Hi there (I hope that this is an okay place for this topic, I couldn’t find a driving section!),
I applied for my driving test just over a month ago and since the waits were averaging 15 weeks, I put myself down on the cancellation list, however, yesterday (Thursday the 14th of March) I got a letter inviting me for my test on Monday week (the 25th of March)!.
Initially I was going to reschedule it, but since it is very close to the cancellation deadline and there’s two weekends and a bank holiday between now and then so it probably wouldn’t get processed in time (and I’d probably end up losing my fee), I’ve decided to go ahead with it (and I checked with my instructor and he recommended that I went ahead with it since they’re so hard to get.
So now I’m nervous and panicking and just wondering what should I be doing/learning/practicing in the meantime? I’ve read that you need to be able to open the bonnet etc, is that true?
It has been 15+ years since my parents did their test and I don’t really have anyone else who has recently passed a test that I can get advice/tips from.
Obviously I’m going to squeeze in at least one more lesson (starting today) and I’ll try to practice with my parents but just want to know what else I can be doing to make sure I pass it!
Thanks in advance!
