First time for me with 2 minor strokes, almost a clean sheet

I passed second and third time.

two out of three, not too shabby I think

Ive failed my ADI next test in september passed car + bike 1st time didnt have strokes in them days, just pass or fail at the end of your test

That could be a good thing Gord

1st time with only 4 months of practice

*The only royal mail driver that makes a sonic boom!!!*

first time after only 4 hours driving

1st time - 23rd December 1980 in a 1967 Hillman Imp

same with me 4 lessons (4hours)

First time just under 2 years ago with 6 minors! Clean sheet to date!

Passed 1st time! <does a little jig in honour of women drivers>

Should people who take say 5+ times to pass just not be allowed to drive as passing was obviously a fluke and they have no aptitude for driving?

Passed first time but with 9 minors

Makes you a better driver I say, you gotta pass with the highest number of minors!

First time here too, thought I'd failed as I saw him marking the sheet as I was driving out the car park but he was just writing my name

100% on that theory test too, only took a few minutes, bet it was harder than a A Level though

Failed twice when 18, too many bad habits picked up driving around on L Plates in my old 1200 Beetle. Couldn't afford to take test or have lessons again until I graduated from Uni. Got it second time around then, got in trouble though 'cos I got a job saying I had a licence, but I failed the week before I started
So had to go cap in hand on the first day and come clean, and passed it a week after

passed first time for the first and second time. no minors on second one four on the first one

Passed first time on the morning of September 11th 2001. My elation was somewhat tempered by the afternoon...

Si

Who on earth owns a Lex and passed on the fourth attempt?

ME!

, but year did you pass your driving test in? I passed in Feb 1997, 6 months after the introduction of the Theory Test.

August 1994 on the old system

2nd. time. First fail was because I was at the wrong test centre! It was 3 miles away. So I was late and it was classed as a fail !
That was back in the 70s. In a Cortina 1600E

Third time for me

I had a problem with jumping red lights.. and apparantley thats a stonewall fail

Passed first time and it was only 10 days after my 17th birthday!!
I only had three lessons too!!!

The only contreversial thing about this topic is this:

When learning for your driving test, the instructors teach you how to pass the test and not actually how to be a good driver so this is not always an indication of a good driver!

Somebody told me that one time and I thought it was fairly correct!!

passed first time - 08.08.1988

passed raf test in :-
landrover - 1st time
hgv 3 - 1st time
hgv 2 - 1st time
tac ops (fire engine test) - 1st time

First time for car in Feb 1985 without paid lessons
First time for bike in Oct 1995 after 3 day intensive

Passed 'bike' test first time 1965 on a Lambretta !!!!
Passed car test first time 1966 in a Hillman Minx!!!
My dad was manager at Putney BSM so I got free lessons - only drawback was I always had three other instructors in the car with me, two training, one teaching, it made for a few laffs I can tell you. Putney was where instructors were trained then.

1989 passed third time in car had cheif examiner for the first two and he failed me for hesitation twice, he just wanted to fail me.

2000 bike test passed 2nd time no minors 1st test appealled as reason for failling did not happen tester got moved away from test centre because i was not the only one to appeal but they never change a fail to a pass

It took me 3 attempts to pass my test

Passed after chatting to the instructor saying it was my 3rd go and it was needed for my job..........

So he passed me with 13 points (15 max) and said and I quote:

"Ok this time you have passed but I advise you to take some extra lessons and would advise doing a Pass Plus course"

Of Course I took his advice "Yeah sure bye!"

1st time.

Show off!!

Hello boys,

passed first time when I was 17, that seems so long ago now.

Also when I moved to Ireland for a year, i had insurance with hibernian na dhad to go on this one day intense course. for which I got 80% reduction on my insurance policy but it was still double what I was paying in UK.

First time - before the written tests. Think it was on my 18th birthday too!

But I had been driving 9 years before moving to the UK

I was born same year...

1st time for me... But didn't bother to get my liecense till i was 18 going on 19...

Since that day i've been in the 'money pitt'

First time June 4th 1996 with 4 minor faults

I passed 1st time 2 days after my 17th birthday, the examiner asked me how i learned to drive like that so quick, what i didnt tel him was that i'd been driving my mums Vauxhall Viva (no jokes!) since i was 15 but i did tel him i was practicing on private roads, like he believed me! Lol! 4 minor faults and 10 years ago, only ever had 3 points in 1995 for doin 60 in a 30 in my Escort RST, stupid and senseless at 17 a, clean since then tho.

I was caught once in my mums car driving it on my own 2 weeks before my 17th and wen i could take my test, i was in a bus lane! I was more scared of my mum than what the police were gonna say! Lol!

Also passed my PCV first time 5 years ago.

Goin for my ADI now. Anyone else doin ADI course on here?

Sorry for rambling on folks...Thats all!

clean sheet, day after my 17th been drivin tractors since age 8 was on the road at 16

first time no worries on my 17th bday.

First time and don't people hate me for it when i tell them...

But it was probably as much luck as well as skilled driving think i had 3 minors and you can get 5 is this right?
