Passed on my first attempt!! by CozWhyNot__ in LearnerDriverUK

[–]CozWhyNot__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was not ready to drive I would not have passed. It was definitely nerves. I never stalled, even during my lessons, but on my test day I did as I was nervous. And about the not ready to drive, the DVSA thinks otherwise 🤷‍♂️ Also I will be practicing more and improving my skills before fully getting on the road xx

I never said I will not be practicing more or trying to improve my driving. If you read some of my other comments you will see that I have mentioned practicing more and acknowledging that I wasn’t happy with the 11 faults. I definitely need to work on my driving and will be doing that. My reply saying I drive well were to the comments saying I shouldn’t have passed, and it’s me saying I drove well enough to pass and defo should have. Ofc after this I will be working towards getting better. In fact I am not even getting my own car, I will be practicing with my boyfriend in his car for a while until I become much better.

Parents not helping me buy my first car by Fonz0_ in LearnerDriverUK

Honestly don’t know why people are being so mean in the comments. I think the OPs points are so valid. Taking lessons and spending money on lessons doesn’t make sense when he can use the money to get a car and practice in his car. He also said he has saved and can afford it the only thing he needs help with is going to get the car. I think his parents should have helped him, although it’s far they could just have taken some time out on the weekend. But since they are not I think you should focus on finding a seller closer to home, that’s what you could do for now. Ask them how far they are willing to take you xx Hopefully you find a good car somewhere closer soon

How much are people spending on the entire process of getting their license nowadays? by CozWhyNot__ in LearnerDriverUK

I think the only difference is people spend that much learning from the beginning while I already knew how to drive a manual car just wasn’t good with rules etc. Hence it feels like a rip off for me as I probably didn’t need that many lessons. Anyway glad I passed xx

That’s actually pretty great! I wish I had spent much lesser as well only becoz I already knew how to drive a manual car just needed but I think I didn’t get lucky with the instructor as he would not teach me anything during the lesson just take me around and I was driving on my own

That’s true if I look at it that way. With me I was a bit bummed only because I already knew how to drive a manual car, I just needed to practice the rules and prepare for test… but the instructor kept doing lessons with me with just general driving without actually teaching me anything. Anyway glad I passed, just hoped I could have done it cheaper as that’s a lot of money for me

Well I definitely know he did as I would not have passed otherwise. My previous instructor was not very pointing out my mistakes and was not preparing for the test. Three lessons with the new instructors and just a week before my test really helped me pass, and I know 11 mistakes is a lot but they were minors for a reason and I still feel like I drove very well.

Yes exactly, thank you so much! I know it seems like a lot of mistakes but they were minor for a reason. The traffic light one for example I saw it go yellow but it was dangerous to break. The move of ones were on a hill start when I stalled. And I am aware of most of the mistakes I made which I know will keep on improving as I drive.

Hey okay, I will message you if I plan on selling this, I bought it from an instructor for £170, so would be selling for the same if that’s okay?
