I Passed!!! :)
« on: March 06, 2007, 03:35:19 PM »
Just got home from my driving exam and overjoyed to report that I passed!

I had a horrible, horrible warm up lesson and was in tears before the exam.

During the exam, my turn in the road was OK but my parallel park didn't end up so hot. I said something to the effect that it wasn't my best ever. He asked me what I would do to fix it and let me reposition slightly. I also had problems with finding the gears correctly since I was so nervous but he was very kind to me and only gave me 5 minors.

I am so relieved. I have been so ill with a respiratory infection these last 2 weeks and was very worried about this test but it's over now. Another UK hurdle cleared.

I'd be having a celebratory drink but I'm still on antibiotics, so please feel free to have one for me if you're so moved!  ;D

That is fantastic! 

I had a similar warm up lesson, kept screwing up one of the main roundabouts that I had never had problems with before.  I was totally prepared to fail, thankfully I passed.

Good for you.  I will have a celebratory port for you tonight.
