Title: Driving test - Number 2 Post by: smithy69 on August 10, 2006, 12:28:29 PM Well it is booked, and hopefully 2nd time lucky.
Not so worried this time as I know what to expect and think I am at a level where I can pass. My instructor has told me I am wasting my money with him (nice guy) as I wont get any better. Last time nerves cost me passing as I shit myself for some reason. I have played football in front of 2,000 people and played cricket to the same and never had a minutes nerves or worry.This driving test totally changed that. I have bought some spray which apparently relaxes you I have only told 1 person I am taking this test (the missus), and now blonde to try and take the pressure off a bit. Last time I had 10 phone calls in the morning to wish me good luck, which was nice but I felt the pressure even more after that. Any advice guys Title: Re: Driving test - Number 2 Post by: Graham C on August 10, 2006, 01:00:01 PM Just concentrate. When I passed my test, I stalled the car about 5 times because of nerves but the instructor said my driving and manouvers were so good I couldn't be failed.
Easy to say, but just try and stay calm. Open the window a bit to let some air in and take a deep breath before setting off. Mirror, signal, manouver :D Good luck Smithy - when is it? Title: Re: Driving test - Number 2 Post by: Sark79 on August 10, 2006, 01:03:46 PM Good luck mate.
Football? Title: Re: Driving test - Number 2 Post by: smithy69 on August 10, 2006, 01:14:39 PM Football??
Is that a question or a comment lol Title: Re: Driving test - Number 2 Post by: Claw75 on August 10, 2006, 01:19:00 PM Last time nerves cost me passing as I shit myself Try not to defecate this time is probably a good start! Just try to stay calm and relaxed - if you make a mistake, don't think 'sod it I've failed' and give up - just carry on as normal. When I took my driving test I mounted the kerb on the reverse parallel park. My driving instructor had previously informed me that mounting the kerb was an immediate fail so, as far as I was concerned that was it. I still went through the motions of the rest of the test though, and did everything as I would had I still be in with a chance. I was gobsmacked when he told me at the end that I had passed!
