blue army Posted 8 May 2006 Posted 8 May 2006 hi all just seen if any one has past there test in the last few weeks our so,i have got my in 3 dyas.if so was it easy?any tips 4 the big day?
lcfcalan Posted 8 May 2006 Posted 8 May 2006 Lee just had his last week , passed with 1 minor. Just relax and dont scare the tester. Drive smoothly and dont worry about if you fail, we all get there in the end . (those of you who know Lee , will note that Mark was gutted cos he took two times to pass )
Nationwider Posted 8 May 2006 Posted 8 May 2006 If the examiner asks you to go straight on at the next roundabout, don't go straight over the roundabout, as a friend of mine once did. Relax, and remember your mirrors.
IDEA OR IKEA Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 If the examiner asks you to go straight on at the next roundabout, don't go straight over the roundabout, as a friend of mine once did. Relax, and remember your mirrors. That never happened
Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 When I passed my test we didnt have all this theory malarky but it was still terrifying! I passed first time although I dont know why at the time The best thing is, as people have said, is to relax and think about what the examiner is telling you, keep your wits about you and always be aware of what is going on around you. Remember: Mirror, Signal, Manoeuver Good Luck!

Remember: Mirror, Signal, Maneuver Good Luck! Or just remember to look randomly into the mirrors every 5 secs. (what my instructor told me) - you wont use them when you have passed.

"Why look behind you when you are going forward, if everybody was mindful of whats infront of them then you would never need to look back" E.G.Gooperbanger When you are pulling of you need to use your mirrors though, hence mirror, signal, manoeuver but yes after that you dont really use them apart from changing lanes and merging into roads. My instructor also told me "keep to the left and you'll always be right" but then he did used to tap my leg with a stick when I used to 'ride the clutch' it didnt work though as I still do it now.

Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 Or even Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre . Sorry! I knew it didnt look right.

I live on the clutch - just hold it down all the time - bliss
Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 I live on the clutch - just hold it down all the time - bliss So do I, round corners and everything I know it knackers it eventually but I cant help it.
Strokes Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 I actually found my lessons harder than my test, so if you don't pass just blame your instuctor for making your lessons too easy
Sir Fynwy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 When you are pulling of you need to use your mirrors though, hence mirror, signal, manoeuver but yes after that you dont really use them apart from changing lanes and merging into roads. My instructor also told me "keep to the left and you'll always be right" but then he did used to tap my leg with a stick when I used to 'ride the clutch' it didnt work though as I still do it now. I hate that (yes I am talking to you Lisa), fitting a new clutch is such a pain.
sackmycook Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 when i was 17 and going to take my first driving test a good friend of mine who had passed a few weeks earlier reccommended i smoke a spliff beforehand to relax. i did got stoned and failed.
Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 I hate that (yes I am talking to you Lisa), fitting a new clutch is such a pain. Try tapping her leg with a stick
Sir Fynwy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 Try tapping her leg with a stick Will you pay the hospital bills?
Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 Will you pay the hospital bills? No you can get treated via the NHS like everyone else.
Sir Fynwy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 No you can get treated via the NHS like everyone else. I'm not sure that the NHS do rectal stickectomies
Katy Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 I'm not sure that the NHS do rectal stickectomies :laugh: Then a good lawyer may be in order (remember you can't use Lisa )
Matt Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 So do I, round corners and everything I know it knackers it eventually but I cant help it. I do that also, Got through about 2 clutches on my Corsa and when I was selling it I think the clutch that was on it was on it way out, Mind you that along with Wheel Spinning really isn't healthy for the car or clutch...
Muz Posted 9 May 2006 Posted 9 May 2006 I have my practical test on the 25th of this month , Shitting It.
