driving lessons - advice
in General chat
hi,
i'm currently learning to drive and i think it's about time as i'm 26 and on my 4th child (plus oh has another 3). at the mo i can get into 3rd gear and turn left at junctions - so you wouldn't get very far with me at the mo lol !!! on saturday i will be doing right junctions then the next wk i will be driving on the main roads so watch out!!!!!
has anyone got any tips for me?
if you can drive how long did it take you in total?
and how many times did it take you to pass?
michelle

there is that enough for you!!!!
Good luck.. and try to enjoy the lessons (if poss!!) x x x x x x
I eventually passed 3rd time - Like jennie I just turned into a nervous wreck everytime I had a test! It took me a while but I started learnign when I was 17 then failed and then moved away and was never in one place long enough to have lessons and take the test etc. I eventually passed aged 21. Now I couldn't live without my car use it loads and wouldn't be able to get to or from work without it anyway!
I have been learning to drive about a year. The first time i took my test i failed because i didnt really have much driving confidence and hesitated at a roundabout. the second time i failed i was huge and 3 days away from giving birth and felt like crap. i didnt see a tiny old lady waiting at a crossing (it was rush hour and loads of cars had stopped on the crossing and she was hidden behind them all) so my examiner slammed breaks on lol. as soon as she did it i knew i failed and as i was only 5 mins into the test i told her i didnt want to carry on with it. She said fine and got out of the car and walked off leaving me in the middle of somewhere i wasnt very familiar with about to pop at any minute. i had to wait about an hour for my instructor to find me!!
Im hoping to pass this time just cant afford to take test at minute. I have since bought a car that i drive like every day (under oh supervision of course) and can drive now with out even thinking about it, its like second nature so definatley think im in with more of a chance this time.
thats some more advice- buy a car and drive it as much as you can (you have to be accompanied by someone over 21 whos had a licence longer than 3 years) it gives you soo much more confidence and they do say practice makes perfect.
good luck x
i passed 1st time 2yrs ago i am 24 now its the best thing i ever did the advice i will give you is listen to everything your instructor tells you, get as much practice as possible, relax, practice your manouveres LOADS,and enjoy it it gives you so much freedom, Good Luck
