Smile Passed my Driving Test!!!!

So, so happy, just passed my driving test on the 5TH ATTEMPT today, after nearly 10 years of lessons!!!

The first 4 times I was just absolutely crippled with nerves, to me a driving test is an SA-er's worst nightmare, with literally every move you make being observed. Today though, I took 1/3rd of a 10mg Beta Blocker (!) and felt reasonably calm throughout - do you think this amount actually has any effect or was it just the placebo effect? Either way, I did it, and I'm really proud of myself. Now I've just got to stop driving around town for long enough to actually get some work done!

Congratulations on passing your test. The freedom a car gives you is incredible.

Have you already got a car or do you have your eye on a new one?

Aaah thanks for all your congrats everyone!

I used to walk everywhere, now of course I DRIVE (even to drop my daughter off to nursery, about a 3 minute walk away). Bit worried I'm going to turn into a big blimp, but ho -hum. To anyone struggling to pass their test, all I can say is if I can do it ANYONE can.

Cheers everyone
