Mirrors, mirrors, mirrors!  He can't use them enough!  My last instructor who I did the first four tests with never used to remind me about mirrors - I knew to look in them when I was indicating but that was about it.  My new instructor was CONSTANTLY on my case about mirrors.  Every time I brake, and that means every time my foot goes near the brake pedal I must look in the mirror first - every time I turn into a new road, I had to check in the mirror to see who was following me.....and so on - I had never had mirrors enforced on me so much and I really believed it helped as I felt like I was driving terribly on the day, but I did notice that out of nerves I was constantly looking in my mirror and I kept catching him watching me in his, so I must have impressed him with this!

Also, bit late now but my tip would be to get a young pretty female instructor.  My first instructor (of many years) was a plump, older gentleman with attitude, who had been known to ruck a few of the examiners at that test centre.  The latest one was a 28 year old girl and when she saw that I had been assigned to the chief examiner who fails everyone, she asked the other instructors why she always gets him - "coz he likes you ;-)" they all replied! ;-)

OOhh Well done - it took me 5 attempts too :D - It's one of the most life changing things that you can learn to do ( should be part of the national curriculum in schools I think :D)

Thanks very much for that, I've passed it on to my son.... and told him to pray the examiner is gay and likes "em with a beard! ;) :D

> It's one of the most life changing things that you can learn to do ( should be part of the national curriculum in schools I think )

I totally agree with you Yvonne. :)

Just to add (in case if libel ) my sons instructor isn't gay (well I assume not) ... but he has got a beard!  ;) 

Well done :-)
