has anyone got any funny stories about their driving test ( or anyone elses) or any good tips thanks. hi bungee, i think i am nervous because there is just so much to remember. i consider myself a a safe and confident driver and i know if i fail i am just not ready,and being a mother of 3 dont want to take any risks, but everyone tells you dont drive to slow or you will fail or do this dont do that. I just confused.

I am taking my first driving test tomorrow and am convinced I will fail from being so nervous- just thinking about it is bringing me out in a cold sweat! Does anyone have any tips on how I can remain calm?

Can someone tell me what I can expect in the theory and practical side of a driving test. How long roughly do both last, how many questions do I have to get right and what sort of things do they look for in both areas. I'm looking at taking my test soon so any up-to-date answers only would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to book a driving test so I can drive this summer. However, I work full time and I'm finding it impossible to find anywhere doing a test in london on a saturday. I can get tests during the week but that means taking hard-earned holiday which kinda sucks, not to mention piling on the pressure to make sure I pass first time. Any suggestions for how to get one, or what it's so hard? I know summer is tough and so are weekends, but there seems to be a seven-week waiting list for weekdays and no weekend tests at all for months. Is this normal?

I'm thinking about taking my driving test in my own car. However, my car has tinted windows, would I still be able to take my test in that car? Also, would the examiner need to check my insurance papers to see if I am insured?

I have my driving test in the morning and was wondering if anyone has suggestions for calming ones nerves ? I'm not dreading it by any means though I would rather have it over with !

When you take your practical driving test in the UK, the examiner usually asks 2 questions, a "show me" and a "tell me." What are the penalties for getting 1 or both of these wrong, is it an instant fail? :/ thanks in advance!

No anti-Brit sentiments please... I just want to kick off a discussion about the driving test, how it could be improved, and whether sitting it seven times is normal. The British (car) practical driving test involves two safety questions, at least two manoeuvres, at least one roundabout and a heck of a lot of driving around. It currently costs £48.50 sterling. The candidate can fail for earning one serious or dangerous fault, but he/she can have a maximum of 16 minor faults. Sorry for any confusion.. I failed 6 times; my next one will be my 7th... I am paying for lessons... have been since 2003. First instructor said that I wasn't ready for a test. Second instructor was a d*** (also a trainee); failed three tests with him; 16 minor faults, 15 minor faults and 10 minor faults. Third and current instructor is good... failed three tests with him though... 8 minor faults, 7 minor faults and 3 minor faults. In the fifth test, I went past the two car length maximum for parallel parking (result = failture). In the sixth test, I hit the kerb several times in the left corner reverse. In the last two tests, I was so close to passing

I have my driving test in a couple of weeks and i'm just wondering what things to read up on etc? And also are there any little tips you can suggest... Obviously im not wanting tips to ''trick'' the examiners but just genuine tips, possibly things people often forget etc??? yes i have done my theory passed first time.

I have my driving test coming up.
