It isn't hard as long as you keep looking at every area of the clip that a hazard might come up. I think the pass rate is 43/75 so you don't need to do too well.

I'd get a hazard perception CD-ROM to practice with. There's also a website that gives you two free clips to practice on, can't remember what its called. I'll try and find it.

Booked a driving lesson today.
Got my first one on Friday .

[Abigail]

Good luck
I need to get on and rebook my test otherwise I'll never pass.

[CrazyLea]

Awww make sure you're completely ready though Expensive to be keep doing it .

What did you fail on last time? Or did you just cancel it??

[Abigail]

I pulled out on a box junction at a red light. Then it all fell apart. I was doing fine up until then and I would have passed had I not done it.

[CrazyLea]

Oh dear.
Have you doubly practised the stuff you failed on .

[Abigail]

Yeah. Wierd thing is I have never done that before, I don't know why I did it. I almost started crying when I realised.

[CrazyLea]

Awww. Nerves probably!

Had my final pass plus lesson today! Went on the motorway, was really nervous before the lesson, but I really enjoyed it! Now I just have to wait for my certifciate and i'll have a very nice discount on my car insurance

Well done, congratulations on getting the pass. Enjoy your driving, everybody should just remember not to drink and drive, I know somebody who had his driving licence for 6 weeks before being caught 3 times over the limit. He got very fit the next two years walking to bus stops etc. and to work in addition to uni stuff to be able to pay off the fine.
