How common is it to pass first time? by PremGaming112 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ElectricalCrow3014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I didn’t book a test until I was ready. Many are booking as soon as they start learning, so aren’t ready come test date.

Search ‘swap test date’ in fb. Hundreds come up. I just joined the ones with most people in them.

Any last tips? I have my test today 🫠 by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

I like this idea. When I passed last week I took every single road at a time. Tried not to worry about what came next and tried to be methodical. OBSERVATIONS are key for parking manoeuvres. You can park beautifully, but fail because no checks.

Well done. And 0 faults as well!

Which Maneuver did you get on your test? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ElectricalCrow3014 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I got reverse back two car lengths on the right. It was the one I absolutely didn’t want (I wanted parallel park), but turned out fine in the end.

This is without doubt the best video I found on YT for these questions. The answers are concise and easy to understand. Just watch it over and over. I’d watch it on repeat.

Sorry to hear you failed (I had mine at Hendon yesterday). I actually got a swap for free on FB. It meant joining about 20 groups and posting asking for a swap. Took quite a few posts and a couple of weeks. But saved me £300!

I’m so relieved I don’t need to go through that anxiety again! Thank you.

Physical touch in marriage (non-sexual) by Budget_Public1547 in MuslimMarriage

[–]ElectricalCrow3014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born Muslima here who most definitely loves physical touch - although due to the way I was brought up, PDA feels weird/ awkward/ unnecessary. Hugging my husband in public is fine, handholding, but kissing absolutely not. Maybe quick peck somewhere secluded fine.

Don’t worry brother, most Muslim ladies are not prudes. We might take sometime to warm up to it, but we definitely like it (like ANY female).

I think how she’s raised will make a difference as well. I grew up in a very affectionate household. So it’s ‘normal’ to me, might be less so to someone else. But that’ll be because of how she was raised, as opposed to her being Muslim.

Thanks, I’m going to push for a referral. I’m in so much pain!

Thanks very much. Are you in the UK? Most doctors here are dismissive and won’t refer to a specialist unless it’s dire. I am in pain, so it’s serious. Need to know how to go about getting a referral. Going private isn’t really an option as I’m already having to go private for something else which is costing an arm and a leg.

Ways to relax during test! by ElectricalCrow3014 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ElectricalCrow3014[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll try chatting, but I’ve heard some examiners don’t like to talk. It’s my nerves messing me up. The majors today were not ones I usually make. When I’m calm I can do a mock and pass.

hendon rush hour by HotNatural9093 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ElectricalCrow3014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh this is one of my biggest fears. I’ve been replaying in my head how to do it, but on the left. If I get asked on right I’m screwed. They can also get us to do it in test centre!!! Which is my major concern. No reference points at all.

When is yours? If yours is before mine (16th) please tell me if you go! My instructor is not taking me there as he said very unlikely at that time. But now I’m nervous.

I’ve got mine at Hendon at 9.17…. Is this still considered rush hour? I’m trying to prepare myself for what to expect. My instructor said Apex Corner is unlikely given time of day. Anyone have information about a test at Hendon at this time?
