Morning everyone.

I have a little quidco tip for you that I found on one of the other boards, not sure if anyone has seen it already but if you go here: http://www.quidco.com/saxoprint/ you can order a free sample package thing (completely free, no postage). You should get £3.50, mine has tracked but will wait to see if it validates as technically I'm not sure whether it counts as an order or not.

Hope everyone has a nice day ahead of them.

ooh-i was wondering if that would work, off to do that now, thanks Nicki, not fussed if it doesnt validate its worth a try!

Really in an unhappy mood now. My driving my AWFUL today, i'm close to tears. I wasn't in the mood to be drivng, so i messed up all my reversing into side road, bay park, the only two i managed was parallel parking and turn in the road, and those two i always found easy anyways. So stressed, i doubt i will be ready for Thursday :mad:
I keep getting confused when i reverse into a side road, and knowing which way to steer to get the wheels right. I should know this but my head was all over the place and i didn't have a clue. My driving instructor kindly said if i drive like that on my test they will bring me back after 10 minutes, soooooo unhappy. I'm going thru my 'The Practical Test Questions and Answers' book. Hopefully that will help me.

Also need to learn about the car and where all the bits are ready for show me tell me, and i only started learning that today :eek:

arrrggghhhh! So just feel like i've chucked nearly 3K down the drain in a year learning to drive.

Oh Hayley dont panic. I had days when i just couldnt drive at all, and my instructor just used to make me stop the car (in a quite side street, not on a main road lol) and calm down.

You are probably getting nervous for Thursday, which is why you are feeling a bit all over the place.

Just think that tomorrow you can go over the things you didnt get quite right today. And be proud that you got the turn in the road and parallel parking spot on. After all, you only do 2 manouvers in a test, so technically you passed that bit.

Re: getting confused, if you do in your test, stop and think. There is no time limit on how quickly you do things. They would rather you took your time, thought about it and did it right.

Oh and a little note: I did a practice practical test with my instructor the day before my test (the one i passed). I failed it miserably. I got god knows how many minors, a couple of majors, including nearly running someone over on a zebra crossing... what im trying to say is you may drive so much better on the test.

Very useful comment from your instructor-pillock!!!
My last few lessons before my test were dreadful too, nothing went right, i think its just nerves. i was really nervous for about 6 months before but on test day i was fine! and i passed.
You will be fine, most of the questions are basics -have you got anyone (hate to sound sexist but prob male) who could give you a few hints?

moneymabel

Oh yeah- and i passed my test 5 years ago and i still cant do a parallel park so youre one up on me already! (just glad i didnt get it on my test lol)

Thank you guys :A :A

I think part of me is fed up of learning. I've been learning for a year, and only last week did i learn how to reverse into a side ride. All my intructors have been rubbish, and i really feel like reporting them for being crap and just robbing me. It now feels like my instructor now is fed up of me, she has a right moody face on when i can't get something right, and never very encouraging. She forgets how much i have to pay for my lessons and normally brings me back half hr before i'm due to finish, so thats really like stealing £10 from me. Maybe i should get the guts to say my lessons doesn't finish for another half hour, so why a i home already. Then she moans when i can't do it. STOP ROBBING ME THEN YOU STUPID MOO!!!!

As you can see i'm in a really bad mood, i actually feel like a horrible person, and i'm never like that!!!! :rolleyes:
