Any final tips? Driving test.

[PaulMacC]

I have my first driving test at the end of this week. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me to take in. I'm some-what confident in my driving and if I fail it'll be a silly thing or me mucking up a manoeuvre. But yeah any advice?

Just try not to be nervous. Drive to please the examiner and then drive how you want once you've got the licence! Only that 40minutes you need to drive like a granda

Don't drive into things

But yeah just controlling the nerves is the big thing. You know how to drive obv or you wouldn't be taking the test, so don't worry about it

Dont drive slowly... (many people drive slowly hoping that they wont make any mistakes)

by that i mean attempt to reach the speed limits if/when you can if conditions allow you to, if you drive too slowly youll be marked down on 'progression'

Get into the car, and drive where the examiner tells you to. If they tell you to do a three point turn, do a three point turn.

It's costing me £80 to rent out my instructors car + a less beforehand. Isn't that a tad expensive compared to some lol?

I would have thought so, I just need to pay for the two hours (as in, a lesson before hand and then the hour of the test) which is £44.

Thanks. Any other tips?

Over exaggerated observation skills, and revise the "under the bonnet" stuff before your test.

Imagine it's your instructor next to you in the car, also, don't beat yourself up over every little mistake, i thought i had failed my second test but i only ended up having 3 minors. Good luck, let us know how it goes !
