    My daughter passed her practical test last week. It took her three attempts, getting only one more question wrong that she should done. I think those tests are £25.00 a throw, so thats £75.00

    She has her driving test in June. Its £55.00 plus £34.00 for the driving instructor's time, totalling £89.00 :eeek

    Are you sure you don't mean the Theory?

    You get a theory and a practical.. Theory is the questions; practical is the driving around.

    I passed my theory first time, getting 48/50 :D I don't think my practical will be that hard though. I can drive perfectly and never **** up my manouevres.

    Oh, and ScunnySadAndy, we can have some pro evo matches without the online-ness. That means I get to rub it in your face man to man. :D

    DF.. don't underestimate it. I thought i could drive perfectly, but when i passed a couple of weeks ago i was 10x the driverthan i was when i took my first test.

    In my own experience, i could do all the manouvers etc perfect everytime, however it's your mental thoughts, are you looking? where? whats that old lady doing etc, which is exactly why i failed No1

    No, she has done her theory - £25.00. She is now in the process of booking her driving around test and thats £55.00 plus the driving instructor's time for taking her

    Got a driving lesson in an hour :Banana: Had about 10 or so back in September but had to stop because I couldn't afford it. Already passed my theory, so hopefully shouldn't be too long before I'm passed...

    Did you pass mate?

    I've got mine in 10 days time. Already bricking it just thinking about it! Couple more lessons until then, just a matter of driving around and killing time. Absolutely nailed all the manouvres and all that jazz, just need to get a bit more confident driving around town...

    As Dennis Norden once said, it'll be alright on the night!

    Isn't there something you can do where you pay for an intensive course and have lots of lessons as well as then taking your test in like the course or a month or something? I'm not to sure how much it costs though :hmmm

    You can go on a crash course where they are held a few places around the country (Blackpools the nearest in the north west I think) and you spend a weekend probably doing around 30 hours driving which costs 500 quid. Instructors don't recommend them though as it's just a quick pass and doesn't improve you as a driver. It is appropriately named. One of my mates has just done it and he's a terrible driver!
