    30 lessons.

    First time - 1 minor.

    Best manouevre was the reversing round a corner, worst was parking. Full stop. Hate it.

    I forget the number of lessons I had but it must have been nearly 100. I was learning for over 18 months because I was stupid and let the arsehole driving instructor I had rip me off.

    I then changed to BSM best thing I ever did had a couple of lessons with the new guy and he put me straight in for a test. I failed it though got 1 serious and 5 minor. Totally messed up my Reverse round corner!!

    Put in for my second test a month later, got exactly the same examiner and manovers! but passed with 9 minors on the 6th Febuary 2007. Best thing I ever did!

    My favourite manuver was turn in the road because it was the easiest. I can honestley say that since I passed its the only one I've had to use. I've not reversed round the corner or in a bay once. Infact I reckon I've forgot how to do them. :rolleyes

    14 lessons, passed first time.

    I was lucky though as my dad used to let me practice with his car (him supervising) in a big empty car park and trading estate.

    I've had 8 lessons so far and doing quite well.

    Hopefully I'll be in for my test after around 20-25 lessons!

    I was surprising good at Reverse left, had it on all my tests and did it without fail, yet i hated it and was my worst manouver.

    Currently on 21. Gonna tell my instructor I want my practical booked soon 'cause he is a proper bellend and needs sorting out.

    My favourite manouevre is reversing round corners. :)
