    Just wanted to ask a few questions, Had a prre-test yesterday and he said i was about 86% up to scratch hope its good enough.

    I'm crapping my pants and my minds gone blank

    Just when doing the turn about do i use my handbrake?????

    Checking mirror every 10-15 seconds is it the center one or the center and left & right????

    Last thing what points to look over shoulder????


    Cheeeeeeeeeeeers :(

    The most important thing is to calm down and relax.

    You should use your handbreak when stopped between manoerves.

    Look over your shoulder starting off, when moving moving away from the kerb and when alighting from the car.

    You don't have to check your mirrors every 10-15 seconds on the straight, whats happening ahead of you is more important. I tend to give them a sweep of all 3 maybe every 30-60 seconds.

    Don't mull over any mistakes you make during the test, they might not be as bad as you think.

    Best of luck!

    great to hear, just so everyone knows it's no where near as ad as it's made out to be, just calm the nerves, keep focused, do a pretest ( or a few) before the test and go for it.
