So that diddn't work...
Parents organised a new windscreen for me as the previous one had a beefy chip just inside the wiper line, and i was told by my instructor that it could be deemed "unsafe", and my examiner could refuse to take me out if he was being grumpy... £60 windscreen excess, and a brand new windscreen... YAY!... until after three hours of driving the new windscreen accumulates a chip and i have to call the autoglass man out again... he's on his way, and hopefully this windscreen should last me until my test at 10:15 tomorrow

.
i'll let you know how I get on

gahh I failed... xD.
Aparrantly, I only made one mistake in the entire test... no minors for anything else, but ended up in the wrong lane at a big roundabout...
Minor for misreading the sign (not sure if he thought i diddn't even see it, either way...)
Because of that, was in the wrong lane... Minor for lane discipline...
Realised i was in the wrong lane, and heading for the M11, so i did a ninja-quick mirror check, which i don't think he was satisfied with, so i got a minor for mirror use.
Then i thought "F**k, i'm going onto the M11..." so I checked i wasn't gonna hit anything and pulled into the other lane just before i hit the sliproad... might have cut up a 206, but i HAD checked i wasn't gonna run him off the road... got a major for that

.
Have rebooked test, and will tell you how that goes after... hopefully i won't have bad luck if nobody knows i'm doing a test

lol, on your test you have to over exagerate everything, and if you find yourself i n the wrong lane the go the wrong way if you chop and cup people up youl fail, where as if you continue to go the wrong way they will just redirect you, my test was awful i was in a real bad mood speeding and all sorts still passed apparently cause i corrected my mistake the instructor also tried talking but cause i really wasnt in a good mood i told him id rather not discuss it... supprised he didnt fail me for being so rude... i did apologise after he passed me though

.
but about yours though dont dwell on it just concentrate on your next... no love lost no love found right ?

Well Done.
All the good feelings from passing then finding out the price of insurance soon makes them fade
