PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!!

Wooooooooooo!!!

Last week (Wednesday 24th July) I passed the UK driving test!
I am so relieved and happy, after working very hard to pass the test, it took me 4 months to do it!

I had an examiner named John ( i think ) he was lovely and kind, he made me feel comfortable and calmed me down as I was quite nervous.

During the test my manoeuvre was 'reverse round a corner' i was quite wide on the manoeuvre but because i still checked all around me my observation saved me and therefore I didn't get any minors for that. Thank Goodness! Then i also had emergency stop on my test. During this I never looked around my right shoulder (blind spot) when driving of, therefore i assumed I had failed my driving test. I was grumpy for the rest of the test after that.

All in all, i only got 4 minors! Which i was very proud of.

I have a little Clio which i drive around, its an 02 reg so it is quite an old car. Oh well! I love it! I feel free and i can go wherever, whenever.

My tips if you are learning to drive or have your test soon!

1. Have as many lessons as you can afford. I had double lessons weekly, and sometimes twice a week. Therefore i was sometimes having 4 lessons a week. This was obviously quite expensive, but it meant i passed my test quite quickly, and i felt a lot more comfortable on the roads once I'd passed as i had already had quite a lot of experience, more so than some of my friends who just have one lesson a week.
2. If you can, drive in a car other than your instructors (either your own car, or your parents if they'll insure you on it) this also brings up your confidence and you will notice the difference.
3. Follow driving instructors on twitter/facebook or download an app with tips. I personally followed 'Ukadi' on twitter, who gave tips every day on safe driving and passing the UK test.
4. Ask your instructor if you are unsure, I built a great relationship with my instructor and I felt very comfortable around her, I wasn't nervous or embarrassed to ask her a question or ask her to demonstrate what she meant (like a manoeuvre).
