im going to do it, but my bro already has his car insured, and they wont lower the price for him, so hes just going to do a few hours on the motorway with our instructor to get used to it.

Just hope it lowers my insurance more that the Ł140 im paying, lol.

Thanks!

well done matey, very good feeling that, have you been out on your own yet?

just take it steady and remember everything you've been taught, consider other people before you act, you'll be fine

out of interest how much training did you have?

Stop looking out for coppers!!, I was paranoid about the old bill when I passed and started to drive on my own, although legal just took a while to get used to it!

It took us both 50 lessons each (50 mins each) so about 40 hours altogether which aint TOOOO bad, it's cost enough though!

Congrats to you and your brother

My advice is just because you have passed your test does not mean your the next Colin McRae or Jackie Stewart. Just take it easy and you will be ok

you can get 15, on your 16th you fail.

Yeah it was weird first time. I thought, right, im going to drive all over to get used to it on my own. Drove for 2 mins and two of my mates were waiting in the bus stop, and i couldnt be evil, lol!

Thanks for the tips, and dont worry, im making sure i dont break the speed limit, got enough to worry about, lol.
