Hi everyone, I have my driving test today and am getting a little scared! Haven't told anyone except my best friend that it's today so would appreciate some positive thoughts sent my way and a reassurance that I am NOT too old to learn new things and I CAN do this!

How old are you if you don't mind my asking? My Mum didn't learnt to drive until her late 30s and she passed first time! Sending oodles of positivity your way.

Positive Vibes going your way :)

Good luck cherrypez What time is the test?

cherrypez · 30/07/2012 11:14

I'm 36, it's at 2pm so getting closer! Really want to be independent and not have to rely on friends, trains etc, but just can't envisage actually passing :(

Do the Oprah thing...imagine a universe where you've passed...or something...

Awww - chin up OP. I didn't learn until I was 40 and it took me 3 goes to pass. Just tell yourself you'll keep going back till they get bored of you! And DO keep trying because you WILL pass.

ohcluttergotme · 30/07/2012 17:14

Aw sorry to hear that cherrypez. I didn't pass til 7th test!
Just keep going, book 2nd test ASAP x

I passed on my fourth test (4th instructor) and by then had switched to an auto! You will get there chin up Smile

LentillyFart · 30/07/2012 17:16
