GypsyScy Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Congrats Khit!!! I passed my third test the Friday morning of the tall ships!! I doubt the fact I didn't have a driving instructor for the first 2 tests was the reason it took till the 3rd!! Baptism of fire as far as driving goes ......... I'm in Ireland and driving just now which is a whole different kettle of fish!!! Driving in Shetland will be a breeze when I get home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Only sat it once and failed. Never tried again, got a bike instead and passed on that no trouble Once i had a bike I never wanted a car I can appreciate that sentiment. In days of ice and snow, or wind and rain, thinking a car *might* be a wiser choice of transport, yeah, it happens, but only until you make it in to the lee, and to actually want a car, nope. Great big clumsy unmanueverable lumps of uselessness is all they are. I think you tried doing it the wrong way around though, car first is the steep learning curve, the bike is a cinch by comparison, and once you're gotten that, you can cream the car one no bother.

cristymartine Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I recently started driving lessons and all is going well. Instructor seems to think that at this rate I'll be able to sit my practical test by the end of the summer. I'm incredibly nervous even thinking about the practical driving test. How many times did it take you? Good think now you are a good driver. Did you pass your driving test in first attempt or not? If yes then your driving instructor is really very good.

CrunchieSquirrel Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 When I did my driving test in November last year, I must be the only person who never felt nervous at doing the big one. It was the same when I did my theory which was three months earlier, both of those tests I only passed the first time, some of my old schoolpals said they passed their theory test on the second go. I must be very lucky! Also, after passing the test, I am starting counting car drivers who switch their foglights on when it isn't foggy (obviously, you shouldn't put your foglights on when there isn't any fog about: it's illegal). I have now come to a cumulative total of about 136, this was in four months after passing my test. I was astounded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector's House Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You'd be amazed at the number of drivers who have no idea what the lights on their dashboard mean. Add to that the number who never even look at their instruments or what is going on around them and you realise how incredibly low the crash rate is!

piggywiggie Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I honestly think they should have a 'lights' lesson when driving. I had no idea about lights really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you want to improve your driving skills after passing your test you can do the pass Plus course - Malcolm Craigie does it up here. I understand that the SIC pays half the cost. https://www.gov.uk/pass-plus/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
