Just like learning to ride a bike, when you fall off, you get straight back on it. Don't give up! :)

Thanks, it's not a private one though.

what does that mean then ?

Soz to hear that Michael. I passed 3rd time, totally mucked up my 2nd one too. Chin up :)

what does that mean then ?

I'm just saying, it's not a private number plate. Because you said you liked it, a few people assume it's a private plate for some reason. :D

It looks like one though, or have you just photoshopped it?

It's photoshopped. The original plate is V878 NUG, I just made it to show my username.

I forgot I changed the avatar. :lol:

Ah Michael,sorry hun but remember next time - to watch out for those red lights they mean STOP lol, get another booked in straight away, and OMG I would never pass my test these days as I drive around a painted roundabout anticlockwise if there is nothing coming hee hee, oops just let out my really bad habits lol

sorry to hear that....good luck for next time ;)

I could write a book with all the habits I've picked up, even if I've only been driving a year lol. Main of which is I only steer with one hand, my left hand rarely comes off the gear stick. :lol:

thank you peeps. i have rebooked it for a few weeks time, i will drive to the meet!

You've done it

Learn from it

now focus on the next one

  • Author

I shall i shall. I wasn't banking on it taking this long, its silly!

Me neither took me 3 goes I was suprised because I'm quick on stuff but it just depends on the day mate.

Just gotta deal with whatever is thrown at you on the day

Sorry to hear, Michael.

I know how disappointed you must be. I was exactly the same, one of my tests, I failed at a mini roundabout, simply because the paint was so worn, I couldn't see to go around it properly =/ it is so annoying, but you do live and learn from it.

I passed 3rd time lucky, even then I was sure I had failed, lol.

Just hang in there, you will do it! You just need to keep your calm, and relax yourself!

I would try the Bach Rescue Remedy Spray, though. I swear it helped me, as I was a wee bag of nerves on my other tests, come my 3rd test, I was like, right! Go out there, and do it, lol.

don't worry about it mate, i passed 3rd time, so did my girlfriend and one of my other mates did too. you'll do fine next test, just take it easy!

I am actually a driving instructor, so if I can help with advice, let me know.

By the way it is acepted to put your off side two wheels on a mini roundabout. Very suprised your instructor did not tell u that, something I cover after about 5-6hrs, but may be you forgot.

Anyway if I can help let me know.
