[Jake.]

For Thursday :laugh: bit nervous lol

[Saph]

omg you'll be like me last week

I had my 2nd one today which was a lot easier

[Niamh.]

best of Luck Jake :love:

[fingers]

Just take a look at the thousands of nutters on the roads, they all passed, supposedly, so you will have NO problem.

Edit: re-reading that, it sounds a bit dodgy, wasn't meant to be! :dance::wavey:

[Ammi]

..:amazed:..oh wow, that's great news, Jake..:love:..it will give you a whole new independence when you pass your test..(which you will..)...and when you do, I'm sending you a SAT Nav and some petrol money and you're going to drive over and have a cup of tea with me..well, coffee actually, I don't do tea...I might even adopt you....

[MeMyselfAndI]

I started learning like 5 weeks ago

[Lee.]

I'm going to take lessons after Xmas :/

[Ammi]

..Oooo, well done, Lee..it really does make a huge difference, especially if you live in more remote areas, like I do...

[Jake.]

Thanks everyone!

Lol, I know, looking forward to it though!

Yeah, independence and not relying on public transport are my main reasons lol... and that sounds amazing! Stick the kettle on :amazed:

[Ammi]

Thanks everyone!

..I'll leave it a few weeks, Jake otherwise the water might have cooled down a bit before you get here...

[Jake.]

Good point, nothing worse than a luke-warm cuppa

[reece(:]

I'm starting soon too, let's hope we all pass with flying colours!:hugesmile:

[Jake.]

Ah all the best Reece :D

[Lee.]

We should have a Tibb driving test race :amazed:

[Jake.]

:joker: that would be too funny lol

[Drew.]

The first lesson is the most exciting one driving for the first time around an empty car park.. Then it all goes downhill and becomes scary when you have to take it out onto the road

Oh God, I'm nervous enough as it is! Lol

[MeMyselfAndI]

I was driving on the road first lesson

[Jake.]

I was driving on the road first lesson

How did you find it?

[Marc]

You'll be fine. It's the easiest thing

[King Gizzard]

VZ2HcRl4wSk

[Jake.]

You'll be fine. It's the easiest thing

Thanks :)

[Jake.]

VZ2HcRl4wSk

I can do itttt

[King Gizzard]

just don't start saying it during the lesson

actually do then the instructor might join in

[reece(:]

Ah all the best Reece :D
Likewise :hugesmile:
We should have a Tibb driving test race :amazed:
Definitely, I may have a bit advantage since I'm going to be in an automatic :D

[King Gizzard]

Don't want things turning ugly between the two of you

[Jake.]

just don't start saying it during the lesson

actually do then the instructor might join in

This would be amazing, might just do this for the 2 hours

[jackc1806]

Good luck! :amazed:

[Jake.]

thanks :amazed:

[AnnieK]

Good luck all....the novelty soon wears off and lessons become boring but it's the best feeling when you pass...

[Lee.]

Likewise :hugesmile:

Definitely, I may have a bit advantage since I'm going to be in an automatic :D

I may have even more of an advantage as I've already had like 200 lessons :evilgrin:

[Jake.]

Good luck all....the novelty soon wears off and lessons become boring but it's the best feeling when you pass...

Thanks, and yeah, passing is what I'm looking forward to!

[MeMyselfAndI]

How did you find it?

It was jkinda fun, I kept thinking I was going too crash into other cars lmao. My driving instructor is really strict & quite frankly a bad instructor though

[reece(:]

I may have even more of an advantage as I've already had like 200 lessons :evilgrin:
Uh oh..... :shocked:!

[Jake.]

it's in 5 minutes D:

[MTVN]

Weird time to have your first lesson

[Novo]

something disasterous is going to happen, always does when things like this happen on a Thursday

[fingers]

Bloody hell, at NIGHT!

[Jake.]

I'm nervous enough as it is! Lol

[fingers]

I don't get it, driving at night is bad enough AFTER you've had some lessons......

[Novo]

you had to open your big mouth didn't you fingers, the lad is having a nervous breakdown now

[Smithy]

Definitely, I may have a bit advantage since I'm going to be in an automatic :D

Cheat :nono:

[fingers]

you had to open your big mouth didn't you fingers, the lad is having a nervous breakdown now

An instructor who books a FIRST lesson for night time shouldn't be instructing.

Edit: Unless it's classroom theory only.

[reece(:]

Cheat :nono:
They're clearly superior and make car journeys more enjoyable!! :hugesmile:

[Drew.]

i highly doubt Jake will even be behind the wheel tonight, he'll probably just have everything explained to him.. but if you do drive then don't crash to badly

[Smithy]

They're clearly superior and make car journeys more enjoyable!! :hugesmile:

Just sounds like you're being lazy tbh :idc:

[reece(:]

Just sounds like you're being lazy tbh :idc:
But what's the point of it if it can be avoided.. just makes my road journeys less hassle. Do stay pressed tho

[Jemal]

LOL agree with Reece..

Like if i wana drive a automatic as its easier for me why in gods name would i try and get a Manuel which im less capable of controlling.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Of course he'll be behind the wheel with a 2 hour lesson, I was after 5m of a 1 hour lesson

[Drew.]

Didn't realize it was a 2 hour lesson, my first was only 30 minutes

[Livia]

Boys... boys! You're not driving. You're just steering! Promise me you'll learn to drive properly in a manual once you've passed your automatic test... with all the little old ladies.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think you mean the little old lady's will be driving better than them

[fingers]

Boys... boys! You're not driving. You're just steering! Promise me you'll learn to drive properly in a manual once you've passed your automatic test... with all the little old ladies.

They'll have to take another test to get a REAL licence! :devil:

[Livia]

I think you mean the little old lady's will be driving better than them

They'll have to take another test to get a REAL licence! :devil:

Yes and... yes.

Baby you can't drive my car.

[Jake.]

Okay it went great, was behind the wheel, up on roundabouts and everything with his assistance, he said he was suprised at how quickly I picked up on it and doesn't expect me to take more than 25 lessons! :D

..:amazed:..did you not go around them, Jake..

[Jake.]

..:amazed:..did you not go around them, Jake..

Nope, straight over them... lol :p

[Brother Leon]

It's a life changer being in a warm car for winter. Let that be your motivation to pass ASAP :p.

[Kazanne]

Nope, straight over them... lol :p

aw Jake ,you'll soon master it,nothing like the freedom of the open road,although they are not so 'open' now,good luck with it,I remember how I felt that first time:hugesmile:

This along with no longer using the bus is my motivation! :p

I didn't actually drive over one LOL, but thanks! :)

[Saph]

25 lessons :s surely it won't be that many?

[MTVN]

Would be surprised if many people pass in less than that number of lessons

[fingers]

I didn't have any lessons and passed first time.

[MTVN]

Things have moved on from the 70s though fingers

[fingers]

You're 20 years out!

Edit: I'm talking Suez Crisis!, not that you'll know about that! lol

[MTVN]

Edit: I'm talking Suez Crisis!, not that you'll know about that! lol

Course I know about, I am a history student :nono:

[Brother Leon]

15 Lessons Gang. But I used to Drive my mum around, because she's super lazy to do it herself lol

[Jake.]

25 lessons :s surely it won't be that many?

He said it's typically nearer the 35-40 mark

[fingers]

<Waits patiently, while MTVN frantically Googles>

[fingers]

He said it's typically nearer the 35-40 mark

Is that at £10 per hour?

[Jake.]

Is that at £10 per hour?

No, mine works out about 20 an hour

[MTVN]

<Waits patiently, while MTVN frantically Googles>

Oh how little you know

[fingers]

No, mine works out about 20 an hour

Holy Shi'ite!

[MeMyselfAndI]

bloody hell 50 hours of lessons is less than average? It'll take me a year then as I have 1 hour lessons :laugh:

[Smithy]

Is that at £10 per hour?

wow :joker:

[Jake.]

my second lesson was today (he had to cancel last weeks) and it went great, got another tomorrow :D

[Ammi]

...aww, that's great, Jake..you're enjoying it...?..it is a great feeling to be driving and when you pass your test, that first time without the instructor/someone with you...wow...

[Jake.]

Yeah Ammi I love it, can't wait till tonight! :)

[Benjamin]

Jake can you pick me up and take me to the shop please? I need some toilet roll.

[Jake.]

Yeah why not

[Drew.]

New drivers are likely to be involved in an accident within their first 5 lessons. Tonight's the night

[Jake.]

Bit sick that, but with any luck it involves hitting the back of your van

[Drew.]

You've done well to avoid one already

[Jake.]

I know I'm really suprised, I thought that I'd be driving on the pathway or something

[Drew.]

Think one of my first lessons was so bad he made me pull over so he could drive instead

[Jake.]

Really? :o

[Drew.]

:laugh: yeah he made me pull into a McDonald's car park to switch over and he didn't trust me, I was terrible

[Jake.]

Wow lol, I bet that was a tad embarrassing :laugh:

[Drew.]

Nah wasnt too bad, was my 2nd or 3rd lesson and It was during the school run in the morning so I was all over the place

[Jake.]

Ah fair enough, where I'm doing it at night it isn't too bad really

[michael21]

For Thursday :laugh: bit nervous lol

i know i a bit late but i just thought of a funee joke here gos

booking it that the easy bit it the test that hard

[Jake.]

Okay I now hate roundabouts :(

[Ammi]

..:hug:..what happened, Jake..?...

[Jake.]

I had to do roundabouts properly lol, I did okay I guess but it was all really confusing and stuff haha :( a couple of slip ups, i wish they didn't exist because before that i was doing fine lol

[Ammi]

I had to do roundabouts properly lol, I did okay I guess but it was all really confusing and stuff haha :( a couple of slip ups, i wish they didn't exist because before that i was doing fine lol

...awwww, you silly..:hug:...you've only had a few lessons and roundabouts are one of the more complicated things, so you're doing just fine, even when you've had more lessons and feel much more confident, there will be times that you go out and feel as though just about everything was wrong and feel rubbish about it ...but then the next time you go out, it all will go great and you'll be walking on air after the lesson and buzzing to take your test straight away...it's the same/been the same for all of us, Jake..that's what happens because you're doing a lot/thinking about a lot in the space of a short time and driving is a lot about repetition and you can only do that the more you drive..just keep doing the same thing...in another lesson or two, it will all just 'click', I promise you...please don't be down about it because it's honestly how we've all felt at one time but it doesn't last at all..you'll be driving those ladies around in no time at all...Cool Hand Jake..:love:...

:hug: yeah, seems a bit silly worrying now really lol, I'm sure I'll click in a couple of lessons lol, it's just a lot to take in... thanks Ammi :love:

[Ammi]

:hug: yeah, seems a bit silly worrying now really lol, I'm sure I'll click in a couple of lessons lol, it's just a lot to take in... thanks Ammi :love:

..yeah, but it feels like a lot to take for everyone who learns at the beginning, Jake...it isn't you so don't feel disheartened...I know exactly how you're feeling, I was like that as well but I hardly ever crash...it's no different to anything you do, it's just practise and practise and then it clicks and you'll be a great driver....when you started your job or your college course or other things you've done, you probably thought...ughhh, I have no idea what I'm doing..?...but you do....

[Jake.]

Yeah, very true Ammi, you always have the best advice :love: :hug:

[BBfanUSA]

I remember when I was 14 and first learning how to drive. Good Luck.

[Jake.]

14? :o and thanks :)
