Absolutely gutted, great drive then 10 mins away from the centre I was at a roundabout, person across from me went and was going straight on so I thought great there’s my blocker and just as I went, the person next to me flew out which the person across had to emergency stop and before I braked the examiner beat me to it.
I think what makes it worse is I got zero driving faults. Even when I knew it was game over I didn’t let it snowball despite tears rolling down my face lols.
I’ve had a good ol’ pity party, tomorrows a new day and suppose just look for cancellations!

I wear glasses on my lessons, never had any problems but now I’m overthinking what happens on test day if I can’t read the number plate? I know it’s an instant fail but now I’m panicking if I can’t see/ make out the number/ letters out of pure nerves

I have my test booked for October, just wondering if anyone can shed light on what the sale, Manchester test is like? And if you can give any tips please!

I’m jumping the gun a bit because my test isn’t until October but I thought il look around.
My question is, is leasing a car a good idea for a first car or is it better to buy?

I’ve basically lived off the site for 10 days and this morning I found an October date (which I wanted) instead of 8th December.
It feels painful doing it daily but if you really want to change your date it’s worth it!

I had my 4th lesson today (no prior experience) and I feel like I’m going into self sabotage mode of ‘I can’t do this, I should just give up’.
I have a great instructor, he’s got patience of a saint and we have a laugh. He said I’m picking it up quickly but we need to work on my confidence.
I feel every lesson I’m getting into the car like it’s my first lesson, I see a car and I immediately tense up lols.
We’ve agreed from next week for me to try doing 2 one hour lessons a week (Monday and Thursdays) because I feel it’ll help doing more than just once a week and he agreed and see how it goes.
Does anyone have any tips to be more confident and ‘back yourself’ that you can do this?
Sorry for the ramble

Today I’ve got my 3rd lesson, I’ve been doing 1.5hrs every Monday. I am thinking of doing 2x 1.5hr lessons, is this a good idea?
Note- money will run out quicker so I may have 2 week gap in August.
Also, I have my theory test tomorrow so any advice will be much appreciated!
