I've just signed up to take the advanced driving test and I'm starting to worry!
Has anyone who has taken their test got any advice?
Trying not to cross my hands when manoeuvring and sticking rigidly to the speed limits is proving the hardest part! how rigid are the testers when it comes to certain driving habbits?
Of course I still to town/urban speed limits anyway but on the motorway sticking to 70mph and leaving almost 100 yards distance between the car in front is almost impossible. You constantly have cars closing up the gap in front or sitting 2 inches from your rear bumper. Not to mention how venerable it can feel when crawling past lorries or being sandwiched in between them in the inside lane!
I really don’t think half my fellow inside and middle lane drivers actually realise that they are driving at all!!
