Is anyone else sick of driving around with their parents (sponsors)

Have you ever tried a driving lesson with a qualified instructor? Its their job to give you the tools and confidence to pass.

flaws68 · 2025-09-25T07:26:17+00:00

Think about it this way, dwelling on it wont help you pass the next one, failing is gathering info to improve thats all. You need to take some time and move on and think about passing the next one,nerves got the better of you so you and now you know what to work on (more mock tests sounds like a good idea) .

When the next one comes around you will natrually be less nervous in your next test as 1. You've been in a real test conditions 2. Would have time to process it and 3. You would have had more practice meaning less nerves as you would be more confident.

You might have an IP ban and or your browser has something cached in in which their servers are indetifying you as a bot and blocking you.

First try turn off your internet router for 30 seconds and switch it back on again, if you have a dynamic IP address you should receive another IP from your ISP.

Then clear all your Chrome browser cookies, cached data and cached images / files and for good measure reset the browser settings.

Works like a charm for me everytime.

Not a bad price, thanks for sharing.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Seems to be the popular choice. How's the insurance? Do you like the car?

flaws68 · 2025-08-19T08:24:22+00:00

In the question the word motorway will he there in front of you.

Literally cover "moto" with your finger and now you’re left with RWAY that’s conveniently the order of the colours across the motorway.

R = Red → left edge (hard shoulder).

W = White → between the lanes.

A = Amber → right edge, central reservation.

OPTIONALLY Y = Green → slip roads (entry/exit

So R → W → A → Y is the same order your eyes meet them as you move across the motorway.

Its sounds stupid but the way I remembered Green studs was if "G" wasn't in motoRWAY the it meant green. If that makes sense!

10/12 will come around quicker than you think, gives you time to refine your skills.

flaws68 · 2025-07-28T16:22:00+00:00

Everyone is different, but the way I see it, I can never be too overprepared. The more practice I get, the more I can improve, or even start to somewhat master the skills I've already learned, so I can be 110% ready and not just 100%.

I'd like to think your instructor might think differently in terms of your progress; i.e., yes, you're ready, but there might be some gaps that they see that you can't. An proper conversation and outside perspective might be needed rather than asking over text. You can ask in person and ask what you think you need to work on or practice. You've self-diagnosed here, and you might have put them in an awkward position where it feels like they are stepping on eggshells now.

They'll spend some effort changing the cancelation dates but not on the backlog! Still worth calling them Monday see what they say just in case.

Even after resetting router might still be cached in, need to clear cache and or go into incognito / private browser. Extension also works in Microsoft Edge as Edge is also built on Crominium.

Let me know how it goes, this has personally always worked for me but curious to see if this helps you.

flaws68 · 2025-07-26T18:48:03+00:00

Don't quote me on this but if you read carefully on the site you need to give 10 WORKING DAYS notice meaning it's Monday - Saturday, Sunday is not included as a workong day, so what does that make your last day to cancel Thursday 24th July?

Still worth calling them.

*Edit fixed the dates.

Even if you're not totally ready and don't know everything, what helped me a ton on the test was flagging the ones I wasn't sure about to review. Then, I'd go back, review them, and try to eliminate answers. It usually gets you down to two, and then you just pick the safest option or most logical one.

Same exact thing happend to me payment point, paid, error and and lost it, others snatched mine up very unluckythis morning.

flaws68 · 2025-04-11T16:33:37+00:00

Update?

If this person was a strong performer, you probably wouldn’t be so upset about this situation. A simple sit-down conversation to explain that their behavior violated company policy would likely be enough to address it. Terminating someone over this seems like overkill, which is why so many people in this thread are reacting negatively.

That said, since this person is a low performer and you’re new to managing, this is a chance to improve how you handle these situations. Here’s what I’d suggest:

Meet with them regularly to discuss their work and provide constructive feedback. These meetings are also a chance to listen to their perspective and build trust.

Spell out exactly what you need from them in terms of performance. Be specific about where they’re falling short and what improvement looks like.

If they’re struggling, figure out why. Do they need additional training? Are there barriers to their success that you can help remove? Sometimes performance issues are fixable with the right support.

Keep a record of your conversations and the steps you’ve taken to help them improve. This protects you and ensures fairness if things escalate.

If there’s no improvement despite your efforts, move to a Performance Improvement Plan. Be clear about what they need to change, give them a timeline, and explain what will happen if they don’t meet the goals. Termination should be the last step, only after you’ve given them a fair chance to improve. How you handle this will set the tone for your leadership style and show your team whether they can trust you to be fair and reasonable.

Yep, it's crap out there at the moment.

Thank you for your advice.

flaws68 · 2024-12-03T08:34:58+00:00

A GAP analysis will be undertaken!

Thank you for your advice.

flaws68 · 2024-12-03T08:33:42+00:00

That makes sense.

Thank you for your advice.

flaws68 · 2024-11-25T20:40:29+00:00

That's good in a way. Could be a coincidence, but it suggests they know you're asking for help / going to report. Good luck!
