The biggest thing to watch is your speed, if an examiner catches you over you will fail instantly. O and to always watch your mirrors, but don't move your eyes, move your head. The test is piss. ;)

Well done Ash. Are you now going after that passion wagon Vw with the bed in the back?

[ashleyb4]

If you're after a van try this as a starter before you upgrade to a t5. Total babe-magnet and you can sleep in it at races ;)

[ben]

Well done Ash. Did they tell you only 25% of drivers pass first time? :)
Minors arent a worry.. i got 6!

[ashleyb4]

Yea dont care about how many minors lol i got my license :)

A

[blue_pinky]

Minors....I had 14 and still passed! :o

[MatJohnson]

I had zero and they failed me!!! How's that work :) (Yes, I did leave the car park)

[DCM]

You can join Ben now, in trying to understeer into hedges on some dodgy back roads in his high power roller skate :woot: :lol:

[ashleyb4]

You did something serious or dangerous lol.

Just got a card though the post off my instructor lol.

[MatJohnson]

You did something serious or dangerous lol.


Apparently, I was going to hit the car in front after a parellel park even though the steering was on full lock and the car got in there fine.

My driving instructor just said he "gayed me up" so I failed :)

[CBRDEAN0]

Minors arent a worry.. i got 6!

Minors are only a worry if you REPEAT them.
Multiple repeats of the same minor becomes a major and a fail.

[ben]

haha i got 3 for the same thing..

Corner entry speed :rolleyes:

[mw02veg]

ben vs ash whos ur money on :lol:

[ashleyb4]

Cheers Guys

Grant what are we aiming for?

Had two driving experiances since my test drove my dad's volvo yesterday around the show ground and just reversed my nan's corsa up the drive as she cant reverse up our drive for some odd reason. Deafently preffered driving the though volvo.
