I passed first time. That's not a boast, because I should not really have passed - not with only 12 hours driving experience. And that is in itself an issue. Perhaps a minimum of, say, 72 hours logged experience before even applying for a test might reap rewards for everyone. ^^^ made me laugh. I passed my motorbike test first, which was very intensive and highly structured. My missus wrote-off her instructors car on the third lesson, last year. Examiners are only allowed to pass a certain number of candidates

It's already expensive enough for new drivers and you want them to have between £1,500 and £2,000 worth of lessons. If it was brought in they're not going to let your "logged experience" be signed off by a mate or a family member are they? I had 5 lessons, but I'd been driving a motorbike for a year already.
Optimistic as ever |

I recall failing my first motorbike test and shouting at the examiner as he jogged off back to the test centre. (he said I didn't use my mirrors) And I was a jammy bvgger passing my car test. (no lessons). Immediately after passing my test, I drove into town on my own, and went into a busy multi-storey car park. Where I nearly 5hat myself because I hadn't mastered hill starts. Nearly burnt the clutch out trying not to roll back into the car behind. I got the hang of it by the 4th floor.
