Default 9th of January it is

Well after 3 lessons, my driving instructor tells me he has booked my test for Wed 9th Jan.....doing a mock test on Thursday and that it ahhhhhh lol

He said that I drive like I have been doing it for many years and cant beleive how much I have improved...so just a wee bit chuffed with myself today.

He did want me to sit it on Wednesday.....one of my pupils cant make their test on Wed he said...would you like to do it......hmmmm well if she is paying for it then I will lol, however I shall give myself the extra few weeks

Congratulations.

The same happened to me this week after 4 lessons. He wanted me to do it next week but I wanted 1 more so I am booked in for the 19th December 10.30.

Warning to people in Adelaide:

Stay off the road on the 19th.

Hi Julia and Biggy,

I'm not insulting your driving.. well I am a bit... but did you have some driving experience BEFORE your 3/4 lessons?

You must have surely??

(Just worried about driving in Oz now.......)

Seriously, good luck to you both. Being able to drive will open up a whole new World to you.

Cool news Biggy - little tip from someone that has just passed his HC, try and get an hours lesson booked for as NEAR to your test as possible. Helps heaps in getting it all fresh in your mind beforehand!

Good luck!

Congrats everyone with tests.

Can we please know what areas, you guys are in, and likely driving routes, so that WE can avoid you

Or even do a driveby of the "honk if your horny "
