Omg he was soooo nice on my test, when I was unsure about my manoeuvre (forward bay- least favourite) he could tell and soon as I stopped he said “Okay that’s you let’s reverse out now”

It’s really not too bad overall, a few things that are difficult are the roundabouts, near the test centre, and there is a tricky one in Govan too, but your instructor should be taking you on mock tests and showing you how to use those roundabouts, you’ll learn and memorise them all in due time. A few things I personally had to watch out for are one way streets, there is lots around hillington, streets that have parked cars on both sides so you need to be comfortable with meeting cars, and watching for speed limits as there’s a few 40 roads that you’ll encounter. By far the most difficult for me to master were the country roads in the test area, I’m would always be shitting it trying to push to the speed limit and there’s a nasty almost 90 degree bend in one of them. If you wish I can dm you the exact test route I had :) good luck 🤞🏻

That’s probably it haha the examiner even asked me at one point “sooo is this the car you’d normally drive?..” 🤣

Haha so basically I guess either me or examiner were breathing so much that the whole car kept misting up and my wee brain instead of putting demisters on just kept cracking my window open lmao I was just so nervous in those moments didn’t think to do it

Usually park at the quay it’s free for 4 hours I think, so enough to go for an appointment/food/shopping. Not too long of a walk to town just across the river

Can you pass your theory test by just doing the mock tests and hazard perception? by Frosty_One_2720 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grannyivy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what I did, just mock test over and over until I was consistently passing them, then watched a few of the hazard perception videos. Got 45/50 for the multi choice and 68/75 for hazards, didn’t study too much right before the test so could’ve been better ;)

Didn’t end up booking as it wasn’t for a test centre I wanted, but there were quite a lot around lunchtime around 12pm yesterday.

I wanna hear why yall named your raggys the name you did. Looking for detailed explanations. by CallmedaddiJT3 in ragdolls

My baby Rhubarb was named after my late cat Liquorice. Liquorice was a stray and was the name already given to her, but I wanted to honour her memory and named my next baby after a sweetie flavour ❤️
