Default Newbie saying hello

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd say hello as I'm new to the org .
Passed my theory on thursday and am looking to get an SV (I'll have to part with my mx bike to fund it ) after I pass my A2 test

I'm in Woking, Surrey near guildford. Are there many peeps down in this part of the country?

Josh

Yup...relax....relax.....relax.....relax....plus, get your instructor to take you through as many U-Turn practices as possible. My test involved doing U-Turn and emergency stop first.....after that was easy as just had to ride and watch Obs etc.

Hello and Welcome to the Mad House that is the .org

tips for your test are take your time and relax, make sure you move your head when looking in your mirrors so that the tester knows you ARE looking, also move your head when looking at all side streets so the tester knows you ARE looking. Oh relax some more.

Cheers. I took some rescue remedy before my driving test a few weeks ago and that went well so I might do the same again to keep any nerves to a minimum
