Less than 24hrs to be road legal(ish) in a TVR

[racegirl]

Well, at 11.41am tomorrow, I advise anyone in Sutton in Ashfield to vacate the roads for a good 40 minutes. It's driving test day for me, and yes, i'm REALLY nervous. I drive fine, and handle all the manouvers spot on, but, when I make a LITTLE mistake, like forgetting to look in my blind spot, I fall to bits. Advise very welcome on handling this situation! Thanks xx

Would love to offer advise, however seeing as the instructor stopped and asked if i was ok i was so green with terror im not the best to get advice from.

Best of luck to you though.

Ha ha ha..... you'll be fine!

No chance of hitting me as I'm about 3 million miles south of you

The worst numpties are the ones who have been driving for decades and have more bad habits than they've had hot dinners (not signalling, pulling out in front of cars, bikes etc, changing lane without looking in mirrors etc.)

A newly qualified driver (which you will be by lunchtime tomorrow) is probably more safe than anyone !!

Best of luck.

PS. You owe me a pint if you don't pass 1st time

[raceboy]

And if you think you're going out in my car your even madder than I thought
Good luck with it though,

[racegirl]

Sorry, did I forget to mention i had 3 tests when i was 18/19?? ;o

[g4ry13]

Good luck, everyone's offered good advice just remember to stay calm and you'll be fine

Learn the correct use of the phrase "sod it".

Missed your blind spot, no accident, sod it, carry on.

And don't try and read what the examiner is writing, i got a minor fault for doing it.

Good luck! Remember a bad decision is better than no decision at all (My brother failed twice through hesitating).

[racegirl]

Yep, hesitaion could be a good excuse to fail, trying to think of good ones, cause if the worst comes to the worst I need a good reason to tell Raceboy or he will take the p*ss!

I'm not accepting any crappy reasons to fail, if your going to fail make it due to something good, crashing into the test centre, running the examiner over on the way there (or crashing into him on his way to work)

[racegirl]

good one!

U go girl.......

[andyf007]

What is it with you wimmin'? ......Housework not good enough for you or something? If you need to go somewhere, like shopping, I'm sure Raceboy will be only too pleased to drive you. And you can put any childish notions of driving TVR's right out of your pretty little head too, they were designed for men not girls.

{There, if that doesn't inspire her to pass, nothing will}

Job done

P.S. Don't relax too much and just imagine that you are chaffeuring the guy round. You'll be fine.

Don’t go too slow! If you on a dual carriage way and doing 50, you should be doing 70, if the right hand lane is full and doing about 52mph, It doesn’t matter, they expect you to 'make adequate progress'

That accounts for quite a bit - never had a serious crash my @rse

Hey, stop twisting my words And I have not had a serious crash whilst I have been driving

I just can't believe the sexism, like woman shouldn't drive TVR's. I have thrashed the chim around donington, fast, but safe, and 130mph down Duxford runway! All without a license so i must be half decent or Raceboy wouldn't have let me?

I think Raceboy was biased, did anyone else let you use their cars?
