You've got much more fight in you than me when it comes to driving, so i'm impressed with your tenacity.
I failed and failed my practical driving test between the ages of 17 and 22 again and again (I forget how many times) and then gave up. I'm around your age
There's only so many times I could be kicked in the teeth, not to mention that the money I had spent was starting to get really ridiculous.
Good luck for today0 -
I suppose the big problem with the driving is the fact that you must be stressed as so much depends on passing.
Passes the Kalms!

Failed, different test centre. Got confused during the independent driving and ended up with two majors.
Placement/job up isn't gonna be good. I think the best I can ask is to do is ask to contact them again in june, when should have test and few months driving.0 -
Oh god, that's rubbish.
Why June though?0 -
Sorry to read your news.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. It really does all depend on the day!
If you keep in touch with the placement company then that'll put you in with a better chance when the test is passed and done with. If you can do that.

Basically the job/placement was a 12 month deal, usually its for degree students on a year off. I thinking this is the end point where they would usually recruit a student.
They are getting a bit fed up and I don't want it to end up on bad terms and then get nothing. Especially as the job is largely based around me driving round and doing viewings all day and in one of their cars!
By june I'll have passed and been driving about for a few months so no worries for them about my driving or having a licence.
It's all bloody heartbreaking to be frank, but I really cant think of much else to do.0 -
Chin up. Saw this one on facebook, was saving it for a rainy day:0

This month has just been insane, I've had a load of personal/family life craziness as well that I've not mentioned.
Just been a really hectic period. I'm just hoping that If I keep working hard, get this debt dealt with that I'll create a bit of luck for myself long term.
I need a break I think mentally for a week and then I'm gonna drive my mums car around for a month and then resit in jan.0 -
That sounds like a good idea on the mental break and using your Mum's car for practice.
I'm sorry to hear things are rubbish in other areas too. Hopefully the mental break will help you in those areas too.
I do believe you will definitely create an easier life for yourself with all the hard work investment you're currently putting in. You definitely deserve that too!0
