Out of interest, why the 3 year break from driving??

I'm sure you'll be alright to be honest, just remember to drive like a complete gimp.

Cheers,
Grant

I always found a redbull and two paracetamol helped calm my nerves.

Ah right, haha I mis-read your original post mate... I thought you'd been banned for 3 years, was expecting a spectacular account of car chases, speeding, guns etc etc.

You will be fine mate,

I got banned for 5 years and got it back around 7 months ago. I was a wreck on the day of the test,had to do it in port glasgow where i had never been due to having to do an advanced test. Made a few mistakes due to the nervs as the instructor could tell,thought i had failed big time but i passed with 4 minors.

They just want to see you can drive propperly and safe!
