Driving test tomorrow! (UK)
Hey pit monkies, long time no time.
As things turn out, I have my practical driving test tomorrow, any tips and advice? Not sure how confident I should be because I pretty much came back from uni last week (i.e. coming back from 2 months of no driving at all), and then did about 8 driving lessons in the space of 8 days to try and re-learn. In short, I'm going to try and pass my driving test tomorrow, so hit me up with all your wisdom! ![]()

If you need our help then you probably suck at driving.

i failed my first time , about to resit. You might get unlucky like i did and come across a situation you haven't dealt with before. I guess yu just need to stay calm , you are less likely to make mistakes.
And take your time. If you do an emergency stop do your mirror checks before you change to first and then check again before you set off , kill some time. |

I passed my test 6 years ago so the whole procedure has probably changed since I did it.
My advice to you... Don't crash the car and you'll be fine.

I'd advise you to ALWAYS drive on the right side of the road. Just saying.

or left side in our case :P I failed first time. My girlfriend doing hers next week. No matter how well you can drive you can still fail. It's almost luck of the draw. Keep relaxed but be alert. In the last 20 seconds of my test on the roundabout to the test centre a boy racer undertook someone on the roundabout as I was pulling out and if I didn't react as well as I did I would of failed.

I failed first time and didn't have time to try again. I failed because an old lady was stood about ten metres away from a crossing, not even looking at it, and I drive across it which apparently was dangerous in some way.
You're more likely to fail because of some bullshit like that than being a bad driver, so just keep your wits about you and be careful. |

In the UK, the "right" (or correct) side to drive on is the left, yes. In the US, the right side to drive on is the right. 'Twas a play on words, my good man! |

I barely passed mine. I scored the exact amount of points needed to pass. So if I missed exactly one point I would've failed. I think I got a bit nervous and forgot to do somethings I reminded myself to do. So don't get nervous!
If you do get nervous, pull out a huge bottle of liquor and ask the teacher if he/she wants some. You know, just to break the ice.

Here's a little know tit bit for you.
If you do your test on a Friday, you get double points if you drive on the right and hit someone walking with a zimmer frame. |

Get in the car, drive where the man/woman says, get out of the car, get your pass certificate.
It's really not that hard

Pee before you drive, don't crash. And don't hit the curb when you're turning in the road. You might kill someone or some shit.
I got wheelspin going onto a roundabout on mine, only got a minor for it. Thought I'd failed for sure. And the drummer in my band booked his test at the wrong centre, he didn't have any of the knowledge of the roads, and somehow still passed. Best of luck to you sir!

BE CONFIDENT!
I passed in 14 lessons + 40 minutes before my test, with 2 minors and no prior driving experience! Keeping calm and confident are the most important, as I was nearly hit by a woman on her phone, but moved and braked just in time for her to panic and stall! I swear to god, I've never been more panic'ed for those few seconds, but I got on with it, remained calm after a bit of the 'eye opening' situation and passed!

Right okay..since nobody else is really giving any good advice i will.
1. Turn the radio off. 2. Open the window on your side slightly. Air is good. 3. Don't forget to REALLY look at your mirrors. Make it really obvious. 4. If you think you have failed dont just stop trying your best.. When I passed, I REALLY thought I had failed. In the end i only got six minors. Pretty much it.

Drive carefully but don't hesitate because they'll screw you for that too. Just do what they say to the best of your ability and you'll be fine.
As mentioned, check your mirrors before pretty much everything. |
