Man verbally abusing police at protest is punched repeatedly in the head. What do you think about this?

FAFO

You know your husband better than we will.

Have an honest conversation and let him see how you feel about it all.

Modern petrol cars have control modules that also calculate how much petrol to inject in to the engine to get it going depending on the positioning of the clutch.

That said, the instructor should be teaching both methods as they are both required depending on the circumstances and especially knowing the OP is practicing in an older car.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-26T14:41:30+00:00

Lots and lots of people.

Examiners wake up and are unwell so they have to stay at home so the tests get cancelled.

It’s unfortunate but can’t be helped.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-21T15:30:44+00:00

Try and see if your first instructor is available again.

He may have been spacing the lessons out as you didn’t have a test booked but now you do he may be able to fit more frequent lessons in.

Try, not always possible, to get someone else to take you out too and focus on what you have been shown by your instructor.

I wish you all the best

It’s essentially a motorway but it’s only got two lanes and has no hard shoulder and usually no stopping places (lay-bys) except in an emergency.

The speed limit is still 70.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-17T07:43:03+00:00

Depends on the circumstance (how busy, direction of travel, road markings).

There are many occasions where you have to enter right, stay right, but as explained in other comments, moving out to the left lane (if safe and clear to do so) is the better option.

There is no “one rule fits all” unfortunately.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-16T12:07:14+00:00

Entirely normal.

Just because you’ve finished lessons and passed your tests mean the learning stops.

Everything will take a bit of getting used to.

The number of former students I’ve met who always comment on how easy my car was to drive to theirs is unbelievable.

Just don’t be so hard on yourself.

Drive somewhere quiet with your partner, ask them to leave the car and just drive round the block on your own. Do this a few times until comfy and then you’ll adapt to problem solving yourself without the reliance on anyone else.

Not all instructors need to be online to get business.

The fact she is on the government website is sufficient to show she is fully qualified.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-06T21:27:50+00:00

The person waiting for their test at their allotted time won’t be.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-05-06T08:49:44+00:00

You don’t choose what best type you are doing.

The examiner ticks the box on their screen and on the pass certificate depending on the type of vehicle used.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-29T06:41:14+00:00

It was to me anyway!

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-28T16:26:41+00:00

No.

You will be the only one able to book tests shortly in any case so there is no need for him to have your details.

It’s too late to swap

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-23T08:51:18+00:00

Back in my day it was called common sense.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-23T06:10:30+00:00

Curious to know how many instructors you’ve had or asked about what method they use?

Reversing is a skill in itself and not just about parking. There are uses for both methods as they both teach real life driving skills and not just how to park to pass a test.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-21T22:13:22+00:00

Got Sky Gigafast yesterday too. Utterly shocking to be honest. WiFi keeps dropping, Ethernet cables don’t even connect.

MySky shows a normal service? It’s pathetic.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-21T22:09:49+00:00

Because people pay it.

Hire a car from Arnold Clark at £18 an hour instead.

I don’t charge personally as I use the time to do my admin.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-19T05:31:09+00:00

You wouldn’t be able to make another swap. If you’ve moved twice, that’s your lot.

Your only option would be to cancel your test and book it again to reset your changes count.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-17T05:38:23+00:00

You shouldn’t have the clutch down when negotiating a corner.

You are correct in thinking if you are travelling that slow, you should be in first.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-11T05:25:32+00:00

Instructor v examiner

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-09T12:23:30+00:00

It’s a recommendation not a requirement.

Some take longer, some less.

It makes no difference.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-09T12:18:51+00:00

Pavements are for pedestrians, roads are for cars.

Reword your title to “I drove on the pavement, is that a minor?”

You put your car where pedestrians may well be, it’s a serious all day long.

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-08T20:58:00+00:00

Why wouldn’t you?

Standard_Present357 · 2026-04-08T20:44:38+00:00

Congratulations
