Done my test here this morning, first time doing a test, I was very nervous.
Basically got in and done my questions and then out for car checks. All was fine with this, straight forward enough.
Had practiced once per week for about 5-6 weeks but clearly not enough. I messed up (due to nerves) and then on the day I went a completely unknown route to me and got caught out with 2 grade 3 errors;
1 - I completely messed up my reverse. I’ve never missed it before but just got completely nervous and hit the kerb. Easy to overcome, but just on the day I messed up.
2 - On the way back I was marked for observation on the graduate roundabout. Again, done it a good few times and on the day just bottled it.
I was marked heavy on observation, which again I’ve only myself to blame.
I’ve uploaded the route I took (from memory) and will go again in 6-8 weeks, whenever I get the call up.
Stressful and mentally draining, but overall, good for the driving competency.
Best of luck to anyone else out there doing their test here.
