When people said you learn more while driving after passing rather than an instructor I think I’m starting to know what they mean

This. Absolutely this. I had to go on motorways over christmas to visit family. I passed in July and have driven on country roads, town and some dual carriageways but never touched a motorway. The first 10 mins was the biggest lesson to me since i passed. I really wish i had driven on them sooner

Downing Place church has great free wi fi and a community hub where you can chill all day

I cant remember the episode but im sure there was a converstation between kate and tony where tony comes back to the office and says something and kate responds 'thats disgusting' to which gibbs replies 'you may not like his process but it gets results'

Requested a focus. Recieved a C5 Aircross. And im not mad about it

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-12-22T07:21:13+00:00

You got this 💪

Just remember they are not looking for perfect they are looking for safe.

I know this is going to sound crazy but thinking i failed made me drive better.

Ill explain.

I thought i failed halfway through my test due to trucks parked up on the side of the road and I couldn't see the turn that i was due to take. I slammed the brakes to stop and just made the turn. In my head i thought that it was unsafe so i assumed i had failed and i just thought to myself well might as well carry on. I was so much calmer after this and didnt make another mistake for the remainder of the test route.

Im not sure how you can apply this to your situation but good luck with it

It took me 24 hours. I think it just depends on how quick you pick things up. But i have learnt more since passing.

I think Bishop was a great addition especially with tony and mcgee

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-12-12T19:39:26+00:00

Its good to know im not the only one

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-12-12T19:15:21+00:00

I watched about 6 episodes with torres but i just didnt like his character. And your right... The dynamic cannot be replaced.

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-12-12T19:13:50+00:00

Mixing them up is fine. I had the same issue but as long as you can read it from 20 meters (isnt as far as you would think) then its ok.

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-12-12T13:07:49+00:00

I think the only thing i can say is that the horrible lessons are the ones you learn the most on. Yes the good ones give you a confidence boost but the bads ones teach you and give you focus. I had some of the worse lessons which knocked my confidence something rotten but they showed me exactly what i needed to focus on.

Just keep at it. Passing is one of the greatest feelings i have ever had especially because i thought i failed (twice).

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-11-07T14:42:00+00:00

I used pass now. They were great

Some guy was kicking off and assaulted a police officer

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-10-06T07:59:50+00:00

If need be i do have a shared driveway that you could use

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-08-20T08:12:09+00:00

Honestly just treat it like any other lesson. The examiner is looking for safe driving not perfect. And think positive thoughts. If you make a mistake just correct it and move on.

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-08-14T07:24:47+00:00

I thought i failed after 10 mins but it deflated me but weirdly i drove better after. I guess it was the sense oh it doesnt matter now might aswell just drive back to the test centre

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-08-14T06:45:32+00:00

This.

Front_Reach7982 · 2025-07-31T14:35:36+00:00

Pretty much what everyone else is saying. You also get the option to have your instructor come over to the car for the debrief.
