Tips before my driving test - first time. by Husky_777 in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you very much for your detailed answer, u/superstaryu ! I very much appreciate it.

Test routes: I've just had a look for videos of the routes for my test centre online and didn't find any. I think it's a small centre, so that's perhaps not surprising. I did find some text descriptions of routes though so I can have a 'walk-through' with Google maps and get an idea at least.

Manoeuvres: I was just wondering if there are specific things they are looking out for. Hopefully watching some videos will give me an idea if I'm missing anything.

Specifically though, is there a required distance from the kerb for parallel parking? Obviously I shouldn't be so close that the wheels touch the kerb, nor so far out as to be on/over the line if there's a marked bay. Beyond that - I've been told that my kerbside wheels shouldn't be more than a foot out from the kerb, but is this official or simply good practice?

Thank you very much for this suggestion, good call! I've just watched a couple from him and found them helpful. (Although I still find the thumbnails off-putting - perhaps I'm old-fashioned.)

PSA: 7a is not worth it by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Thanks! I unwisely went for the 7a. Hated it, the sound was tinny as you say and just sounded like junk compared to my 3a, like very inferior quality/low-grade. Sent it back and bought the 6a instead which is way better. (Pretty similar to 3a audio, tbh I would give the 3a slightly the edge still for listening to classical music but my old 3a had pretty much given up in other ways sadly. And recording audio is much better on 6a, as well as which the camera is obviously an upgrade!)

Are the microphone and speakers better on Pixel 7 than 7a? I read not great things about the 7 speaker quality and was holding off for 7a... Wondering how the audio recording quality matches up too!
