Default Got my N driving test this morning!

In Richmond, which supposedly is a good place to take it. I've had around 25 hours of lessons but I still occasionally make the odd stupid mistake, so I'm quite nervous.
Wish me luck...

Don't you have a British license that you could exchange?

I failed =( not enough shoulder checking apparently. Kinda sucks since I've already spent over $800 now on learning to drive, to have 4 more lessons and take the test again would set me back another $400 (if I passed), I'm just not sure I can afford to learn. It's so much more feasible when you have free access to a vehicle.

@Oink No, I never learned to drive in the UK.

Don't you have a mate who could lend you a car to practice?

Default Re: Got my N driving test this morning!

I asked everyone at my work months ago and they all just gave me awkward silences =( I might be different now that I can drive ok but am a bit rough around the edges but somehow I doubt it. None of my friends have offered either.

Ask someone with whom you're intimate.

Surely his right hand would already be there to offer support during gear changes or large turning circles

I think you are being 'handist' there, I am sure his left hand would be equally supportive....

Good luck on your next attempt.
