Guest Daniel Posted 18 November 2004 Share Posted 18 November 2004 Not alot to brag about but i failed it today. Started at Wigston at 9.37 and i failed it with 8 minors and 2 serious faults for poor observation. Abit annoyed but its not the end of the world, its only driving and i aint going to get myself down about it. When i got home i rang up and re-booked and the next available date is the 7th February, but told me to keep ringing for cancellations, so since dinner ive been ringing every 15 minutes and at the minute im down till 5th January, so im doing alright, hopefully will get it before Christmas at this rate. 80% of people pass second time.

Guest Posted 19 November 2004 Share Posted 19 November 2004 Bad luck, BM, hope you pass next time. I was put in for my test after 11 lessons. I passed first time!! I also had Starkey as the examiner, if anyone else has had to use Gipsy Lane, the notorious failer of up and coming young drivers!! We spent most of my test talking about my holiday and football. I had an inkling I'd passed.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shen Posted 19 November 2004 Share Posted 19 November 2004 how old do you have to be in the UK before you can start taking driving lessons? and at what age can you have your license?.. and how much does it cost (everything included)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burger Posted 19 November 2004 Share Posted 19 November 2004 Age 17 Age 17 (or a couple of months before) and between £15 and £20 an hour (yes it is a rip off) Most people take about 30 lessons to pass, I did my theory late (about 20 lessons in) so now I've booked my test and it seems like ages away. I've had 28 lessons and my test isn't until the end of January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
