 About taking driving lessons again and try and past for the 3rd time I'm a bit scared with taking the theory and the other test but can't rememeber it now,

I did past my first theory test but was 10 or so years ago now

Once you get back into Maria you will be fine!

I have recently pursuaded a friend to return to driving lesson after she failed three tests many years ago.  The difference is I advised her to learn in automatics, which is working well.  It has been much easier for her, and she is already looking around for a automatic car! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Just a case Maria of getting back in the saddle and relaxing, just enjoying the driving.  You'll pass before you know it

No offence intended Maria.......but perhaps it's best to leave driving to the professionals.....men....

[maria]

Thanks for your reassuring Lizzie, I was thinking of doing my lessons in a automatic as i think it be better for me but did my last lessons and tests in a manual and found the gears was ok to master when i got the hang of it.yeah I hope i do but they are making it a lot harder for you to pas these days not like it was yrs ago

My sister went this route Maria.....gear and clutch coordination proved too much for her smaller female brain... ....Well...she passed...but is now only allowed to drive an automatic.....

you'll have to re-take your Theory again, it will have expired by now. Its a combination of multiple choice questions and hazard perception videos. I had to take this for my bike test, there is a certain 'method' for passing this video section, as you click the mouse when you see a danger. But you have to click in the right bit, i found 'batch' clicking 3/4 times worked well

Depends how you are on coordination, but Automatics are easy

Maria, not much idea about the tests involed there,
but I can say a few words for the car you will buy..

go for an auto , small car which also have rear parking sensors.. practise with simulators for some time.. and practise with someone on non-crowded roads..and dont go in mad traffic unless you are confident with the car.. many of my woman friends from job have trouble in heavy traffic (and passed real bad experiences) .. so I feel the necessity to warn you..sorry

Not Commenting.

Well cem i have had two tests before and was OK with traffic and done well on my last test but the reason me falling was i doing a parallel parking and i went to far back and didn't bring the car forward enough so he faild me and I thought just give up which i did , silly me because when i get over my nerves i 'm ok with driving and enjoy it , dont have be sorry and know what your saying

well i would never buy a manual again unless it was a van or sports car. auto all the time for me

[aaronjb]

See I'd say even if you're only going to drive an automatic (or think you are) .. do your test in a manual car and learn how to drive a manual car - if nothing else it means you can:

Hire a van should you ever need to shift stuff
Hire a car without having to hunt around for an automatic (which can be hard when you're on holiday in certain places)
Arguably buy a cheaper-to-run manual runaround
etc

And most importantly.. you won't have to have your left leg amptuated!*


(*I lied about that last part, you don't really have to have your leg amputated just to drive an automatic)

That is fine for many of us, but for some like TWO of my friends, and I think Maria, it is a no go.  They waste a lot of time and money on lessons and tests trying to get over the technicallitiies of manual driving but just cannot master it. 

So why not take the easy option, save a lot of money, and get on the road with one of the excellent auto's now available?
