How many attempts did it take for you to pass your driving test?

[Tom]

All in the title :)

[Chantel]

Still a learner, have been for ages :joker:

[_Seth]

Too young. XD

[pinkmichk]

taken 7 and failed them all (annoyingly i can drive i just lose my nerve under test conditions) i then got pregnant and had to focus money elsewhere still cant afford to try again cos even if i passed i couldnt afford to run a car at moment

[Princess]

I'm not young,I'm just not bothered to learn :laugh: I would an absolutely terrible driver! I have no sense of direction,sense of proportion,hand-eye co-ordination and if Take That came on the radio I'd crash into a tree. So yeah public transport FTW woop!

[Harry!]

Im too little lol

[pinkmichk]

if Take That came on the radio I'd crash into a tree.

:laugh: bless ya

[Beastie]

I passed on my 2nd time.

[Shaun]

Have only had 6 lessons...can't really afford to drive and I find the whole experience quite stressful.

[Niamh.]

I passed first go!:dance:

[Tom]

Its not once you get used to it :tongue:

I love it now, passed first time because I did an intensive course over a week so everything was still pretty fresh

Theory was a bastard though because I did it in such a short time.

[Captain.Remy]

2nd attempt. First time I was too nervous but the second, I did well. I couldn't actually live without my car ? I still don't know how I did before. I mean, the bus, the people, smoking while driving (I know it sounds random but it's a great pleasure)

[bronaaaa]

Too yound :sad:
11 months til I can learn eeee :lovedup:

[King Gizzard]

I havnt started yet, ive had a couple of drive arounds in a massive car park with my dad

its quite hard though, i have to duck my head in most cars, the ones you learn in

[30stone]

Second, though i was unlucky to fail my first.

Couldn't live without my car now, and driving is fun.

[Tom4784]

I haven't bothered since I'll end up killing someone or more importantly myself. :laugh:

[Rory]

Only one.

[\PJ/]

I have had 46 driving lessons in a manual,and i have decided to go to automatic becuase i just can't cope with changing gear looking and all the other stuff you have to do where as in a automatic you get in and drive dirve drive.

[andyman]

Auto is not the way to drive, PJ you must learn the gears!

Oh and you don't look at the gear stick when changing.. :shocked:

[30stone]

LOL
Just noticed

"I'm still an annoying learner with a green license"

I always have a laugh people that still have these lol.

[andyman]

From green to pink.. Just aint right.

[Lee.]

I failed my first test when I was 18... I have had a few bouts of lessons since then (and been involved in a few accidents) bit I CANNOT reverse round a corner so I have sort of given up!

[andyman]

Yeah best that you give up and forget about the whole idea of driving a car..

[Lee.]

Ha ha.. I didn't actaully cause the accidents, nor was I actually driving at the time, but being involved in the accidents certainly have put me off and made me quite nervous in a car...

[\PJ/]

I know but come on 46 lessons! i just want to drive now i can always do manual in the future when im used to the roads a bit more,but i doubt i will.

[Lauren]

I haven't even had lessons! Couldn't afford it and now I'm in Uni I have to wait til afterwards. My bf can drive though so I'm not in too much bother haha

[Barbie]

2nd go,

i hate driving though

[Beastie]

this!

Yeah and also I bet them people are so gutted when they get banned from driving after getting too many points on their license or drink driving etc.. they must get depressed having that sense of freedom taken away from them for a year or 2. lol

[30stone]

Yeah must be horrible.

Going to work and the gym, now its getting close to winter is so easy, can't imagine having to walk or somthing to either.

[Enid]

Never even tried. I know I will get terribly nervous behind the wheel at first, and I have horrible road rage when in the damn passenger seats.

[Beastie]

Lol I have a bit of road rage if I am rushing to get to somewhere but if I am in no rush, I dont care.

[Enid]

Thing is, there are so many bad drivers on the road and they frustrate me more than traffic jams.

[Beastie]

Yeah must be horrible.

Yeah the cold winter months and the fact that I start work at 3am, its good that I have a car and love listening to the radio stations too! I will have to get my ice scraper at the ready now seeing as though its Winter!

[Beastie]

Yeah and people who indicate too late or old people on the roads who drive too slow!

[andyman]

Women drivers are the biggest fk up's..

[Lauren]

Women drivers are the biggest fk up's..

Yeah, but the ones that annoy me more than anything are the (usually male in this case) drivers that can't be bothered using their indicators. Frustrates me to no end... they're usually the d'heads in bmw's.

[andyman]

Yeah BMW drivers are truely bad, same with taxi drivers..

But to be fair on women they aint bad as old people.. Old people drive into shops and still blame the young..

[Tom]

Apparently you're a safer driver if you fail the first time because you become more aware. I'd say that makes sense, I'm a terrible driver, I ignore red lights etc when noone is about :joker:

[LemonJam]

My tests in 3 days, I may be able to answer this then. =D

[\PJ/]

Gl lj.

[Gemmer-x]

took 1 test, failed that :P so second time lucky eh

[Niamh.]

Women drivers are the biggest fk up's..

I passed my test first go and am a great driver thank you very much!

[Beastie]

Best of luck Lemon Jam for your driving test!

And best of luck to you too Gemmer. I am sure you will pass 2nd time!! :D

[andyman]

I passed my test first go and am a great driver thank you very much!In your own mind maybe.

[Niamh.]

In your own mind maybe.

lol, I bet I'm a better driver than you!!

[andyman]

Hahahahahahaha stop it!

Hahahahahahahaha.. Woooo.

[Lee.]

I think in general, women are more careful drivers, but perhaps are a bit more prone to sill little mistakes and daydreaming etc.
Men are often better drivers but are more likely to speed and take silly risks so I think men are the more dangerous drivers...

*waits with fingers in ears to be shot down in flames*

This sounds really sexist, but I met a female pilot once and was horrified.. I hadn't really thought about it before, but for some reason (god this sounds terrible) I would feel safer with a male pilot...

*decides not to wait to be shot down in flames, but runs away instead*

I think you are right about the car driving theories.

Pilots.. well there are more male pilots than female ones? I don't mind whether it is a male or female pilot who is flying me but there are usually always 2 pilots on board to make the journey extra safe just in case something bad happens.

Oh I just realised my location is your username... :hugesmile: That could be rather weird.

:hugesmile: Yes I noticed that...

:eek:

[Tom]

At least the theory test was easy. I passed that first time as well, 35/35 on the questions and about 70% on Hazard Perception. But this woman took 950 attempts on just the theory :shocked:
