At least lesson learnt

I hate strikers who mess up everyone else

Especially when it is the Post Orifice, as once when I was unemployed, my cheque was stuck in post (the cheque paid for by my NI contributions), and I was broke, even rode to the sorting office to ask for it, they said strike on so I said thats OK get some more staff, plenty at the job centre!

Since then I have been horrible to striking postal workers*, there are always other jobs!

* Always when something important is due me and stuck!

Yes possibly the most expensive packet of cigs i've ever smoked. I quit smoking now anyway.

Test result: cancelled

Reason: the driving instructors at loughton are w****rs and went on strike action. They will of course get nothing for it except a day off and costing the DSA a fortune in refunded lessons and tests, since none of the other centres did it. I sense some sackings coming up for them.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Was so psyched for it too, my instructor said my driving was brilliant and I would have passed.

Sorry to hear that m8.....hope you get a retest soon....im sure your pass 1st time  :y

Yeah, knew that was gonna go to extra time... barstewards.

DSA are refunding my test, 3 hours of lessons (£75) and half a days work. Not all bad I suppose.

Result!!

Remember for tests be positive in your driving, they hate people who hesitate. I got 2 minor points in my test for speeding twice!

I passed first time ;) :D

Yet a mate failed his test for constantly doing 50 in a 60 zone!!

Drive as close to the limit as possible at all times (i sounds stupid but that's what they look for) don't be too cautious at junctions  :y

Confidence is the key.  I pulled out infront of a bus on a roundabout and when questioned, I simply replied that I could see the bus could not fit through the gap of traffic ahead and would have to stop and the guy behind me was so close if I broke hard he would have hit me for not pulling out.  Fair enough he said you've passed.  I've been bulshatting ever since  :y

lol thanks for the advice guys. i've always been a confident driver... thats not a problem at all. my only downfall may be over-confidence, but my instructor has been working with me on that. driving at the speed limits is not a problem, i've always done that, even in lessons.

Sounds to me you dont have anything to worry about.

Good Luck with the retest :y
