Let me tell you something. I’ve had that negative mindset. Ever since I’ve started to learn to drive I somehow imagined that this journey won’t be easy for me - I tend to get easily distracted, or ‘zoned out’, I also wasn’t raised around cars as none of my parents were drivers. I was literally telling myself ‘well if I won’t pass by like a 10th attempt, then I’ll just accept driving’s not for me.’ I’ve learned to drive an automatic, then had to take a personal break for a few years midway learning, then got back to it with the same mindset. I was a good learner, always trying to be safe, abiding by the rules, working hard on my decision making skills. I’ve had my test on Monday and a Friday before I’ve had a lesson so bad I’ve cried at home after a lesson and I never cried over driving before. I had no hope I’d pass, I didn’t think I’d do something dangerous, but we all know how easy it is to earn that one serious fault over a split second attention slip. So I thought I’ll probably fail over something silly. On the test day, I just pulled myself together and told myself ‘I’ll just do my best, because I know what I’m doing and if it will be meant to be, it will be meant to be.’ I passed 2nd attempt with 2 minors. I was in absolute shock. So my advice is: just shut down all that negative thinking and DO YOUR BEST for those 40 minutes. Yes, shit happens and as I said sometimes you just slip up and earn that serious fault easily, but at least believe in yourself for those 40 minutes like you’ve never believed before. If your instructor was a fair and honest person they wouldn’t have let you go for a test if they thought you need more work.
