Good luck everyone. Passed my test today 14/02/2024 on my second attempt with 2 minors. Couldn’t really afford an instructor so I thought myself in my home country in our compound before coming here. Failed the test the first time because I didn’t see the light change from green to amber so by the time I was crossing it was already red & I got a major fault for jumping the traffic light & 3 minors. I was so disappointed because it was close to the test centre where I was about to finish my test, so in a nut shell, I failed almost at the very end. However this time around I was more focused & confident. My examiner & I talk all the way through 😅

i hope to come back on wednesday with a pass !

Most people failed because of
Observations
Awareness and planning
Mirrors and change direction

It becomes a battle of the minds when you are in the car with a driving test examiner. And that is a battle with only one winner. And one failer.

Good luck everyone ! I’ve passed my driving test on my 6th attempt after trying 3 times with my driving instructor and failed I decided to try with my own car I manage to pass at my third attempt, and to be honest examinor do feel stressed when they don’t have any control of the situation.. and I could feel his stress and ending up stress even more… on my last successful attempt I just spoke to them as if I was talking to myself on all the actions that I was going to take and could definitely feel that it reassured them cause they knew exactly what was going in my head…

I thought I would never gonna make it, I am a very anxious person and hate exams…

the impression of you made by the examiner actually is so important, I was one of those “36 in a 30” people and I passed :)

Passed 3 weeks ago with 5 minors. Honestly don’t be scared of the examiner, if you can chat and stay focused at the same time it will take your mind away from the occasion. They are not scary, I stalled and corrected myself and my examiner told me to take a deep breath. Just relax and do your best

Saw the P plate in the thumbnail and wondered what everyone’s experience is using these?

I took my daughter for 25 hours, in addition to instructor based lessons, she passed last week with 3 minors.

During lessons I was surprised to learn how recklessly people drive around a learner. Pulling out in front of them, racing to get ahead of them and swerving in, not letting them out or move across. Ironically, people weren’t giving her an easy time, they were more reckless… Anything to get ahead.

I worry that P plates attract the same mentally from the idiot brigade, and having them would actually achieve the opposite….

Also Josh: "They go home at 4"

Great tips, I also had an examiner called Chris last year who was really chatty but that suited me as I love to chat and he put me at ease as he was so friendly. I said I’d like to chat but if I needed to focus on something I’d go quiet, we chatted and even a few jokes and I did pass. My instructor said I could pass if I could control the nerves which I did.

Good luck to everyone I got mine I’m next week I’m gonna pass

I have my driving test in 5 hours. Wish me luck! Will update with results later

Have got my test in 48hrs ! And I hope to come back here to say I’ve passed. Not able to control my nerves !

My Mum and Dad have actually been taking me out driving for over 3 years now and both have said "You'll Pass no problems" and I still feel nervous.
I've never had an accident, I've had my temper tested before but learnt to stop and control it, still learning minor mistakes my Dad noticed and fixing those mistakes by practising whilst I drive.

My Mum has fallen asleep at times when I'm taking her out for a drive into the countryside, and she even mentions that I drive better then my Dad, who is an absolute meance on the roads I can tell you.

This video actually calmed me down a lot

This guy's energy and encouragement is hitting. ❤
