Posted October 15, 2008 Congratulations to you! I passed mine in December and haven't driven since, why? Cos insurance, cars and fuel are too damn expensive. Still, an awesome feeling knowing you're officially capable of driving a car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2008 Congrats! I passed in June (First time, 3 minors) It's a good feeling I think mine only lasted bout 30 mins if that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2008 Congratulations First time? Amount of minors? Yup first time with 4 Grade 1's (minors)! Well happy! Congrats! I've got mine tomorrow morning. I'm absolutely bricking it. I was like that yesterday, just get out in the car tonight and drive around for a bit. That's what I did last night. Drove the test route and just practiced some of the manoeuvers. You'll be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drove the test route and just practiced some of the manoeuvers. You'll be fine I've got an hour driving lesson before my test to get into the swing of things. I know I can pass it, but I feel like I'll make a stupid mistake and fail the whole thing. Arghh! Just want to get it done and dusted!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2008 Hope you pass this time Chuck, I know how depressing failing a driving test multiple times is. Just try not to think of it as a test and drive as naturally as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 15, 2008 I failed my first test, didn't drive until my second, which was a month later, and then passed with one minor. The second test I did really calmly. Glad it's over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 16, 2008 Honestly, as conzer said, it's such a good feeling! I'm really glad I checked out the test routes online first, they make you realise how easy they actually are! As soon as he said "Ok, I'm happy to tell you.." my hands were clasped to my face in relief. So damn relieved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2008 I'm glad I have "high-ups" in my family. My uncle got me my license without having me take the exams. :] Not like the ACTUAL test is difficult. You just drive around an S-shape, then drive back through half of it in reverse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2008 But where's the satisfaction in that, eh? Also, it means that the Egyptian equivalent of the DSA must be pretty corrupt if they allow that to happen, tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
