Gatt Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Well here I go again... Test time @ 13:33 today! I'm not gonna let a pesky mini roundabout get me this time... Posted via Mobile Device
Michael Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 It took me three goes, so don't worry! All the best for 13:33. The DVLA seem to issue really odd start times don't they?
Gatt Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah they do- and they come out their little office at dead on that time too!! Got till end of Jan to pass or I need to resit my Theory test :-S
Guest Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Dont worry about it too much (i know thats easier said than done). The examiner is only human after all; just because they failed you dont mean you cant drive. I failed for speeding, i was doing 35 in a 40 - work that one out! You've probably already been told but; you dont start to learn how to drive until you've passed your test. Do as you've been taught and you should be fine. The test i passed on i thought i was appauling, infact i know i was, but i still passed, so if you make a mistake just carry on!
Edu-IT Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Best of luck! How much do they charge you now? I paid £50 in May, I think, but I bet it's about £60 now?
bloxy Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Good luck, I passed second time around but only five years ago, late starter, I'm 40 now. On my test I passed I made a mistake and said sorry I know I shouldn't have done that, the examiner passed me and I think partly it was because I aknowledged the mistake. But you won't make any mistakes, will cruise through nicely and do really well. Think positive cheers Adrian
gwendes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Haven't got the guts to take mine... Love riding a motorbike and living in a city where traffic barely moves I can't see the point... well that's my excuse! Passed the theory a couple of months ago but can't bare the idea of failing - even once... Good luck!
Hightower Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Just try not to panic. If you make a mistake no matter how big, keep driving and forget about it. All the best!
Anon Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Best of luck! How much do they charge you now? I paid £50 in May, I think, but I bet it's about £60 now? I paid around £65 for the test this September, £40 to hire my instructors car for two hours and lost £80 because I had to take a day off work to take the test. Good job I passed or I would have been livid! Two days before the test the DSA rang me and asked if they could put my test an hour back to 2:30. Then, on the morning of the test (phoned me at 8am) they then asked/told me that the test would have to be at 3:30! Right at the school run! Cheeky buggers.
TechMonkey Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Good luck. I shan't tell you the number of times I failed & honest most were for the studipest things out of my control. The final time was when I had decided to do it or quit. Relaxed, just forgot it was a test and passed with praise from the examiner. So just pretend it is a normal driving lesson & all will be fine. @gwenes: Most people I have spoken to have said that after driving a bike the car test was easy! Go for it.
Gatt Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 It was about £56 when I booked - but then its a further £40 for the instructor too - 2 hours - 1hour lesson before and for the hire of the car for the test..
sidewinder Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Just try not to panic. If you make a mistake no matter how big, keep driving and forget about it. All the best! What if you drive into a wall? Not saying you would Gatt! Good luck! Took me 6 attempts to pass
plexer Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Just take note of the road conditions and drive accordingly especially today if it's wintery in your area. Ben
gwendes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 @gwenes: Most people I have spoken to have said that after driving a bike the car test was easy! Go for it. I don't have a problem driving. Everyone says I don't need more lessons and I feel fine - I drive like I ride and assume that I'm about to be killed at any given moment! I have a problem with taking the test - a horrible feeling grips me and I convince myself I will fail so I don't bother!
sidewinder Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ^ good point. It was very slippy earlier - wouldnt fancy taking mine today! Try and impress the examiner with a few handbrake turns in the icy test centre car park
gwendes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ^ good point. It was very slippy earlier - wouldnt fancy taking mine today! Try and impress the examiner with a few handbrake turns in the icy test centre car park Remember to lock up the brakes on downhill stretches and slide on the ice too... saves fuel!
gwendes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 What if you drive into a wall? Not saying you would Gatt! Good luck! Took me 6 attempts to pass My friend once push-started his car leaning in through the window (don't ask) and locked himself out! The car took down a neighbour's wall!
sparkeh Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Good luck man! I'll be sending positive vibes.
Nedders Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 :D I PASSED!! :D :D Thought you hadn't seeing as you took so long to post! Congrats - go celebrate:D
pscott Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 how many fivers did you have to slip the examiner? Congrats
