I've got my driving test in 2 hours. Any last minute advice?

I've been reading through the show me, tell me questions but I've got to the point I can't take it in anymore.

I need to remember to take my time, focus and mirrors, mirrors, mirrors.

Any words of advice?

Good luck OP!
If the instructor says 'take the next available left', make sure it's an actual road and not someone's driveway like someone I know me did! Blush

Eat a banana just before

Good luck! Agree with PPs - have a snack beforehand and check your mirrors/blindspot all. the. time. You'll be fine!

I failed Sad

And because of stupid reasons. I know exactly what I did wrong but I was flustered and nervous.

Ah well. Next time.

What is this about a banana? Is that where I went wrong?

Aww it sucks to fail look at it as a practice test. You know what the test is like now and you are more prepared.

Good luck for the next one. Get it booked in ASAP

I'm sorry OP Flowers.
Bananas contain potassium which lowers blood pressure - I think that's right Hmm

megletthesecond · 16/10/2019 13:10

Never mind Flowers. It's a pain but there'll be another chance.

There was an entirely unscientific poll on radio 1 about how eating banana before a test works.

allthesharks · 16/10/2019 13:25

Thanks all.

It's not the end of the world. I'm in no worse position than I was this morning and there's always next time. I've rebooked already but he earliest I could get was 6 weeks time. I'm hoping there might be a cancellation before that though.

DD failed too. She's not home yet so i don't know what went wrong Sad

allthesharks · 26/11/2019 17:39

Just to update that I took my test for the se one time today and I passed!

I ate a banana before.

GeorgeTheFirst · 26/11/2019 17:41

Yay! All in the banana, obviously 😂
Well done.

TheBrilloPad · 26/11/2019 17:49

OP, this is not the sort of update I want to hear. What you're telling me is that chocolate DOESNT work, and fruit DOES?! I don't need that sort of negativity in my life. 😅

Congratulations!!

allthesharks · 26/11/2019 20:49

Oh shit, I hadn't looked at it like that @TheBrilloPad If it helps, I also had coffee beforehand.
