    I was also told by my instructor to emphasise the head movement when looking in the mirrors for the same reason. If I remember right she said to check the rear mirror every 7-10 seconds.

    Must've failed.

    Would've been back if they'd passed.

    i passed! :j

    6 minors, four of which were for not looking in the mirrors :o

    just been out for a long drive with my mum, who couldn't hide her fear lol, white knuckles where she was holding on :rotfl: although she kept the fear out of her voice, I felt quite nervous but will go out again with my sis and get my confidence up.

    Thanks for all your kind wishes and tips :)

    This may seem daft, but eat a banana before the test, releases energy slow and I am sure it help me during my test...don't know how, I was advised to eat one by my instructor/

    i did this by the way!
    needed the loo like mad all the way round, so this added an extra layer of tension lol
