oooooooooooh congrats!!
Can't wait til I pass my test, although thats a while off yet :(
I want a new mini when I pass but I doubt I can afford it or the insurance. I might settle for an older mini though.

I paid £100 for 10 lessons but that was only because my mum knew the driving instructor as her son went to my mums nursery, but it should have been £140 for 10.Quote:

Finally got another lesson booked for today. My driving instructor had a major car crash about a month ago (the day before my sister's test) so she's had no car and she's been really ill with whiplash and brusing. I'm really excited cos she's got a really smart car with bucket seats and it's red inside!!
So how did it go this time alkalinetrio? Did you pass?
The car sounds very nice jelly belly!! :p x
I just wondered how much everyone is paying for their lessons?
The AA have quoted me £26 per hour. Which is a rip off. Red Driving School have quoted me £24 per hour, which is mental as well. Well, at least i think so.
I'm not learning, but my mates who are/have, have paid between 15-20. Closer to 20 for most of them though.
One mate, paid 500 for 20 lessons, her theory and test all in one.
I got 10 lessons for £160 or £18 per hour. It's now gone up to £170 for 10 or £20 per hour. £26 is ridiculous for one hour.Quote:

I felt more confident as we were going round the route.
Some idiots decided to cut me up, I nearly crashed. There was a HGV parked on the opposite side of the road on a 2 mile straight (god knows where the driver was). I was approaching it when 3 lorries with bales on came zooming around the HGV and nearly crashed into me. Then when I started to move again the idiot in the van behind me decided to come up between me and the HGV. It really peed me off.
I've got my first lesson on Monday :D
Though its during the rush hour, which isn't good. Because there isn't anywhere around me which is quiet at that time. So we'll probably waste most the lesson finding somewhere i can drive, lmao.
I passed my theory today. 46/50 for the theory and 47/75 for the hazard. There was a really strange question on the theory part about putting chains of the wheels. I was like :confused: where exactly would you put chains on the wheels? I took a random guess and was right.
Practical test booked for Friday 16th November. If I fail on anything it will be speeding and positioning on roundabouts. The roundabouts aren't always a problem, it's just the two big ones around my test station that I tend to cut people up on.
Six weeks and I'll be passed :cheer: :cheer: (hopefully)
