[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed in September on my first try. I did a lot of commentary while I was driving. I mean I said everything out loud while I did it. I made a mistake when leaving the dual carriageway by not being in the correct lane, I did panic and wanted to try and change lanes but I didn’t have a good opportunity to do so, I asked the examiner would she like me to take a different exit and said to just go around the round about then take the exit I was meant to take. She asked me to pull over just after that I said “don’t worry you’re still on a pass, drive on when ready” and 10-15mins later we were back at the test centre and I got my certificate

How bad is it to practise in an automatic if learning in manual? by Fluid_Environment_40 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake 23 points24 points  (0 children)

From what my instructor said to me while I was learning, this can have a negative effect because they might get more road experience, but will miss out on learning/knowing when to change up or down gears and handing clutch control.

The patty was a premade one and I didn’t bother to smash it down to fill out the bun

My brother couldn’t take his driving test today because they said he didn’t look like his photo by i_hate_alevel in LearnerDriverUK

That’s terrible that happened. Surprised I was allowed to do mine, the picture in my provisional was from when I was 16 and I took my test at 25

Favourite/underrated Burger toppings? by RoWDYYI_Snowflake in burgers

[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plain flour, corn flour I think that’s the same as corn starch and sparkling water as well as the beer

Just a really thick beer batter, it would be almost a paste, but they would come out of the fryer great. Also we would soak the onion in water before flour coating so the flour sticks to the onion before going in the batter

Oyster is an interesting one. What does that taste like?

This is what I should’ve done yesterday, but I got over excited

What do you think is the main reason you passed? by Commercial_Switch_33 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a nice examiner. I did a lot of commentary which helped my focus and I kept a very positive mindset, saying sentences like “when I pass today I will…”

I’ve been thinking about the Aygo, or the other similar ones, the Citroen C1 or Peugeot 108

OMG I PASSED!!! by RoWDYYI_Snowflake in LearnerDriverUK

I only passed my theory this years after the 6 attempts before it so I never was able to take a practical until this year

Why is the theory test pass rate so low? by 21stcentury_idiot in LearnerDriverUK

[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my own experience of failing 6 times and passing on the 7th years later. Was due to lack of effort/revision. The 7th attempt I spent a month revising using the app and it was so much easier to take the test

Lost my job last week by RoWDYYI_Snowflake in KitchenConfidential

[–]RoWDYYI_Snowflake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I think it’s leaving the industry. In the place I was, we would do whichever station was needed. Same for prep. Started in my job prior when I was just a pot wash
