I want to give some encouragement to those who have a test around the corner (and I also thought this could be a funny topic of conversation… 🫣).

For context, I passed my test a couple days ago and genuinely would’ve bet my last £500 when I pulled back into the test centre that I had failed (I passed first try!). I’d also never passed a mock test with my instructor before.

During my test, I:

• touched the examiner’s leg instead of the gear stick.
• gave way to someone on the left at a roundabout.
• touched the curb slightly during a manoeuvre but played it off as a pothole.

I genuinely believe I’m a decent driver, however nerves can get the better of you!! Hopefully this can give some motivation (and maybe some giggles) to the silent lurkers of this subreddit like myself circa last week and the weeks prior.

Good luck!

I feel like one of them would have taken the scene from Love Actually where Colin goes to America and gets lucky seriously and you know what?

They would 100% be right. That scene is accurate af.
