Yep, Tuesday the 1st will either be a very good or a very very bad day. It's my second time, last time I got a major for observation at a roundabout, I didn't think it was bad (and I was about 100 yards from the test centre, on my way back with only 1 minor!!!).
Doing it in my own car (a corsa!).
11.41 is the time.
Wish me luck, I'm pretty scared of the maneavres -- can't face waiting 3 months for another test...

If you can't get it right for half an hour then a fail is no bad result.

Yeah true about getting it right for 30 mins or whatever, but it is one of the most nerve racking things ever, and also there are some pretty shit and unpredictable drivers on the uk roads.

45 minutes then.

You don't need luck. Your insurance won't come down if you tell them that you're lucky.

Just drive well, look out for stuff and don't crash. Easy.

Yeah, hence why the test shouldn't be a walk in the park.

Nice 1 mate what where the minors for?

I got 1 for not overtaking a Bimmer soon enough!

Just to clarify the above a test can be between 30 and 45 mins depending on the route taken by the examiner and also factors such as traffic etc if you pick up a few minors early on though you are more likely to have to drive for the extra 15 mins, hence why mine was only 30ish mins

1.Signalling when I didn't need to -- a parked car on my side of the road, i signalled to go round it when no-one would benefit.
2.Not signalling -- there is a road that is a no entry straight ahead and that Ts off the to left. I didn't signal left. Don't see the point when everyone knows I can't go straight ahead.
3.Incorrect use of gears -- we went down some dogdy road that I've never seen before, I went round a corner in 3rd and the car wouldn't pull out so I went to 2nd, he said I should've changed down before the bend...
