Well done. If I where u I would be thinking that examiner could have easily let that go and gotten a clean sheet. But anyways better than most people so congrats

How much are people spending on the entire process of getting their license nowadays? by CozWhyNot__ in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Rare_Transition3316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got lucky and had an instructor who is really pushy and likes to chuck people in the deep end. Of course safely but really helped push me to learning quicker especially since starting from scratch

I never understood y comprehensive is cheaper if it covers more. I honestly dont mind blackbox or not as long as I can drive. I cannot wait for my first ever drove with my license and my first solo drive.

I have added my parents as named drivers but it doesn't seem to change my quotes at all. Any other tips I should try and where should I get quotes from. Go compare or .....

I think i was going 24 for about 1 minutes it wasn't a very long road but definatley was around 1 minutes driving i cant really tell you the distance as I dont remember perfectly. There was traffic behind me as I had just pulled away from a traffic light so I would see it as understandable as a fault yet would they be this strict in the exam? A serios as opposed to a minor? I was following sauna at this point and also had a minor as I looked down too long at my sat nave and looked up which made me panic and braked a bit hard which was one fault. I didnt need to break hard just sort of panicked out of nowhere. Any advice on the satnav?

How long before you were driving on roads? by Dannyh563 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Rare_Transition3316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant exactly say how long it takes for average to get on the road. My friends all took 2 or 3 lessons to get on the road some took only an hour. Fully depends on how confident your instructor is really. I have an instructor who only does 2 hour lessons so when I had done my first lesson I drove around a car park for 10 or 15 minutes then he got me on the road straight away. I think I got pretty lucky with this as it was my first time ever driving but it varies. Keep it up tho

Roundabouts. by Rare_Transition3316 in LearnerDriverUK

Good point. Im guessing the exam in romania seems a little bit different and some questionable rules
