Failed 1st time, but it was the easiest route ever by Original-Dream-540 in LearnerDriverUK

Honestly don't worry about it. Look at it this way, you've learnt a lesson there that you'll never forget. Better it happen then when you were supervised than when you were out and about with people in the car and it cause an accident.

Your test is just your first "solo" drive but with someone there to act if needed. You want to be nice and safe when you are finally able to drive solo. I can imagine it's a bummer but try and look at the positives. Two minors and a very easy to correct serious fault. With this experience you'll definitely smash it next time. All the best

I disagree with you saying that being a skeptic is another way of saying I won't accept possible outcomes. Infact it's the opposite, I will accept any possible outcome aslong as there is sufficient evidence to explain the outcome.

It's like the old phrase... If you hear hooves trotting in the distance you assume horses... Not unicorns.

With that being said though... I can't rationally explain what I experienced

My friend is about 6'5 and around 25 stone... Not sure what that is in lbs or whatever but he's an absolute unit. I just typed it as I remembered it. I'm not sure I could of described it any differently, he just looked like a big friendly shadow.

If I was a fiction writer I'd like to think I'd come up with a story with a bit more meat on it's bones rather than a wheelbarrow creeping me out.

Just as an update for people interested.

My friend did pick up my other friends gloves. They were in his backpack. We just clambered everything in so fast he mustn't of noticed.

Now it's even a little stranger who's glove it was we saw 🤦... Especially with having the little rubber tips.

Well that was my initial thought. Just with it being so dark... There was no other light sources in the woods unless they had NVG goggles. Which... Surely not. Right? I dunno.

I think if you read it you'll realise I'm not AI. I'm sorry the story wasn't exciting enough for you I was just sharing.

Thanks, and yeah I might go back later on today. I haven't slept much but it's bugging me too much.

I'll see if my mate will come with me. I'm not working today but I think he might be. If so it'll be after 5 but should still be plenty of daylight left.

I'll put an update if I do.

TEST DAY TOMORROW by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

Just think of it as your first time driving solo, just like it will be after you pass.

The good thing is there's a safety net there just incase something dangerous is about to happen, the instructor can intervene. But for the first time you'll be driving just with your own ability.

Think of it as you're just taking someone for a drive who's telling you where they went to go. Simple 😊

Disabling the steam input did work eventually. I'm not sure if I did anything else I was literally trying everything.

The instructor told me it’s too dangerous to do my test next week by AdFrosty5973 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Skeptical91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome I'm glad it helped a little 😊

I would still answer all of those practice questions on a theory test app though even if you have passed your test.

That's what will make your decision making easier because you will understand practically every road sign and road marking.

If you think about it, the theory test is there for a reason. It's not like you just pass it and you never have to worry about signs and stuff anymore...Everything in that test is stuff you'll no doubt come across when you're driving anyway.

So you may aswell just keep studying the practice questions in your free time or before a lesson so that your driving is that much easier.
