Dan6061 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I passed a month ago, 5th time though. Kept messing up at the beginning because I was so nervous!One I passed I did in my Mini, and only got 5 minors. "You were speeding but I couldn't see"My dial surrond had started to fall off, so he couldn't see it! But yeah, if you have your own car, do it in that!

Thats what I did.I passed with 3 minors. The driving examiner ran through a list of things that I done wrong on the test. So I fort I f**ked it up! then he said I passed! was chuffed...

aener Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My dad's a driving instructor - he's got about an 85% first time pass rate. He said that about 80% of people that fail, fail due to nerves...Basically - don't get nervous, and drive exactly as you normaly would - and you'll be fine .
