Driving test - Number 2

[smithy69]

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

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

Good luck Smithy  - when is it?

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!

4/5 years ago I was playing football at a decent level and was earning a decent whack out of it, missed out on playing in the 1st round proper of the FA Cup after we lost in extra time in the 8th/9th/10th qualifying round(cant remember which one)

So close, but so far!!!!!!!!!!!!
