  • One test

    It's a piece of piss.

  • I think I passed on my 5th test.

    Or maybe 4th, they kinda merged into one.

    No idea how many lessons I took, had a couple of different driving instructors as the first one was a bit like Begbie of Trainspotting but with no tache, and bald.

    I've found that the most i've learnt about driving is being in the car by myself after my test.

  • First test - nearly killed a cyclist

    Second test - cancelled cos it was foggy
    Third test - passed.

    • Foggy from last of the summer wine?

      I'd have demanded Compo too!

      thewarn @sadpunk | 9 Aug '07, 11:15 | X
      • My Grandpa drove Compo

        in a taxi once.

        A big step up from a bath tub.

    • My brother passed on his 8th

      haha what a tard

      junkstaposition @thewarn | 9 Aug '07, 11:23 | X
      • I'm surprised he wanted to carry on after his 7th

        Dalkin @junkstaposition | 9 Aug '07, 11:24 | X
        • I'm surprised my parents were still willing to pay for it

          junkstaposition @Dalkin | 9 Aug '07, 11:26 | X
          • :-O

  • I can't wait until the

    'so i have my third/fourth/fifth/seventyeighth driving lesson'

    threads.

    junkstaposition | 9 Aug '07, 11:24 | X
    • actually im only haveing 3 more after today

      then i have my test....cos he thinks i'm pretty good so might aswell go for the test.

      chris_is_cool @junkstaposition | 9 Aug '07, 11:26 | X
      • Erm...

        He might be taking the piss.

        Not many people pass after 5 lessons.

        Especially with maneouvres and stuff to get the hang of aswell.

        Dalkin @chris_is_cool | 9 Aug '07, 11:27 | X
        • well i have already done a fair bit of driving before

          and my lessons are two hours long.

          chris_is_cool @Dalkin | 9 Aug '07, 11:31 | X
          • Ahhhh

            Well good luck, anyway.

            Dalkin @chris_is_cool | 9 Aug '07, 11:33 | X
  • passed first time

    after two lessons. i drove my mum everywhere for 6 months, and my dad has a lot of patiance at times!

    pieces_of_reece | 9 Aug '07, 11:29 | X
  • I still haven't passed.

    I'm shit. But I have a new instructor, so fingers crossed. 5th time lucky right? RIGHT? :(

    shucks | 9 Aug '07, 11:50 | X
    • RIGHT

      LOL

      Dalkin @shucks | 9 Aug '07, 11:53 | X
      • :P bum off!

        YOU ALL KNOW I'VE GOT THIS GUN!!!??!!

        shucks @Dalkin | 9 Aug '07, 11:59 | X
        • We pass on our 6th attempt.

          Sorry. Nearly there, though!

          thewarn @shucks | 9 Aug '07, 12:00 | X
          • fingers crossed, eh?

            shucks @thewarn | 9 Aug '07, 12:02 | X
            • I would have passed on my fifth,

              but I forgot to keep nearly crashing into stuff.

              You can do 5th though! You gotta believe!

              thewarn @shucks | 9 Aug '07, 12:04 | X
              • yeah, just got to stop getting in a panic!

                Last time I could barely open the drivers door my hands were shaking so much!

                Do the test for me? :D

                shucks @thewarn | 9 Aug '07, 12:07 | X
                • GOD NO!

                  Sweaty hands, wanting to die, test lasting what seems like a day, the rain, my driving instructor turning up WITH A CAR I'D NEVER DRIVEN on the day of the test, the waiting at a green traffic light for ages, the constant stalling, the dreadful manouevres, the silence, the having to tell my mum I'd failed AGAIN...

                  NEVER AGAIN!

                  thewarn @shucks | 9 Aug '07, 12:09 | X
  • I passed on my first attempt.

    But it was just pure luck on the day, I'm not a particularly good driver. Had to take lessons for nearly a year.

    curbyourenthusiasm | 9 Aug '07, 13:59 | X
    • passed first time,

      35 lessons
