don't worry i fluffed my practical test up today Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 14/12/2011 08:24:56 PM
im 24 and i was too un-confident to learn how to drive when i turned 17(brit). during one lesson i went too fast round a corner and almost hit someone so i gave up learning cause it really shook me up. now i have the time, money and confidence to learn properly

my advice?

if you think you can't do it wait a while and try again, don't give up entirely but sometimes the delay might help. if you think you can be do it then keep at it.

that may be helpful, or maybe not. im not overly good at advice

Seriously? Why? At 13 you should have had some awareness of the danger you were posing to others Vivien - 13/12/2011 10:27:59 PM 910 Views

Probably just a difference in perspective. Kids sneaking a vehicle for a jor ride is pretty common. everynametaken - 15/12/2011 03:51:30 AM 899 Views

Isn't it traditional to fail your first test? Or is that just around here? Legolas - 13/12/2011 08:14:01 PM 869 Views
