How many attempts have you had before you pass your driving test? I've had two so far, third in Wendsday. I hope third time lucky :)

    Only one here.

    Having said that, I've passed all sorts of different tests for different reasons.

    Hope all goes well on Wednesday. It's not luck, though.. it's about how you cope with the unexpected. Take extra lessons before then if you feel uncertain about anything.

    passed my original driving test on my second try, and then I passed my B+E trailer test last year on my second try also.

    First time for both car & bike tests when I turned 17 - that was back in 82.
