and besides the fact that i still cannot drive, i feel sick at the thought of how much money this is costing me i mean im not exaclty rich, and im supposed to be saving up for travelling this summer so spending 50 quid for a 2 hour lesson each week and then £156 a test.....NOTGOOD!!!
my problem is that i panic, and i wish i wouldnt. i have rebooked another for april but i am just so upset and embaressed more than anything that its taking me this long....this will be my 5th test

Maybe you should take some more lessons, explain to your instructor what the issue your having while doing your test, and s/he will help you overcome it.
Good luck though! Try not to worry about the past exams.
Try Bach's Calm remedy next time it might help you to relax a little
:yes:
Also, I had my instructor in the car when I passed, which did help. Even if I hadn't passed, it would have been useful, as he would have been there, so been able to give me advice on where I went wrong.
ive been driving for 5 years now and have 5 years no claims and consider myself a brilliant driver (when i'm not twatting around)
keep at it
good luck next time.
:yes: i got three minors and a major on my second test and then passed my third.
you didnt fail by much so it shows you're not terrible. you'll get there!
its 56.50 for the test, but it costs me 50quid to have the car aswell for 2 hours. bad times
thanks for everyones advice!!! made me feel bit better, at least ive stopped crying now lol.
please clarify, did you have to pay your instructor the privilege of using his car for the test? if so that sucks!
Of course you do... time taken up by you doing your test is time that the vehicle can't be used on fee-paying lessons. No instructor is going to give it away for free...
We had to use our own car and the first part of the test was to make sure all the lights and stuff worked. If a headlight was out you couldn't even take the test
Nope. Technically it is considered unroadworthy to be driving with a light out. Which is fair enough really, 'cos you are one blown bulb away from driving around with no headlights (for example).
Of course, that doesn't stop people over here from doing so. In fact I saw two cars with only one headlight / broken lights just on the way home last night.
No way!
I was the same....must have been the test area ; )
Of course you do.
Its his/her petrol and they are losing money they could be earning on a lesson if someone is using their car.
Huh? Should I be taking offence?
having said that, the first test i ever took was with a moron instructor. and he failed to tell me that i had to pay for having the car for 2 hours...and ill be damned if i corrected him!
