an dina tell me til ditch 'e wine...plenty o' time for 'at ;)

No advice, cos know I would fail the theory test miserably, and no chance of ever passing a driving test again. Have been driving since I was 17, as long as you could reverse round a corner without taking a pedestian with you and read a number plate two feet away they deemed you roadworthy. you could always try giving some of that wine to the examiner cloud his judgement slightly:)

yer probly rite tony...

did ye hev til do all 'e airm signals when ye done yer test?

back yonder, in 'e black an white days...when there were no orange indicators :Razz

[Fluff]

well I am not the best person to give advice as I have failed both my tests (first one very close, second one failed badly lol) but the best tip I always got was do not think you have failed until you are told you have! (i.e. don't make a stupid mistake once you have decided what is the point in carrying on)
Good luck, try to relax! xx

Aye, stay off my roads. Thank you!:D

[kriklah]

good luck when you go it for real. i passed the theory with flying colours, then failed the practical twice! at least with the test sheet you can see what things need more practice on.

as for green L or P plates for after? waste of time and money. i put P plates on and after a couple of weeks found out the P stands for "Please ignore me!" or "Prats Please Pass me at stupid speed and place!"

[Bad Manners]

When you pass your test you are deamed fit to drive on the queens highway and as such have no need for the P plate. on passing your test you will have reached the standard required and that shoud give you sufficent confidence.
There are many many driver out there that have passed their tests but still drive like idiots just try not to be like them.
Good luck with your tests

[AfternoonDelight]

Thank goodness I passed mine before separate theory tests came in!

Although sitting in the test car on the Harbour Hill, trying to remember which side of the motorway the green lights were on, as NB studied me intently was still intimidating! :confused

Just stay cool Trix - you'll be fine!! :cool:

[cuddlepop]

Well done you for trying.

Cant offer any advice as I dont drive but friends I've supported through it have said its easier if you can keep your nerve,treat it as another lesson and really believe you've passed.

OMG

I just did that test and the pass mark was 43 out of 50 and i scored 40 :eek:

I passed my driving test 15 years ago, so i am ok phew

Glad i don't have to do it now

[sphinx]

No advice, cos know I would fail the theory test miserably, and no chance of ever passing a driving test again. Have been driving since I was 17, as long as you could reverse round a corner without taking a pedestian with you and read a number plate two feet away they deemed you roadworthy. you could always try giving some of that wine to the examiner cloud his judgement slightly:) i ile make sure my car is always in a the drive when u pick herself up wink wink lol ..........lol.........:lol:

[Whitewater]

You will be fine trix, just keep calm and follow the instructions given to you. I've passed numerous driving tests in my time for one thing or another, none of them were easy, but I had confidence in my instructor and this seemed to pass on to me. Somebody advised earlier in this thread to throw away you P or green L plates as you were deemed to be an expert if you passed. I can assure you that is not true, you only really learn to drive after you have passed your test. The test gives you confidence to drive safely and share the road with other road users, and credits you with enough sense to realise your limits. Don't get too carried away with the power and speed of your car, use them wisely and you will enjoy many years of driving, it is great fun, but requires your full attention 100% of the time your are sitting behind that wheel. The confidence comes from putting in the miles in all sorts of driving conditions. I don't think you need to use the P or green L plates though, they will only draw attention to yourself, the last thing you want when you are negotiating difficult driving conditions.

[trix]

cheers whitewater, still condemplatin' them P plates but thanks for 'e advice an 'e support.....

[Foxy]

Well done Trix, i'm delighted for ye. :)

[theone]

I did my test 11 years ago, learned with the woman from Broadhaven.

She took me out for half an hour before my test for a "mock" one, I failed miserably.

I remember her shouting at me to "check my mirrors", I "didn't have a hope in hell" if I drove like that etc.

Needless to say 45 minutes later I had a "real" pass, with only 3 minors.

I still don't think I'd have passed if she hadn't shouted at me so much. It really did focus the concentration.

[cuddlepop]

choost til let everyone ken that i PASSED ma theory test - fair delited wi masel :lol:

cheers for all 'e support guys ;)

Now all you have to do is pass the driving test.
Make sure you book your test when the moons in the right position.;)

I passed my theroy first time but failed my test and never tryed again do regret it must say

[sweetpea]

Passed my test in my late twenties, before that a man that tried to teach me told me I was no good and it knocked my confidence. Then I passed the theory no bother but 2 attempts at the test. The guy that was the tester made me feel like crap and I failed, next time, he was on holiday and I got throguh no bother, tester was ace!
Never looked back, G knows what I did before I could drive.:)

[trix]
