Keeping our fingers crossed.

unfortunatly not,... was all fine all the way through the test, then came to a double roundabout, he said blah blah, go straight on, so was in the middle lane to go straight over, got round the roundabout perfectly fine, exited the roundabout into the outside lane, and there was a car on the inside lane just behind me, so didnt pull in coz i was too close,. kept a steady speed at about 50, and there still wasnt enough room to pull in, so stayed in the outside lane up to the roundabout...... got back to the test centre, and he gave me a major for normal driving positioning...... Totally pissed off... I hadnt had a lesson since before christmas too, so am just gonna get another test booked, and fuck the lessons off, personally dont think i need anymore..
For anyone who knows milton keynes, it was at the double roundabout near B&Q in Bletchly

i think it was fine driving in mk, im not too fused with that, i think the instructor could off been a bit farer as there was a car on the inside lane too close, so i couldnt pull over...
i'd rather take it in mk again, as i know the roads round here...

lol in my experience he is right my mate who passed first time wrote off his moms car then blew the head on his astra blew the head on his proton and had an accident in the astra after it was repaired. Where as another freind who passed 2 years ago third time has driven without an accident....
