passing your test these days is so hard i was lucky to pass first time. all i did was speak to the guy for the whole 50mins hehe

Swings and roundabouts. Whilst, if the details given are accurate, this example seems rather harsh, I've seen people get minors for what I'm certain would have been a fail back when I took my "old style" test in the 80s.

Thanks robmiller for your helpful advise. Can I ask, whether you're a driving instructor yourself? I know the above is general stuff which we should already know, but the way you explained it was very...textbook style (in a good way).

Probably not? Hes only 18.

What is this "make progress" thing? I know I got marked for that, but what exactly is it?

You know when the bingo club has a garla night and the road gets clogged with Nissan micras? Well its the oposite of that.

And you know when you see other cars on the road at 7:15 in the morning, especially the vans in white? Well they are doing whats called 'making progress'.

I only passed my test a few months ago, it's still in my head from when my instructor drilled it there

I failed once for not making progress, didnt go down a 2lane town road with parked cars on my side an ****-off busses piling up the other side! These days its progress thats emphasised, and thats no bad thing, whilst on occasion itll lead to an accident, you'll notice that most people you sit behind silently cursing are not recent passees. Now obviously theres degree of boy racer in this, i mean young people are hardly notorious for slow driving, however when we are 40 something and older i would hope that we are comfortable with driving at or near limits without exceeding them (much ) and that our kids and their kids and the kids of those kids can be involved in motor accidents worthy of spectatorship! Or at least not get stuck behind another generation of "miss daisys"
