    Remember they tell every learner that to boost their confidence on the road

    But in all seriousness, good luck buddy! being able to drive is one of the best things possible

    Being able to drive and being a good driver are two hugely different things.... good luck though

    when i learnt, they kept telling me not to hit the bloke carrying the red flag, so at least things have improved..

    Are you planning to wear a short skirt for your test?

    Couldn't agree more! I had my first lesson a couple of weeks ago and almost went into a telegraph pole, i'd panicked and instead of steering had put my foot down on the accelerator. Scared the life out of me.

    My little sister did the same on one of her earlier lessons, driving on a back lane, the corner came up to fast and she panicked and pressed the wrong pedal, made a nice scrape across the front of her bumper.

    a school friends brother was being taught by his mum, who was an evil psycho school teacher bitch, and as they approached a bend, there was a tractor coming the other way, about 200yds away, and she yelled at him to watch the tractor, so he did, instead of watching where he was going, drove straight on, up a bank & stuck the car on its roof.. it happened right outside my dads house.. the lad gave up driving, and is now a missionary....

    good luck mate,from my experience the only advice i could give you is just try and make the instructor/examiner feel safe and comfortable in the car with you behind the wheel ,you should be alright mate good luck.

    The best way is to get into the learners routine and it will all fall into place. Once you are comfortable controlling the car the rest is all straight forward.
