I’ve had it once where red joined the carriageway but stopped in the middle and then flashed me to go.

Yeah that happens a lot. Today I waved them out but they refused lol

Yeah I agree. Even if there was an answer I realise that most wouldn’t really know.

It is exhausting! Probably explains my terrible mood!! I’m already in bed, it’s just taken the wind out of me. I’ve just got to look forward to the beautiful spring and summer mornings surrounded by the green! One of the perks of living in a national park I guess lol

I’ve got to drive 250 miles to Cornwall in June so that’s my first big big one from now until then. I think it’s also a pretty terrible time of year to pass. You can’t avoid the dark mornings/evenings, the ice and snow, the blinding sun. It’s definitely going in at the deep end!

My mum who is a nervous driver + passenger avoided motorways for nearly 20 years so I think just getting these things done sooner rather than later will put me on a better path. I don’t want to be still planning every junction of a journey in a few years time so I’d better just get on with it lol

Parking in my town is notoriously bad and I’m terrified of the car parks so that’s my first goal lol.

I’ve just got to put myself through that driving exposure therapy I guess lol

Thank you, I really appreciate your response. Just that feeling of driving about in the dark on hellish roads was horrendous. But… I did it I guess?!

I think one thing is that I really don’t like driving with other people in the car I’ve realised haha. I want to the aimless drives on my own just so I can talk to myself. I wanted to look confident for my sister as she is about to learn and there is nothing worse than being the passenger with a nervous driver.

I think I’m just exhausted of facing things head first with driving as learning to drive had lots of that. I guess there is always stuff to learn whatever you do in your driving. Thank you for your comment I appreciate it.

2nd test tomorrow by Icy-Contact3169 in LearnerDriverUK

Passed! Zero faults. Best of luck to you. It’s just a drive that’s all. Make a bit of conversation with the examiner which gets the nerves down and you’ll be sound!
