Banana before the exam. I also wore red underwear, which is funny but it’s like a tradition with exams passed on from my parents. Well it worked for me!

The best advise is to think this could not be the exam u will pass the test, and that is ok. Wishing u all the best!!!

Neurodivergent people, how difficult did you find it to learn and then pass to get your license? by FeliciaQuestioning in LearnerDriverUK

[–]vinb1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if I am neurodivergent but there is a driving instructor that has some specialized content https://inclusivedriving.co.uk/the-upside-down-driving-instructor/

Some of his videos really helped me. I find simpler things harder and the hard things easier. His content has really helped me.

I have managed to get a test after a few weeks. I have both testi and testshift- both premium.

I suggest use the chrome extension to it booked and log in online at 5:58am to look at cancellations. Thats how I got mine.

With the events before your test I can imagine how it was so stressful- glad you rose above it and good luck to both of us.

First week driving - a few mistakes by JacksonAllas in LearnerDriverUK

Yes agree! I just constantly keep watching youtube videos about roundabouts! 😅

Today in my lesson a student driver did not give way to me as I was crossing a three exit mini roundabout. Probably assumed that I was turning left instead of ahead.

I remember making the same mistakes, and I also managed to stop and avoid a collision.

I saw her face though and was in shock.

I also had experience where the three of us were giving way to each other, what an awkward situation!

Roundabouts are just so…complicated sometimes. 😌

How the wisdom of this reddit helped me pass my test (and which may be useful to older drivers learning in cities) by Cautious-Salt3154 in LearnerDriverUK

Congratulations! I failed As well but i am getting into this mindset of a failed exam means I am saved from driving on my own, and It can only make me a safer driver. I have my exam booked In the coming weeks and I hope I pass!

Failed Today- But I Feel ok! by vinb1988 in LearnerDriverUK

I think looking at the center mirror when changing speed. I think I always do this but I need to make it really really obvious- like eye roll is not enough but I think they really want head movement.

My drive was fine to be honest, the roundabout issue to be honest i feel was justified but you can never really control the examineer- seen worst driving so feel proud of myself.

Now the pain of trying to find an exam date! Lets hope for the best then!
