    just relax and drive as if you're with your friends. i know it's easier said than done but controlling your nerves is a huge factor. you actually got a good testing time. all the kids will have gone to school and not so much parent's cars around. i did mine at the same time. good luck to you!

    I'm up tomorrow morning too!

    My first time, but I'm going over the rules of the road so I get off to a good start.

    Just back from doing a few reverses and turnabouts, so it might be worth doing that tomorrow out of the way of morning traffic.

    Good luck with your test too.

    Im going over the rules of the road at the moment as well, Have done a few turn abouts and reversing today so hopfully it will help me.

    The thing with me is if somthing happens ie going into wrong gear i panic and it throws me off the test.

    Again Good Look tomorrow

    Passed today in Castlebar, but what a <SNIP> of a tester.

    Rushed through the Questions, ansered a bit of the question and he cut into the next.

    No bonet checks

    Stoped me on the way out of the center and asked me what the hell i was doing. The layout of the test centre as changed and the way its not sign posted yet, how was i to know.

    He was very misleading with the instructions, not giving enough notice when to turn left etc so i asked him before we aproched the turn and he barked back saying you can only ask me somthing when i say somthing like wtf.

    When comming back in from the test and parked up he said i was to close to the car beside but i was clearly, the other car was nearly over the line and he cleary told me to pul in to that exact spot. He then made a smart remark about it.

    Then giving me the result he said your lucky you passed.

    I felt like telling to f...off.

    At least i passed but if he is like this to all people doing there test i can see people beign afraid and failing.

    Happy i passed though as it was my third time.

    Make a formal complaint about him. If he's like that with you, chances are he's like that with others. I'm sure his colleagues would be disappointed to see him act like that.

    Well done on passing ;)

    Well done on passing. Ur tester seems like a bit of a pain to put it mildly!! I'm doing my test tomoro morning, also my 3rd time & I really really hope I get it this time! Am sick of doing it & also spending loads on pre tests etc. Nobody's fault but my own for failing first 2 times but last test was about 8 months ago and feel like i've improved enough. Fingers crossed, hopefully I'll also be able to post a happy message tomoro !:D
