Driving Test Tomorrow

[Fladdem]

It's at 9:07 or something, any last minute tips?

If it all goes well, I'll be able to carry all my bike stuff around in a 1997 Micra. One litre POWAH!!!

Wish me luck!

I'm having more fun than a well-oiled midget.

[Ste]

Have fun.

Don't crash.

Seriously though, don't stress.

I was nervous for mine until I sat in the car. The examiner will be a human being, and I felt at ease straight away.

They are not looking for the best driver in the world, just that you can deal with things competently. As you have ridden a bike, this should be no problem at all..

Lots of mirror checks when appropriate, don't forget the old sling over the shoulder for reversing, be confident, jobs a good'un.

Same as bike test. He's a sat nav. Usually a smelly fat one.

In fact. Imagines he's a pig covered in mud eating a carrot wearing a balaclava. Should help.

Best of luck. Updates by 10.

Just go for a nice safe drive. Don't rush anything. If you make a mistake then forget about it and carry on with test.

The standard for passing's pretty low, so you should be fine All I'd say is don't take any chances, examiners don't like to see you taking risks on the road.

Also keep driving carefully even if you think you've cocked up, I thought I failed early on during my test, kept driving carefully just for damage limitation then ended up passing.

Ooh one final thing, if the opportunity arises start a conversation. Sat at a rail crossing for 10mins I started chatting to the examiner about what I did, how I was getting my license for work (iirc so are you?).

A friend found the same, I think it helps them see you more as a human being, although someone else told me the first thing their examiner said to them was "I'm not gonna talk to you" so play it by ear

Good luck

First time I went for my driving test the examiner asked me what I preferred to be called.... when I said I didn't mind, he said he hated when people answered with that. He seemed a bit shitty after that, and I managed to fail somehow

[Rogerborg]

Try and lose the examiner by filtering?

Nailed it, I told him I needed it for work, before I even read MC's advice, I was talking to him about stuff.

I got 6 minors, 5 for passing parked cars too close, but three in one section two in another. I explained I ride bikes primarily, he said it explains why I think I can fit through such small gaps then.

Cool as fuck... well done

Must be a bit weird going from bikes to cars, bet it feels like you're driving a massive room on wheels.
