    Good luck ladies,

    During the test be clear with the instructor. I have been asked to park "somewhere" and couldn't see any place in front of me so I turned left to find a place and I was kind a told off doing that. I replied with the same manner as I couldn't see anything further.
    I still passed the test.
    So there is nothing to be afraid

    I bet there are a few horror stories out there for driving / driving tests, may be worth a thread of it's own??

    I pay $60 for an hour lesson, with an AA approved driver, but thats in Auckland, its probably cheaper elsewhere.

    Cheers

    My lessons are costing $60 but she says most people only need 5, with maybe one extra just before the test!

    When will you start lessons? Are you being taught by an instructor or family?




    I have a manic/nervous grin on my face for the whole lesson!

    You do have to do a theory test and if you get the road code book that will tell you all you need to know.

    Some sample questions here:

    Best of luck ladies! When I learnt to drive in the UK at the rip old age of 17yrs it took me 30 (yes 30!) lessons and three tests to pass! Just as well my Mum paid for most of it!

    Tia - when you pass you can come and visit me for coffee. Or if you don't want to come all the way we can meet half way.

    I've found a picture of the child safety harness which can be fitted if you need more than a middle lap belt:

    I can't work out yet if they can be fixed to any car - anyone know?

    Cheers
