amyjaj Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well done. I passed with 7 minors too. My driving instructor used to tell me off for going through puddles as you'll fail your test. Nothing you could have done about it in your situation today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well done! I hate puddles, they're almost as bad as potholes for me. It's been ages since I passed my test, almost a year and I've only just gotten a car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing you could have done about it in your situation today though. no, there wasn't. the examiner was a complete knob, asking me trick questions throughout and kept on asking me how i think i'm doing. i didn't want to be talked to !!! i moan about it all but i couldn't give two hoots about it now, i have passed and i am freeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

TitaniumSteve Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am a driving instructor as I think I mentioned last time. Well done. 7 minors is not to bad, does not justify a telling off. A telling off is normally given at more than 10. Besides going through puddles is not a fail you should lift off and be causious of tem but it is never a fail, after all going round one good cause more of a problem. Not that it matters now as you have passed, but the examiner asking you whike you driving 'how do you think your doing' would be considered inappropriate and you would have had grounds to complain, but doesn't matter now you passed. Consider the pass plus course, you do get ins discount but if the course is done right then it is well worth it as it involves alot of stuff you will have very little experience on. Well done .

Steve I took the pass plus course and it really helped re motorway driving and other aspects of driving. never did manage to get round to inclement weather driving though, curse the unseasonal winter sunshine! Got a year's no claims bonus on my new car as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks for the replies. i am concidering doing the pass plus course, but my dad has said he will take me on the motorway to get a bit of practice in. and the examiner asking questions, it was near the end of the test and he said "how do you think you have done?" and i just didnt really answer!!
