Good luck.. sure you will be fine. They wont put you forward for one unless they really think you are ready as it looks bad on the company if you don't pass first time.

I did it first time so I am sure you can too... remember to keep checking your mirrors and blindspots before you pull off etc as I know no end of people that fail simply for that.

You'll be fine. Go in confident but no C**ky and relaxed and you'll really enjoy it.

I'm retaking the test on about March 11th i think.

In northampton you now have to wait out a 9 week waiting list for practical tests, unless you ring everyday and ask about cancelations...

I honsetly havent ever got nervous for my bike or car tests. All you have to do is drive about a bit and if you're good enough you're aloud on the road, simple! The examiners i had were nice blokes and we had a good chat, i just felt like i was driving a friend around on my car test, i passed both tests 1st time. It really is all about nerves not ability - if you really weren't good enough to pass then your instructor wouldnt put you in for a test.

Location: Derby		Being an Instructor i see it all the time, just go for it and be positive, nerves will only f**k it up!! And most importantly if u think you have done something that has failed your test DONT GIVE UP!!!!!! it is the examiners discretion as to weather he 'overlooks' it, if the rest of the drive is good he may let you off. It does happen quite often, they do want you to pass, just up to them to decide if it was down to nerves.........
