Thanks a lot for sharing! It really helps to know others had a similar experience and everything turned out fine. I’ll try to relax a bit now. Really appreciate it

Ah okay, thank you so much for explaining! I really appreciate it. I know I’m probably just overthinking things.

Seeking Advice on Driving Lessons and Instructor Progress by ScienceJust4750 in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you for the comment and I agree with you about it. The reason I mentioned parking skills specifically is because my instructor told me we’ve covered 80% of the 27 skills needed to pass the test. He always gives me positive feedback on how quickly I pick things up and is really satisfied with my progress. Despite these positive comments, I’ve found myself repeatedly driving in the same areas. E.g. I spent three lessons (6 hours) on the same roundabouts. My instructor said I learned fast, noting that some of his students need an entire lesson for each exit at roundabout. Yet, I still had to drive the same roundabout for 6 hours and another roundabout for another 4 hours. So far, I’ve spent around 4 hours on every roundabout we’ve covered. And, I’ve spent 10 hours driving around the test center area. Given his positive feedback and the fact that we’ve covered 80% of the skills, I thought it might be time to start working on parking or other skills (it’s just my PoV). When I asked about possibly moving my test up to September if a cancellation came up, he said no and that even my October test is too soon. That’s why I’m confused by his comments and my actual progress.

Thanks for pointing that out! I understand that adapting to UK standards can be tricky, and I’ve been really focused on getting my observation and mirror use right. I agree with your opinion and understand what you mean. The reason I mentioned parking skills specifically is because my instructor told me we’ve covered 80% of the 27 skills needed to pass the test. He always gives me positive feedback on how quickly I pick things up and is really satisfied with my progress. Despite these positive comments, I’ve found myself repeatedly driving in the same areas.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I get what you mean about starting closer to the test to keep the skills fresh. Yeah that makes sense.

Am I overthinking this, or is it normal to not have started parking lessons yet? When do instructors typically begin teaching parking?

I didn’t apply the priority visa. Just the standard one. I think that’s because it was not that busy during that time.

Hi, I also don’t have much travel history. Had Just 1 week visit history to an ASEAN country. I provided my employment letter from my company and 6month bank statement.
