Not a AIBU but posting shamelessly for traffic 🤣

After many many lessons and many failed tests I finally passed today! I'm over the moon and I just wanted to say to anyone who is on the same journey that I was and thinking to give up please don't! It's worth it in the end. It has been so difficult with a covid backlog to even book a test? Theory running out people making little sly digs but I did it today!!! And with only two minors!!!! Wooooo

“Posting shamelessly for traffic” did make me laugh given the content of the post! 😂

Congratulations - I passed over 25 years ago but still remember that feeling like it was yesterday 😄.

I was about to say the same, that made me smile 😄

Congratulations OP, and happy driving!

Welcome to the world of being independent, You can now get yourself anywhere in the world.
Enjoy it and use that freedom responsibly.

Congrats op :) I know the feeling as I took 2 theory tests and 6 driving tests!

It’s true what they say about really learning to drive after you pass your test.

Congratulations OP!!!

LillyLeaf · 22/02/2024 23:03

I'm learning at the moment, only about 6 lessons done so far. I do worry about the nerves on test day.

Congratulations

BobbyBiscuits · 22/02/2024 22:47

How awesome. Now, the thing is, I could really do with a lift, not far...just from Bodmin to Buenos Aires and back. Lol.
Seriously well done!

honeylulu · 22/02/2024 22:44

Well done, you must feel woohoo amazing!

It's so much harder these days (I learned 30 years ago). My son took his year last year and I was astounded at how you have to master these days plus theory too. Plus crazy backlogs for lessons and tests! And you've done it, congratulations!

honeyfox · 22/02/2024 22:39

Congratulations! It is such a big deal!

I started learning at 28, passed at 40. Bit of a gap in between but my god it's difficult and stressful 😞
