JsMum Report post Posted December 12, 2009 I cant tell you how happy I am Its taken a lot of revising and revising, and at one time I didnt think I could do it, as Ive failed quite a few! However today I finally passed! we went to the shops today and J even helped with putting the shopping in the boot. It was great not having to carry heavy shopping home, as usually it is in the rain and walking as we often missed the bus! Having a car is going to make those situations a lot better. Its been an expensive task too, the money Ive spent we could of been to disney in America! but we knew we had to keep on trying and J wouldnt let me give up! I cant believe I did it.

JsMum Report post Posted December 15, 2009 Update, Well I drived to my next town today, absaloutly scared to death, but I did it, I drove to the Halfords because I picked up the Sat Nav, they fitted it and showed me how to use it, I dont know how I would of coped on the way back home as the weather was terrible, rain and it was also dark, I was absaloutly terrified, its a lot different driving soley with no instructer or examiner, but the sat nav was a god send, keeping in the right lane, and giving me early directions, I spent a bit more on the sat nav and bought the IQ as its the newest model. By heck its scary stuff this passing your test! JsMumxxxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mygifts1306 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Congratulations, I failed 7 times and changed instructors now and still learning, had to take another theory as the last one had expired... its a very dear as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JsMum Report post Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Congratulations, I failed 7 times and changed instructors now and still learning, had to take another theory as the last one had expired... its a very dear as well. Just keep trying, I thought I was never going to pass too, J wouldnt let me give up, the expence is an issue so I do understand, but that money will soon get swallowed up in keeping a car once you have passed, just keep chugging a way at it, you will pass one day, so dont give up. I had to have a private personal driving instructer so I didnt go with a driving school but family fund help with driving lessons and tests if you go with their aproved driving school bsm, so do look into the family fund, so anyone out their with a child with special needs and learning to drive is a issue remember family fund will help you with driving lessons.

Mandapanda Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Hi Jsmum Well done!! Learning to drive is one of the best things I've ever done. Freedom (well, if you can afford the petrol that is...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JsMum Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks mandapanda tell me about the cost of petrol, already had to fill the car again, hoping 20 quid will last me a bit longer this time, Im grounded anyway with all the ice, Im no way going out in this weather just having passed. Some more great news my new licence came today, that feels really official now that I have received the new red licence.
