Well done on ur driving test! I just failed mine... 2 serious on observation :o Have it again soon so hopefully i'm luckier this time!
The car i'm learning in is a 08 Corsa but then when i pass i'm going to be driving my x reg corsa and I couldn't be happier. There's just something about the older engines that makes my corsa feel special!

Well i have my theory next month and im bricking it to be honest haha. I am reading this highway code and taking the tests and some sticks in and some goes straight over my head, the hazard perception also seems difficult but not really practiced that but most of all i think the practical will be hard, listning to everyone here it seems easy to fail !

Bit of warning for you dan!

If your doing your test in your own car, the instructor can be funny with you (espec if car done up), they are more likely to pick up on silly little things etc. They have a thing against done up cars!

Thanks! Yes was very unlucky, especially when it was the 1st right turn which he failed me on observation. I'm sure it was test nerves but can't argue really...
