Use turn signals.
Make full stops.
Look both ways.
Wear your seatbelt.
Both hands on the wheel.
Relax. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Ealing, West London | | | I asked the examiner if I could start again after making a hash of reversing around a corner & he said yes, but I had only just started mucking it up and it was 23 years ago.
Relax as much as you can but pay attention to the road.
cheers & good luck |

Dan | The law requires you to wear seatbelts, but many people don't anyway.

The actual date that my birthday was supposed to be before was July 1st, but I went ahead and payed in advance and I was put into the class. They told me I can get my permit once I was 15 which is July 3rd.
