Thread: Good Luck Darklight (Teri)

I just wanted to wish you good luck Teri today on your driving test.

I know you will breeze through.



Do let me know when you get back and we can have one big Voda Party.

I'm post this now as I reckon you'll pass no worries. Good luck Though!

Oi!! lol. Paul! Thank you sooo much! This is going to make it so much harder if i fail lol. Im not really holding out too much hope that I pass to be honest. Nerves always get the best of me. If my anxiety kicks in- im finished. So im trying to treat it as a normal lesson. But yeah, I wont be too bothered if I fail, so party either way! lol
Thank you Paul :) You rock!

Teri

Teri, I used to be a Driving Instructor
so forget all about your nerves and just imagine that
the examiner is Paul sitting beside you and just drive the way that
you have been taught and the rest will be a breeze.

Remember, the examiner WANTS you to pass and will ignore small mistakes as long as he or she can see that you can drive safely.

So relax and enjoy yourself................................

All the best Teri, I know what you mean, I just had my driver licence not long ago.
All the best.

Good advice from David, I just really thought "If I do I do, if I don't I don't"

Steve davies the world champion snooker player was once asked how He handled the pressure of finals etc...He said "Always play like it means nothing, when it means everything" I took that on my test and passed.

No pressure here Teri, pass or fail your still the same person the brightens up the forum.

Good Luck

Paul

I PASSED Yayyyyyyy! lol Thank you guys!

Teri

Congratulations, and celebrations.............well done indeed.....Yippeeeee

Congratulations Teri!
Good on you!

Look out world ... Teri is coming through, lol

Teri, When you have come down from cloud nine......

might I suggest that you now go back to your driving instructor
and ask him for a couple of lessons on how to drive!!!!

Learning to drive on how to pass the test and learning how to drive in todays world can be two different things.........

I freestyle lesson in town and another on a moterway will do you the power of good......enjoy.

Wayyyyyyyyy to Go Teri well done..............

Yipppeeeee lets go for a spin.

*Puts ***** and safety helmet on*

David- I will be doing the pass plus with her soon. Which is motorway stuff. It will lower my insurance. Woo!

Paul- Mate come down and we will go round the block! lol
Thanks again guys!

Congratulations!

Congrtulations, you need to also get some lessons on how to deal with the idots out there, that have forgotten how to drive, and not get road rage!!
Have fun, now that you are free.

Congratulations Teri........

Really well done!
I would hate to go through my driving test nowadays.
My car test/exam took about 1 hour in total.
Motorcycle exam was half this.
PSV (Public service vehicle) took a bit longer with lots of training .
I personally love driving (Just not near London) & preferably not in the UK. lol

Congrats and well done Teri .......

Thanks everyone! Still hasnt sunk in that ive passed! lol.
Collectors-info - I know what you mean. I live not all that far from London and the roads here are totally horrid. Im actually getting a bit freaked out that I will be driving around without my instructor there!

Again- thanks everyone!

Teri

Wont take you long to get used to & I am sure we wont see you for a few days. (enjoy)
Unless you are supper wealthy? Treat yourself to a nice old/small/1000cc, but safe car for the 1st year & get that NCB down. If you have a small knock with a garden wall, you won’t have to worry about claiming if it’s an old banger.

Only my thoughts as I hate giving money to the parasites called insurance companies. Lol

I wont be getting a car for a while. Until I really need to. At the minute, I will be using my mums car. She called the insurance company today and it will cost £125 extra for me to be insured til this July (Which is when her insurance needs to be renewed) Then I have nooo clue how much it will be for an entire year. But yeah, has to be better than going on my own. That will be over £1000. *screams*

Hi, I’m not in any way saying to do this. But we were away last year on the bikes, & a couple of young fellows joined the group for this long weekend away.
Neither one was insured? Premiums for the year on a 800cc bike for a 19 year old was £1400.00, & he did quite a bit of shopping around to get it this low.
The morel of this story is there is a max fine of £600 if pulled by the police & being found without insurance.

PS. Make sure your mums NCB is protected if you have a knock.

Yeah I will check that with her. I think she is, but cant remember. You would have thought that the damn fine would be more than that! but oh well lol. Mum wont even let me drive in a damn empty car park to get the feel of the car. grr lol. Do you think the fine is different from a car to a bike?

Have to remember that most insurance companies are quite often influenced by people with a lot of clout.(Large Share holders & the law)
Now about 15/20 years ago a system was introduced into the insurance systems where a percentage of all insurance policies go’s into a slush fund, so that if I had an accident with a none insured driver, my policy would claim from the slush fund, so hopefully I wasn’t out of pocket.
If the courts raised this fine to a high level, I think less people would take the chance of not being insured. Then the insurance companies may have to abolish the slush fund.
They make far to much money from this slush fund to want this to happen, & I bet some of the share holders are the ones that make these laws???

Me cynical? Yep!.

Paul- Mate come down and we will go round the block! lol

Sorry I could not make it Teri? I was erm washing my hair.......

So where have you been then?

lol Paul. Ive been nowhere. Not insured yet! Mum will put me on her insurance Tuesday. (Hopefully). Cant wait to start driving though lol.

Tuesday hey...Wait a minute that's today!!

Funny really Teri when I passed my test I used to just drive around for hours, well just because I could really. Now I am always trying to get out of it : )

But it gives you so much more freedom....Enjoy!!

Thats what I feel like doing now lol. Buut A) there is too much traffic. B) Im still not insured! lol. Mum is doing it now. Or trying to lol.

CONGRATS TERI!!...great going on your driving test.

Congratulations! I passed my test xx years ago and can still remember the jubilation and freedom I felt! Well done!

By the way, I hope the suggestion that the fine was cheaper than the insurance wasn't encouragement for not having insurance?? Luckily when an idiot crashed into my car a few years ago at least he was insured and I got my car repaired. I think it is criminal to drive around in a potential lethal weapon and not be able to cover any damage you cause!!

And bikers? Yeah, I've passed my bike test too - the level of insurance is to discourage inexperienced users from taking on a bike too big for them to handle before they know what they are doing.

Sorry, sound ancient I know, but if all drivers were insured and drove a little safer all our insurance premiums would be lower!

Thanks Trish! Dont worry, it hasnt. I would never do that! Best to be safe than sorry. For the first time today, I drove mums car. I didnt like it at all! I miss my driving instructors car :( I actually texted her today telling her I want her car lol.

It always takes a while to get used to a new car, but you'll soon feel at home with it!

Take care and have lots of fun. Independence is great!
