went in for my driving theory test yesterday and...

banter general discussions etc

I PASSED !!!!!!!!!!!!

after 2 years of the missus going on at me to go in for it and me making all types of excuses over not taking it i passed first time.

i was dreading the hazard perception test as i have the cd and after over a few hundred times of doing mock exams i only ever passed it once.

the results where stated as

i needed 43 correct answers out of 50 for the multiple choice and i got 49 correct.

and

i needed 44 points out of 75 for the hazard perception and i got 52 points.


so yer feeling pretty good today and just need to get the cash and take some lessons by a proper instructor and then go in for my test, im hoping to have it all done and passed by june which is when the new baby is due.
