Yeah, thanks. I'm feeling a lot more confident this time round. Also, I had another look at my score sheet and realised that I had 16 fail items. All of them were for not removing my foot off the clutch. My score worked out to be 86%. Anyway, only five days to go..

Congratulations Chromatic! I too failed on my first go. I was really nervous though, that day couldn't have been any worse. I locked my keys in the car at one stage.. Anyway, I now have another booking for the 15th of July so hopefully then I pass! It seems unfair that all my friends have got...

Don't worry about it. The majority of my entries are over two hours. I do alot of traveling between states since my mother lives in one state while my father lives in another and the RTA said it was fine. When I went for my P's last week (I failed only because I was REALLY nervous and I was...

I had a driving lesson the other day and the instructor said that the proper way to change down gears is to brake, then change down a gear and then accelerate slowly. Also when coming up to a roundabout or corner to use the MISS technique. I think it stands for Mirrors Indicator Shoulder System...

Oh okay. That's how I originally learnt how to change gears but then an instructor told me otherwise so I stopped doing it. When you go down gears one by one, how do you stop it from jerking when you take your foot off the clutch? Do I need to go a bit slower before I change down or am I doing...

So you mean instead of doing that, I change from 4th to 3rd, take my foot off the clutch, then change to 2nd, take my foot off again etc.?

Thanks for taking me seriously. So what you're saying is, when I'm approaching the roundabout I should just use the brake, and when I've finished slowing down and almost near the actual roundabout I change gears? Straight from 4th to 2nd? And if there's a car coming from the right and I stop to...

I failed my P's today because of "clutch coasting and freewheeling" according to the instructor. She said that if I didn't do that I would have a near perfect score. Anyway, I asked her about it but she didn't give me a clear answer. What is it? I can't seem to find any information on it...

I'm not quite sure how I ended up on this site, but I understand how the OP feels. I'm actually going for my P's tomorrow afternoon. And yeah, I am quite nervous. But I've practiced parking and all that heaps and read the guide to the driving test book front to back quite a few times so I'm...
