    I am about to have my 9th tonight.

    I really want to pass by November at latest.. my driving instructor said on average you need 30-35 hours. :(

    Might try do 4/5 hours a week from now on..

    it took me 6 tests and abround 50 lessons, I always messed up by making minor mistakes which turned into something failable lol, so be careful the first 10 minutes when your at your most nervous

    It doesn't matter how you pass though I suppose main part is when you pass that's when you learn most.

    I think it was Jeremy Clarkson that said if you fail your test more than twice you shouldn't be allowed to drive anymore and just take the bus. :laugh:

    I'm on around 25 lessons at the moment. Hopefully I'll be passed before christmas.

    Apply for one online, its about £45 now for a provisional I think, not too sure though, send off your passport to DVLA when they ask for it in e-mail, and they will send you your provisional around a week later, the site is direct.gov or something :thumb
