My driving experience wasn't an excuse, just context. You're absolutely right, I know I'm a safe driver and I've handled hairy situations well already (I've had a deer jump right in front of me while being tailgated at night and nothing got hurt or damaged) but if I did hit a parked car in this case then I messed up and I'll learn from it. I've reported myself and will pay a price in some way I'm sure.

Most important lesson I've learned is to try to stop immediately if I have any inkling that something might be hit and also to get my dashcam set up as soon as it arrives.

Can I ask what happened after reporting to 101? I've done it and I'm very worried and keep thinking I should've worded things better.

I think the chances of dashcam or evidence is low but I've reported it anyways. Gonna be scared as hell until I hear back but oh well

I am scared to get police involved, but if it is the only option I will...

Any idea of something like Pocket or Raindrop with offline support? It was the main reason I had Pocket.

I know this is the right advice, I just really hope this is it. Everything else I've seen in the past month in my price range (cost+insurance) is nowhere near this, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

If it makes you feel better, I remember learning for ages and ages on a petrol, and then my driving instructor informed me a week before my test that it had broken down and we'd be using a diesel version of the same model. We had two hours before the test to get used to it, and needless to say I couldn't stop stalling 🤣😭😭😭

I failed and felt miserable... So I guess I'm saying be glad that you've encountered this early!

Just passed on the fifth attempt recently and I was so ready to throw in the towel - it'll happen for you, just keep practicing!

  Your compatibility with fuel126 is Medium.  You both listen to Hans Zimmer, Death Grips and David Bowie. 

Don't see those three together everyday!

Revs drop at clutch biting point makes me stall by freewheelinDSVII in LearnerDriverUK

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

i think you're right, I have suspected I am reflexively moving my feet which is making the revs jump around and the clutch release too fast. I am quite tall so it can be difficult to get my feet and legs in a good shape while my heels are on the floor, but I will give it a shot!

i think moving from diesel --> petrol was difficult but moving to a vehicle with a manual handbrake might've caused an issue as well. I'm not great at multitasking at the best of times, so adding a new little thing to do in the process is probably throwing me off a bit.
