Guest moonraker1961 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Not sure what you need us to suggest?I can share my experience though lol I had driving lessons with an independant driving instructor.I mentioned one day I was thinking of booking the theory test in?He advised me against it,and made a point of telling me not many people passed first time.I just thought "Well thats their experience,it does'nt have to be mine"Anyway I chose not to listen to him,took the test,and passed first time.Then same thing happened with the practical.He advised me against it saying again not many people passed first time,I took the test and passed first time.I think what helped me (apart from having the confidence lol)was I chose not to tell anyone I was doing either test apart from the instructor and my immediate family,that way I did'nt have a huge amount of people expecting me to pass lol I was slightly nervous when doing the practical as the assesor got in the car right and said point blank "Don't bother making small talk with me,just go where I tell you to and do what I say"I thought "Oh my god,thanks then"but in all honesty it gave me the much needed concentration to pass first time so I guess I can thank the guy for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emi-great Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 which suburb are you in... there should be a few driving schools in the area, just try a couple of different ones. Ring them & have a short conversation see what the person seems like ... if you go with them once or twice & dont like them just change. My son had a couple of instructors he didnt like but eventually found someone he got along with. I think the examiners who do the practical are definately getting a bit tougher on people & from experience with our teenagers two had to do the test twice so dont be disheartened if you dont pass first time. It is just important to have as much practice as you can & to be fairly confident but not overly so... they seem to dislike people who show too much confidence & are fairly strict with the boys I think. My son who passed first time approached his parking space at the wrong angle & simply said to the instructor im sorry but i cant do this im in the wrong position. The instructor told him to drive off but then took him again in a minute or two & he did it right & passed so I think its also about being sensible & knowing when you are making mistakes. You dont have to do everything perfectly & they pass on points system Good luck Eve www.emi-great.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
