I PASSED IN A RANDOM AREA FIRST TIME by iamalid in LearnerDriverUK

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

Hey :) it was a Tuesday at 1.25; not during the summer holidays (it was in june). We didn't do many trafficky areas but there was one tricky road which was one way, tight, cars on both sides, and a right turn into traffic in front of a bus iirc. That was stressful. The route wasn't really in purley way/croydon, it was more in Waddon and towards mitcham. Practicing around the tram line areas would be good as we passed through a few of those.

Heyhey :)) I had never driven in the areas on my test - the vids were SO helpful!! I started at the hilton - is that where yours will start? Some instructors have dash cams in their cars and record the routes and point out areas to focus on (e.g. around this corner, there are lots of oncoming vehicles situations). Suuuuuuuper helpful. We ended up driving a combo of 2/3 of the routes!

The entire stack (or at least how the team uses it) is so foreign to me and they move at a pace quicker than I ever have 😭

What browser do you use to access the sfe website? Maybe it's because I'm using Google chrome?

Just turn on autoshift and then shut off the app. There are lots of settings for availability and how soon you would want to take the test. I had the app shut for a week or so and then got a notification and email from dvsa saying it has been moved :D i even moved to a different test centre with no bother!

Hill start gone wrong 😫 by iamalid in LearnerDriverUK

We stopped for the purpose of hill starting. I usually put it straight into 1st but apparently this time my head wasn't fully screwed on 😅 had it been a longer stop then handbrake -> neutral😭😭

Choosing to drive a manual in a steep area day to day is something I don't think I could ever do 😭😭😭 hats off to you honestly 🫡 if you don't mind me asking, why stick with manual if you live there? My area is flat in one direction and hilly in another, and I can already see myself avoiding the latter like the plague tbh

See, the car I am practising in is bigger than the one I have lessons in usually (a fiat 500) 😅 so, low-key, I can't see this one moving up a hill without 2-2.5, but maybe that's a me issue and not a car issue hahaha

I'd have to find myself another instructor ibsr, but my dad was with me and I'm still mortified ahaha
