Ellmeister Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 22 hours of lessons till I passed on my first test. Was good times. ReZourceman, I thought I'd failed my test and just went all like depressed (not literally but in my head) and then when he said I passed I was like so smiley it was unbelievable! Good luck to everyone taking their tests soon
Rummy Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I had approx 50-60 lessons. *Throws money at drain* High five! When I had my test I was 99.9% certain I failed, because I took a roundabout in the wrong lane, and I was in my head like "Great. You've just fucking failed. Idiot" all the way through. Was uber shocked when he said Id passed. High five! Glad someone else here had more than like 30 lessons, felt kinda bad with everyone talking about how little they had and how they didn't have problems on the test! I gotta agree with warandchaos's comment that it's never a person's fault, my brother failed twice, and it wasn't his fault at all. Apparently one time his examiner was 'too strict' as he was being audited, and I forgot his excuse for the other. I think both times they took his wheel or pedals, and if they have to it's an automatic fail? He says it's because they're a bit jumpy round here as it's a busy area, but tbh, I didn't have problem! Makes me feel pretty good I passed first time :D

Dog-amoto Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Average is 45 hours - but I've had people pass in 20, one or two in nearly 200. Everyone is different
Dog-amoto Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Just got news that the theory test is going up to £30 from £28.50 on 1 April and the practical test is going up to £56.50 from £48.50. Bloody ridiculous. So anybody who needs to book soon better do it now.
nightwolf Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Hmm my tutor was on about the dsa meeting he's got today, sounded abit irratatingly boring but he had to go. 56quid? What so it wasn't expensive alreasdy...jesus if I don't pass first time I'm stuffed! As it is I had a very bad day driving yesterday, after taking me on a bad turn I kinda lost the plot after that. Oh well...
Guest Stefkov Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 It was about that price when I booked my test for a Saturday. Over the £50 barrier. I best not fail then shall I.
Dog-amoto Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 It'll be about £66 for a Saturday now. It's scandalous!
Strider Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Just got back from a 1 1/2 hour lesson. It was my first proper lesson since before christmas, and i was pretty crap (Well at first anyway). Did afew 3 point turns which i ballsed up, after an hour or so of the driving i was getting better again. Also i hate the guys seats, hurts my manly jewels.
ReZourceman Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 The day before I bought my car it was actually hilarious. Like so I passed in like February early, and bought a car the middle of March, so hadnt been driving for like 6/7 weeks, and the guys I bought it off were in the car as I test drove it, and I was just awful, and obviously it was a crappy old car, not the brand new one I learnt in. Funny stuff.
Dog-amoto Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 My test is tomorrow *fingers crossed* Good luck man. If you need any advice, you can ask me
The fish Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 My test is tomorrow *fingers crossed* Good luck! My 8th lesson is tomorrow, but my chances of passing before my sister look thin, as she took her test successfully this morning...
ReZourceman Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Good luck! My 8th lesson is tomorrow, but my chances of passing before my sister look thin, as she took her test successfully this morning... Doesnt this make the chances nil, not thin? Huh?
Mokong Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Ok test is at 3:40, got one final lesson at 2:15, just about to get off work.... feeling pretty confident, but that will likelt change as soon as i walk into the test center
Dog-amoto Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Doesnt this make the chances nil, not thin? Huh? I thought the same thing!
somme Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 My dad's a driving instructor, his pupils average pass rate is 24 hours. (24 one-hour lessons.) I passed in around 21 and didnt have to pay for any of them. :P That was 3 years ago now.
Mokong Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 *jumps up and down like a giddy school girl* I PASSED WOHOOO Go me, back of the net, get in there....and so forth.
