Yeah, it's just like the average car except they have a flashing light on the top which is removable.

Just had another disastorous lesson... I can't even use the steering wheel properly and I ended up just messing up, stopping in the middle of the road and nearly crashing into cars. I feel thick to be honest. We had to stop to show me how to use my left and right hand on the steering wheel and then I tried again and I still couldn't do it...I just feel really stupid ... we spent the whole lesson going round the car park so I could practice how to turn and after so many times, I still couldn't do it . Driving definetly isn't for me.

I wouldnt give up just yet Dave, it's worse peservering. It takes longer for some than others to get a grip of the basics, but once you master them you'll be well on your way to passing.

Don't be so hard on yourself Davey just keep at it.

It's working for me Lea.

Argh lesson tomorrow. I hope it';s not raining... I haven't drove in the rain yet and don't wish too right now! I still can't drive on a dry road..let alone a soaking one!

Okayyy bit worried now. I tried to book it last night (well this morning) gone 12 midnight. As that's when my money comes it.. and I was doing it, got to the payment bit and it declined and said something... can't remember now, So I thoght it might have been cause my money hadn't gone in yet (I get paid on Thurs), have done it before at same time it worked.. so maybe they've blocked me :S:S:S ?? Possible????!?

I'll try again tomorrow, hopefully I'm making something out of nothing! haha. Otherwise I'll phoen.

Phone them up. They just ask the same questions as are on the online form. I had to phone them up because I couldn't book my test online, turned out that the test centre had moved to another location so the address on the internet was wrong.

Just thought I'd let you all know I have another test on Tuesday. Hopefully it will be 2nd time lucky. I hope I pass then I can have a baptism of fire driving to the Orthodontist 45 mins away by myself

I'll keep you informed....
