I can give much advice, as I'm sure the rules here in Oz are different! However, ALWAYS make sure you stop completly at a stop sign - that one got a few of my friends. Cheers, Beck  |

Failed.
Actually it wasn't that bad, I was shaking like a leaf at first but once I got into it I was okay.
Unfortunately I had 2 faults, speed (too slow on a fast road, I stayed behind a long, long lorry for too long) and I cut a corner. But I will try again. Other than that I think I did alright.

Aw bad luck. Send away for your test straight away. My cousin sat his test 5 times and he is one of the safest drivers I know. Let us know how you get on. |

Thanks Shmoo, I'll do that. At least I know what to expect now, but I feel gutted, I thought I did well. Never mind.
