I started another thread earlier about how I'm all doom and gloom regarding my test coming up.

I realise I just need to hear some uplifting stories of people passing their test, especially when they didn't think they would.

Please help life my spirits and confidence 🙏

I was trying to pass before starting to train as a teacher so only ended up having 29 lessons with no car to practice in in between lessons. I also grew up without either parent driving so had no natural affinity to or knowledge of driving. I basically did the whole test thinking I wouldn’t pass and I think it helped me to relax! I ended up passing first time and I even stall it on the way back into the test centre but just got 2 minors as I dealt with it appropriately. I got 8 minors overall. I was over the moon!

Amazing.

I'm similar in that neither of my parents could drive. I was 41 the first time I sat behind the wheel!! Amd I have no car to practice in either....

This gives me hope. Thank you

Hi! I didn't think I was ready for my test, even though I had so many lessons over the years but I passed first time with two minors. You can do this- good luck!
