[ann_capri]

any-one learning to drive

 

i've had 4 lessons so far but it seems like a never ending road to a pass and feel like i'm never going to get there , dose any-one else feel like this or am i thr only one

 

your views please

when i first had lessons i did a week long intensive course with a test at the end. i failed the test due to a dodgy take away the night before - i just wanted to get back to the test centre to use the loo

 

after that i drove for a long while without a licence

 

i then had another few lessons with a cr@p instructor (in an Astra) - he kept cancelling and stuff so i changed instructors. failed test with this guy cos his car broke down and i couldn't complete the test.

 

failed third test cos i took it in my own car - examiner took one look at the 3.0 turbo charged Supra and decided i'd failed

 

i then had some lessons with a bloke called Pete (in Plymouth) who was marvellous. think i only had about 8 lessons with him.

 

passed test on 4th attempt

God I still remember my lessons and test. I did 40 hours on the road then took my test a month after my 18th birthday. I was still recovering from a nasty kidney infection caused by my drinks being spiked on my birthday I was sick as a dog and I passed. The examiner said he put it down to nerves I went home and went back to bed Didn't start to get out and about til a month later. Then I bought my first car 6 months later a Mk1 Escort.

 

I would to hate to learn to drive now

I would to hate to learn to drive now

 

agree with that

 

took my tests in 1979, failed my first one due to nerves,

then passed my second one,

also i tried my advanced test soon after, failed that, took it too early after passing'

 

good luck withh your lessons

aaahhhh learning to drive!!! when i first started i loved it, and by the end i hated it, havin to do everything properly was stupid!! took me 14 lessons to pass, got 34/35 and 68 on hazard or summert and 7 minors, but hey 14hrs and pass 1st time

i dont think i'll be that quick , i'v had 8hrs already and am only on 2 for the 1-10 charts , so might take a while to get to 10 , but when i do then i'll be ready for my test

I started my lessons the week after Christmas and passed the following March (first time). I thought they'd put me through my test after a few lessons but the instructor told me i wouldn't pass. I got so bored with having to go for lessons cause i knew i could drive but it had to be done. Good luck with the lessons though, you'll get there soon enough. Have you done your theory yet? I hear the DVLA are changing the theory in September!!!

[ann_capri]

no not yet , still got lots to learn , im using driving test success, and have a go every day , but only got a pass 6 times, and the rest im about 1 or 2 questions wrong so get a fail , but i will get there but the 50 questions will be in by then

[NHR115]

Keep trying - you can do it. The theory is mainly common sense but keep doing the driving test success thingy. Thats what i used and the questions in the real test are identical to the questions on that practice test.

took my from august to march to pass...which also involved a 3 week holiday to asia

 

passed theory first time with 34 out of 35 and 49 out of 75 on my hazzard perception.

 

failed first test due to cutting up a mini who was up my arse and passed second time

If it takes a while then at least you know youve had plenty of practice.

 

I started lessons in september and did my test on the 20th of december. A lesson every week i could. Instead of going in headfirst once my instructor said i was ready, i said no and booked the test a little later purely so i knew i was 110% ready. I passed first go (4 minors) and i account it to just taking my time.

 

The theory is common sense mixed with a little memory. The video thing is stupid. Just click a lot but not too much. i was always confident on them and i think its the best way to be. Just take your during the test, theres no rush.

starting learning in around september time hopefully

in 4 years it will be impossible
