I've got my driving test this morning

[columbo83]

As the title says. I have my first shot at passing my driving test today aged 39. I've barely slept but I'm certain adrenaline will get me through. I have 2.5 hours with my instructor before. Please think positive happy thought for me haha, thanks!

Good luck! And don't worry if your driving lesson beforehand is a nightmare and goes wrong - its a good sign that you'll pass your test!

Thank you ALL so much.... my instructor will be here very soon. Thanks for sharing your stories. Reading it is helping me

Good luck op. I’m also 39 and passed 3 weeks ago. You can do this. Go smash it xx

You can do it!

Here's a tip that a driving instructor who trained driving instructors told me.
When checking your mirrors don't just move your eyes, move your head so that the instructor can actually see that you're checking your mirrors and don't just check your mirrors when you're about to manoeuvre, do it a lot, it takes a second to check all three mirrors.
Remember the instructor is looking for safety not your expertise in driving a car.
If you're doing a manoeuvre and you see a car coming or a pedestrian say it out loud so the instructor knows you've seen them.
I stalled and nudged a curb when reversing around a corner and still passed.
Good luck, let us know how you get on

Thanks all I passed first time with 4 minors

@Campervangirl I put a high ponytail in my hair as apparently they can see that moving when looking at the mirrors

That's brilliant, well done and congratulations.
