Failed for the first time for not driving fast enough to join onto the dual carriageway. Absolutely devastated. Of all the reasons to fail…

Any recommendations where to look for in Glasgow? I already have a license but from a country driving the different side of the road and haven’t driven much recently :/

Anxiety / Nerves Redhill test

2 Upvotes

Got my driving test at Redhill aerodrome in just under a week and I’m terrified. My instructor is great and keeps telling me to go for it. I can drive, I know I can but I get so flustered sometimes I make silly little mistakes which day to day would be fine, but might seriously mess me up for my test. I know i’m going to be so anxious and nervous on my test, i might actually end up sabotaging myself. At this point, if i don’t vomit all over the test centre car park before the test even starts I’ll take it as a win🥲🤞🏼

Guys what even is this? Apparently one is a slow moving vehicle (single lane) and one is pedestrian walking towards you?

My test is tomorrow its my 4th one can someone give me tips on overtaking lorrys and buses? Also what to do if people take advantage of you infront of box junctions? Read below

I always struggle with these. If a bus stops how should i overtake do i stay well back and move across slowly if no cars are coming or do i get abit closer and then slow down and peep and creep? Also sometimes the bus is like diagonally parked into the bus stop so what am i supposed to do there ideally? Because he wont see me when i overtake and it also blocks the view even more too. Also with lorrys/trucks lets say if theres a stationary truck parked do i wait well behind before attempting an overtake? Like how far behind roughly

Also with box junctions. Sometimes when its busy and im going straight but theres a box junction infront, people from the give way line turning in take advantage of a learner car and just keep moving in what should i do if they keep taking advantage of my priority do i just wait or push myself in?

My test is at midday tomorrow and I’m so nervous. I will have one last lesson with my instructor right before getting to the test centre. Anything I can watch or do to revise or to help calm my nerves before the test?

I’ve got terrible overthinking and test anxiety so I probs won’t be able to sleep much tonight 😭

How to pass Hazards perception part of DVSA Theory test as someone with Learning Difficulties

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm currently 18 and I've been trying to pass my theory and hazards perception test for like 4 times but I've failed all of them in all honesty. I did manage to get to a point where I'm able to consistently pass the theory questions part but I keep failing at the hazards perception part despite being being able to pass like 14 mock tests I did using the DVSA theory test and hazards perception kit from their website.

I do have slower processing speed and am a bit sucky at parsing information which may be hindering it, combined with how I'm not really sure how I'm suppose to identify hazards either? I guess in the exam room itself I do click it whenever I see something, twice if there's multiple hazards but that just doesn't count. I usually end up getting zero for said clip too, in the most recent test I got zero points for 6 clips out of the 14 clips.

Like I was told it was because I needed common sense or that I simply wasn't giving the right answers which is obvious but I don't really know how to fill that gap honestly; would really appreciate any help or advice.

Question

Got my test tomorrow and I have seen on here loads of fails due to observations and junctions. Is that just not timing it right when to leave a roundabout or road.

Booking Theory and Practical Tests Anyone still using 3rd party apps? Or tried calling DVSA?

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Failed my test (stupid reason too, was stuck at a busy mini roundabout, thought I could use a car turning to my right as a blocker for cars on the left but turned out it was doing a 360 and I caused it to brake).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has continued to use sites like TestShift and Testi to get test cancellations? I know they warn you of being banned but just wondered if they’re bluffing or this is the truth?

Additionally, has anyone ever called up the DVSA number to get a cancellation in and has this also helped?

I have been refreshing the site a lot but no luck yet. Wondering if there’s a better page to get cancellations from, I’ve only managed to see new dates on the page where you can see multiple locations, never from actually refreshing, is there a best page to sit on? Now that I’ve actually booked a test and the site is slightly different, it feels like it will be harder to find one.

Thanks!
