Twice now. Maybe third time lucky? It was for me - don't give up !

Would one of those intensive driving courses that let you keep testing until you pass help? I believe they are best for nervous but competent drivers.

I couldn't afford it to be honest, honey. My parents (who are hard up themselves) had to lend me the money (though they later said it was a gift, of which I am very grateful) to pay for some lessons after my first test leading to the second and pay for my instructors fee for the test (they paid this both times, actually ...) which is £50. I'm now having to re-evaluate my finances and my Dad said he may be able to give me some money to put towards lessons but I think I may have to use my next wages (on which I was hoping to pay for a holiday with ) for driving. Oh well; we're in recession. Cannot be helped.

It is such a shame you cant get blitzed on gin beforehand.

What might be a good idea is to put your L plates on the car of anyone who will let you drive around just for the practice and to get your confidence back .

I think I'd probably forget if I had the rest, and the holiday's set to be in July if we do it.

You poor old thing Barra I passed my first test the second time when I was 18, and then I was too scared to drive for 2 years (good old Moots, typical ) until I got a Saturday job to which I had to drive. I hadn't really forgotten much in the interim.

If I fail again (here's hoping I don't) I may consider a break.

Doesn't sound right to me, tho its been a "few" years since i got mine lol I guess you need a form of ID? but wouldn't think just a passport - you didn't misread the section where it asks for a passport photo did you lol
