I have failed two tests already, one with a few extra grade 2s for stupid mistakes and the other for a complete disaster, trusted an indicator at a roundabout and literally forgot how to drive.

The nerves get me in this situation, all pre tests are done in my own car with a very picky retired tester and all are spot on driving wise.

The thing is the car I am using for the tests is a Sportage so a fairly big car.

Would it be worth getting a few lessons in a smaller car and hiring it out for the test ? Just thinking "I can do this in a bigger car" , might take some of the nerves away ?

Anyone done and failed in their own yoke decided to hire for subsequent tests? Or is the money better spent doing them in my own car with current instructor?

Hi all,

The mod team have decided to lock all threads on the death of Yves Sakila due to, speculation on what is a live investigation and the comments on the current open threads descending into arguments around issues which have feck all to do with this man's death.

As this story is still breaking, we are also taking this action to protect the sub from brigading attempts from bad actors as no doubt this will be an international news story by evening.

Future threads may be posted if they contain meaningful updates but may be locked.

On the 27th of May we will be welcoming People Before Profit/Solidarity TD Paul Murphy on for our next AMA.

We will open the question thread on the evening on the 26th and Paul will be joining us in the late afternoon for a few hours to answer any questions you may have.
