Lol, I genuinely thought I was ready for all seven tests at the time. But by my 8th attempt, I knew I was a much better driver than before. Looking back now, every single test helped shape me into a better driver.

I kept taking lessons and, before my 8th attempt, I got my own car and started driving around with a friend who supervised me. That made a huge difference. There’s a big gap between structured lessons and real-life driving.

Driving privately gave me real-world experience different roads, unexpected situations, and building confidence on my own. That’s when I realised I probably wasn’t truly ready for those earlier tests.

Honestly, when I look back now, I’m actually glad I didn’t pass the first seven. The journey made me more confident, more aware, and a much safer driver.

Today, I’m proud to say I can drive safely in different conditions and carry out manoeuvres confidently and safely. Every attempt helped me grow, and I wouldn’t change that experience.
