Some good news to share with you! I passed my Driving Test last Thursday (2nd June 2005). Made 3 minor mistakes and got through. I did the test at Forest Hills test centre in Southampton. Claire was my examiner and we had a good 40 mins drive around the town. I kept winging about different things about the road and conditions of traffic all along (probably attracting some pity... :P). But in the end it was a great relief to know i had passed. I have to say i have a very good and experienced driving instructor (Colin Pritchard) from the AA.

So the next step is to get a Pass Plus certificate and buy a new car.... probably going for a low insurance car.

To those wanting to learn how to drive, I strongly recommend the AA driving school. It's not that much more expensive and you get really good advice. Also, for a good review and some driving tips - try www.2pass.co.uk. It's a great web site with lots of animations, tips about driving and other stuff, which you can use to revise before going to your practical or theory test!
