As many of you know I am due to take my driving test next week and I'm rather worried about it. Below is a link to my question as to how to overcome being panicky about this test and some people's answers. to all those who have already commented. I look forward to hearing more on this.

We did not probably influnce fate that much but it did help her, thinking of us, thinking of her, so when is the test and we will think you through it.
You never know...

Once you're actually on the road you'll be fine. Take a few deep breaths before you go out there.

Sorry to hear you failed your driving test.

What did you fail it on?

the turn in the road and a safety feature.

I failed my driving test the first time as well.

I went into a yellow criss cross box without checking to see if the exit was clear over the other side.

Sorry to hear you failed

Now you know what the problem is you will have a better chance of passing it the next time.

Were you nervous?

I did that and then went oh dear i know what i've done wrong now.

Thankyou for being supportive.

Yep I had bunny foot.

You're welcome

I think that a test is all very well but 1 in every 200 licence holders would pass again, and this new test is a much harder one than it was even 5 years ago

my daughter passed her driving test first time
What makes you say it is a much harder one that it was even 5 years ago. Are you a driving instructor?

No but I know one and the standards set to pass are higher in as much as even minor slips can be marked down

There are still a lot of crazy drivers on the road.
What are you suggesting? That we have to re-take our test every 5 years? I saw a car on the pavement yesterday. I have no idea what she was doing (obviously she didn't either)

No I say it is a good job we dont, there would be fewer drivers out there

I am a driver, so I shouldn't really say this, but
there are too many drivers on the road anyway.

Yes still we will make room for opti

now, now I didn't mean to start a game of tennis thrashing.

Talking of tennis reminds me, I saw someone driving a red sports car today who looked just like one of my old boyfriends
...He's looking a bit chubbier
he also looked like he had plenty of
Perhaps he might like to buy a pub

he wasn't the one who rushed up to me on my test was he?
