I was going to do Pass Plus but then just changed my mind.

Just kind of tought myself how to drive on motorways etc, I did a lot of lessons in the dark so that was nothing new.

As for country roads, the only reason they exist is to have fun on :lol:

I took the pass plus not long ago and you should definately go for it. The lessons are very casual seeing as the hard part i.e. test has already been taken and passed.. and though the motorway is obviously pretty daunting for the first few times, you will feel that much more relaxed with the safety of having your instructor sitting next to you keeping an eye out. At the end of the day it's more valuable driving experience under your belt, good stuff on passing by the way.

Thanks for all the replies and congrats, I have to say I am pretty chuffed and its cool you all seem to be for me too :D

I've driven to work on the motorway with the person who used to give me lifts to work, and she said she'll keep coming with me until im confident, it was so much better today though, I'm already getting used to the mirrors and distances etc. I think i'm pretty lucky to have her coming in with me, i know shes not an instructor, but its free!

Cant remember if I said congrats before, but I'll say it now to make sure

Congrats :D

Also, isn't it a bit mean to be congratulating when that poor lad is sitting dead in the car next to you :shock:
