spyro2000 Â Â 10 #4 Posted May 6, 2005 well im a firm believer that the examinors have a 'quota' of the amount of people that are 'allowed' to pass each day. And sometimes I think that the examinor more or less knows as soon as they see you wether they are going to pass you or not (not literally but sort fo) Â I passed on my 3rd attempt. Â 1st attempt) failed fair and square. 2nd attempt) Drove the perfect drive, yet still failed 3rd attempt) Drove the worst ive ever drove, then was shocked when she said ive passed.

Sorry if put you off a bit sony. I just read my post and it did sound a quite bad.  Although I do think there is some kind of quota, you still have to rive to the best of your ability and im sure if you dont give the examinor any reason to fail you then u will pass no matter what. I do think you need to have an element of luck though as with most things, and it does depend a small bit upon the examinor themself. Some examinors are known for passing people quite a lot while others are known for being quite harsh.  Just be calm, do your best and see what happens  GOOD LUCK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Birth-Peace   10 #11 Posted May 6, 2005 I asked my driving instructor a couple of months ago about the quota thing, and he said that it was definitely not true.   Just do your best Sony. Try not to get nervous and believe in yourself x x x   GOOD LUCK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Longcol   610 #12 Posted May 6, 2005 Buxton?  As hilly as Sheffield but a lot less traffic, unless you happen to be going near the big supermarket which is on road in from Sheffield.  Off the main roads it's very similar to Sheffield ie cars parked on both sides of road and only room for one car at a time to get through. Means some of the junctions can be a bit tricky as you can't always see all that far in either direction.   And whatever you do don't drive on the pedestrian precinct!  Good luck.
