Well done!! Now for the next bit. My only advice on that would be to really use your mirrors. And on the gear change exercise, be very gentle with the clutch when slowing down.

spy:
Yep, real test coming soon!  Better have some lessons 1st tho eh! :D  Only had my assesment and an hours lesson so far.  

Off to cornwall with the caravan for a week and then mission on when i get back!  

Cheers,

Mike

Took mine about 5 years ago, failed first time as I was nervous as hell and rushing to get the test finished!!  Mirrors as mentioned are a must, even if you just move your head about a bit every now and then to look as if you are using them, make sure you brake early at junctions and down gear, and MY FAILURE was on the reversing into the 'garage' bit, if you have to shunt it make sure you put on the handbrake on in between selecting reverse and forward gears, I took mine in a Volvo FL6 (piece of ****) with a 6 speed box, 3 weeks later was driving a Magnum with 16 gears and 3 times bigger, they get easier, eventually you won't know any difference to driving a car (remember the first time you towed a trailer!)

Best of luck with the lessons and test (how much is it now, was £29 an hour when I did it)
