27th September 2007 test day

Well after the last week I have decided today is the last lesson I will have with this ADI as he seems to be putting me down whenever possible up til now I haven't thought much about this test as I just want it over so I can enjoy driving again either solo or with another ADI the one I had before this one has said he mite be back doing lessons soon so I mite be able to go back with him. Only now am I starting to hope I do pass again but trying to think of having more lessons with my last ADI again so I wont be too keen to pass like I was 1st time tho doesn't work much.

Practice parallel park to death in hour before test Get it ok a few times other times bit wide started too close or far from parked car straightening up bit soon. then drive to test centre I make one car slow down on roundabout other than that its ok.

Test starts eyesight same car as last time so get it right 1st time. I get asked the oil question and power steering. Drive out of test centre everything ok not very busy I do junctions the way I know best leaving clutch down til I check if its safe. Do hill start get turn in road that goes well no minors. Not totally sure of every roads speed limit so when not sure stay at 30mph stop to let cars pass on other side of road cos cars parked on my side but road was wide enough to carry on so got minor. Every awkward junction or lane change there were no cars about so no problem with them. Got back to test centre had to bay park I thought I'd passed til then so it all depended on this one bay park if I passed or not. I sat willing myself to get it right. Full lock where I thought it should be nearly in and wasn't sure if I was straight so went forward to straighten up and then relised I'd not done a single observation so had look all round and reversed straight and parked well. Then I'm told I'd PASSED. I proved my ADI wrong and felt so god about it.
