Did pretty well..

Got 5 minors for mirrors though which goes into a serious.
Otherwise I'd have passed.
Oh well..time to rebook I think. Might try a different instructor.

Gutted mate!
You can't blame your instructor for that.
You just have make it overly obvious that you're checking them

I was using them, I just used the wrong one.
Im not blaming my instructor.
I just dont wanna wait for him to come back from holiday so I can have my test.

Nothing to lose tbh plus he's £23 a lesson and I can get lessons for £17.

You get what you pay for... I paid for a cheap instructor and he were crap, I paid over the odds and he had me passed in a matter of a month...

I don't want an instructor. I just want the car to use on the test.

I got 1 minor for move off-safety

and I got 5 minors=1 serious for mirrors

and I got only one other minor, for using signals incorrectly.

No minors for use of speed or maneouvres. And I had 1 minor for road positioning-normal driving. I'd say I did well tbh
