2nd try at driving test tomorrow.... HELP!!

Right some of you may know I recently failed my driving test spectacularly! I'm sitting it again tomorrow, feeling a bit nervy, I've heard chewing gum during it helps with concentration, also eating a banana before it...... Is this all mad superstition stuff or do you guys have any tips / tricks of your own? I really want to pass this time!

I am not much help Kelly its years ago since I took mine and cant remember! Good luck for tomorrow I don't know how a banana would calm you down never heard of that xx

Lol, it's ment to help with attention and concentration!

keep calm and you be fine i'm sure

Oh I see I thought it maybe to put somewhere to stop excess wind from nerves!    

I once got told to have a couple of polo's before a job interview because it calms you down, sounds random but I always do it now and it does work! Maybe psychosomatic but who cares!

Good luck honey xx

Inez, trust you to have your mind in the gutter, lol! Saz y know what even if it is a placebo effect I don't care, if it works to keep me calm il try anything. Goin for a lavender bath then into bed to try and get an early night for once..... If I'm on here after ten ish  p,ease shout at me!

Me gutter how very dare you   
Aye have a nice relaxing bath and don't worry I will shout at you if its past your bed time   

try a couple of drops of rescue remedy,really helps calm you down,good luck x

Oh I have some of that for Nico, lol! Yeah il try that, cheers Stella xx

hope it works,i failed my test 1st time i was that nervous my foot on the clutch was shaking making the car kangeroo up the road  :lol:did pass 2nd time around,i'm sure you will do to   

Good Luck!   

Have a whiskey or 2 calm there nerves

Good luck!! My friend took rescue remedy to calm her nerves before hers! That's all Ivan offer, sorry. Understand the banana thing though, makes sense

Failed! Should have passed though, the guy said I didn't check my mirrors when I know I did after passing an accident. Oh and I got the hardest test route which I had to pull In on twice to let ambulances past.  Needless to say I'm a bit ragey!! 1 major ( not checking mirror on one occassion) 5 minors, agggghhhhhhhhh!!!

 ooo dear you do it next time xx

Aww hun don't worry put straight back in for it, I took 3 times so you will next time xxx

Yeah I've put back in for it already 

Ahhh try not to let it get to you! Totally understand the frustration but I know sooo many people that have taken loads of trys. It all depends on the situation on the day! xx

Yeah I know I'm gonna try and put it out of my mind now, just keep on with the lessons until the test again and not ruminate over it!  Thanks folks, wish I wasn't working tomorrow so I could go and get drunk! Xxxx

  

Sorry to hear that, keep trying. Next time exaggerate your head move to look in mirror, so they def see it.

So sorry to read that Kellie, try this tip above though, excellent advice and this is something my instractor was always telling me to do too, just make sure the examiner knows you are looking in your mirrors.

Also just before your set off for the test make a point of adjusting your rear view mirror then too, that way the examiner knows you are aware of the mirror.

Ugh thing is, he was looking in the side mirror back towards the accident instead of at me or the road, but yeah I defo will make it more exaggerated next time. Can't help but feel he was at fault though  ah well what can you do eh?

Aww hun I'm sorry, you were really close though by the sounds of it so next time will be a doddle   xxx

Sorry to hear that, it was this time 2 yrs ago that I did my response driving course, I kept getting picked up on for mirrors I was looking but not easy for the instructors to see your eyes move.

They never said anything when I was doing the commentary drives tho so might feel a bit odd but nowt to lose by muttering under your breath what you are doing.

sorry you did'nt pass lovey   sure you will next time around x
