Thanks mate, I know what you mean, it felt good enough when I got my CBT for my motorbike, this feels ten times better than that

Would you really want me to put people through such horror?

Well done mate - glad you passed this time..

I have a mate who took 7 attempts to pass

You'll look back in a few months and wonder how you managed without a car (or your folks will wonder what to do with all the extra free time they have...

)

Thanks again people, just looking to see what car to get now, think I might revive that thread we did a while back about car choices

Well done!

Congratulations on pasing

tip: motorway practice as k your DI for a lesson on the motorway, a couple of hours on the M56 should be OK,

or 'maybe' the M60/61/Worsley interchange at rush hours

Chris W · 13-10-2004, 14:02

(i did

)

maybe the A6144M or A601M?

Or any of these for that matter lol!

Well done

now keep your head and don't get caught being silly, cos if you do in the first few months you will have to do it all again

ZrByte · 13-10-2004, 21:19

Thanks again everyone, you have all been so supportive, now to go and revive that thread I mentioned about earlier so I can make a more informed decision when I buy my car

Welcome to the traffic jams,the tailgaters,the flat caps,speed cameras,road works,the other stupid drivers...Frankly the amount of freedom is being curtailed daily and the open road is no longer as open as it once was.Gridlock just about kills any sense of freedom.

I'm so sick of being on a nice bit of open country road doing a nice steady speed with no one in front of me and loads of space behind me and what happens?Some g*t pulls out in front of me and proceeds at a speed at least 10 MPH under the speed I was doing and 20 under the road speed limit.I hate people like that.

They always HAVE to pull out in front of you.Can't wait for you to get past.

Well done but don't think it will improve the quality of your life it won't.The continual search for a parking space at peak times will put paid to that.

Having a car improved my life ten fold

Freedom, no reliance on anyone is great.

My Driving instructor thinks I have as good a chance as most of his students to pass, not bad really considdering I only started learning last monday.
Whats really making me nervous is that I havent passed one of my mock tests, I have come close, this morning I got 13 minors and made 1 serious in the last 30 seconds of the test doing my parralel parking.

Well any advice is more than welcome, or even if just want to wish me luck (need all the luck I can get I think). I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi good luck i have my driving test tomorrow at 11.11, i have had a week of of lessons although this is my 3rd test,
