If you had to take your driving test again do you think you would pass it? What bad habits have you picked up since you passed your test?

I wouldn't pass I am sure especially when the local ladies are out in the summer walking around town

It'd be borderline; I'd be picking up so many minors for not doing the 6-point checks and driving with one hand on the wheel, just going over the speed limit by 1 mph, using the air-con to slow the car down etc. :crybaby:

.......the wheel, just going over the speed limit by 1 mph, using the air-con to slow the car down etc. :crybaby:

Over the speed limit by 1mph !! Shame on you! At an indicated 31mph you are probably doing around 28... Perfectly acceptable.

How does using the aircon to slow the car down work then? i've never noticed that, even before my hybrids? And on the Aygo it makes no difference either...

Very well actually, thanks :)

I have only managed to get two lessons but I have apparently knocked down 4-5 lessons work in the second due to the activity around the estate. So I was very pleased with that! :D

No...

I passsed my test first time at 17...

Due to various errr "legalities" I had to retake it three years later.... and failed....

I was certainly a better driver when I took it for the second time.

My niece is going to take a 5 day driving course.

I think its about 4 or 5 hours per day,some sort of fast track thing.

My son is paying for it. costing £850.

I already had a full motorcycle licence when i past my driving test in the army when doing nationel service.

Did it in a Bedford s type lorry, the tester were civilians from Minestry of Transport.

The tester i got was called Handbrake Harry, cos he kept his hand on the handbrake all through the tests.

only needed two lessons as got experiance driving vehicles around the RME workshops after doing repairs/sevicing on them.this was all many years ago.

where has the time gone?

Ok, so while the bragging is going on.....

I took, and passed my DSA test on my 17th birthday at 9am on a Monday!

I took, and passed first time, my IAM test 18 years ago

I taught, and they all passed firat time, my Wife and both my Sons.

I now train drivers up to the standard required for the IAM test, I have had 15 people in the last 2 years, all of whom have passed first time.

I am proud to say I have never been stopped by the police for any traffic offence and have never had any kind of speeding or other ticket.

I have only had one accident, that was when some 17 year old *****le crested the brow of a hill on my side of the road. I was in a Carina, he was in a Golf. I drove home from the Isle of Wight in the Carina, his Golf went to the big car park in the sky.

I am not really bragging, I am, I think rightly, proud of my driving record and have no intention of having any blemishes on my licence in 7 years time when I am 70.

I've heard of these courses before, provided you pass the test at the end of the week they're not bad value.

You may only get 4 hours tuition per day, but you are also a passenger in the car for the other 4 hours I believe. So you are learning from the other driver too.

Good luck to her :thumbsup:

I might have been dreaming - but didn't Jason Plato (the touring car racing driver) undergo a mock driving test (ie same as real test but it didn't matter if he passed or not) for an Auto Express article about a month ago.

He failed the test (or rather would have if it had been a real test), Actually as part of the article he also took the hazard preception test and was giving out that he was spotting hazards early but the computer wasn't recognising his clicks as he was too quick for the system. Still passed that section of it mind you.
