I think it's always a good move to make the usually po-faced examiners laugh. My advice would be, if you see an attractive girl shout, 'COR, HAVE A LOOK AT THE 'ARRIS ON THAT!' Then nudge him, wink, and say, 'Eh? Eh? I bet you would, mate. Eh? Eh? I said, I bet you would.'
Anyone who takes their test at Erith. Be careful if you are getting back to the test centre and the examiner takes you from back coming from Belverdere and you use the "Horse Roundabout" make sure you leave in the middle lane as the left lane if for turning left only. You will be failed if you take that left lane when going straight on regardless to how the rest of thest goes.
Anyone got any tips on driving? I always seem to be Sh*ting a brick, when I have my lessons?
Driving a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You've got to caress the sterling wheel. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention.

When I was learning many years ago my dad took me to car parks and off road areas just practicing the basic controls over and over again. The more the control of the car becomes instinctive the more confident you become. Means you only pay for lessons that help you to pass the test as opposed to paying for practice at driving. You need an understanding mate/relative though.

you'll relax into it. I was exactly the same, had to take a moment before i found my bite and set off. Then after a while it just becomes normal and it all clicks. It helps if you have a really relaxed and patient driving instructor like i did that i could just chat to while i drove.
Remember that passing a test doesn't mean you know how to drive, but that the examiner believes you are safe to continue to learn on your own!
Exactly this. Driving lessons teach you how to pass the test. Once you pass you actually start to learn to drive.
For sure, when you are on your own you don't have anybody sitting with you and thats's when you learn that you have to make every decision for yourself. You have to think what would your instuctor say to you right now.

You wanna know the secret to surviving driving? After you get where you're going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes.
I know, I know, it sounds crazy. Trust me, I've been doing it for nine years. Yes sir, better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee.
Passed second time in 1982, took the test at Belvedere. Back then the examiners were like ex-military officers, I had my test at 2.30, the examiners had all been in the pub next door and my examiner stunk of whiskey. Anyway off we went, we did all the manoeuvres and then went down the Thamesmead spine road, I was waiting for him to tell me to turn off, but he din't, we got all the way to Plumstead, then I realised he was asleep! So I pulled over and woke him up. He directed me back to the test centre and told me I had passed! So my tip is get the examiner shitfaced.
Mate that would have been funnier if you lifted the lid of the bonnet and rested your head on the steering wheel with your eyes closed ready for when he woke up.
