Ah the big day at last. After 7 lessons, 12 weeks of having my car off the road...5months later i have my 1st test!
Face a 33% pass rate + a modded car that im doing it in, so i guess at about 10% chance!
But would rather have 4 tests than 10 hours of lessons in another car to take it in that! so tomorrow ill just see how it goes
Nuts but ah well can't use my mums car due to it being auto.
ah the joys wish me luck anyway

Yes have two mirrors for the examiner he/she can move them two where they wish.
My car is something most people would dislike on here but it's just something i like. Stands out - Wide kit etc.

Only ever had 7 lessons in an insturctors car, hated the 1.2 deisels lol.
Also been driving my car since sept was out in that before i was out with anyone else. I just believe i can drive my car better than another car so thats an advantage but like i said works out the same to take 4 tests, than it does to have 10 lessons to learn in a new car.
So i picked 4 tests hopefully wont need them all

Un safe if he passes? Thats a loada shit if i ever heard it.
If he passes, then that means in the examiners eyes, he can control a car and drive on the roads properly to the UK standard.
He has had proper lessons, so i dont see why not.
Cant remember, but is it at least 6 lessons you have to have with a qualified instructor? Then all the rest can be off family/friends etc?
Good luck with your test mate!! Let us all know how it goes!
