[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 81505"] First off, congratulations Webby. I took my licence inSA soon after I turned 18 and passed it first time(but then again I've been driving vehicles on the farm since I was 11) I had to do my licence here in England to and after 4 lessons from a driving school , and a couple with a mate of mine I passed that first time with only two errors! As for a good first car the only obvious suggestion I have is that it's small, cheap and not brand new. This might sound silly but it works - Trust me, things like this works for people like Tiger Woods and even Johnny Wilko uses similar techniques. At night time before you go to sleep, close your eyes and relax, then start off by imagining yourself on the day of the test, see yourself and the instructor get into the car and you doing the test while he instructs you what you need to do, imagine it all going perfectly, take special note about how calm you are and see yourself in the way that you would like to ideally complete the test. (obviously don't have to go into details about manoevres etc, just enough detail to recognise the positive outcome) then go to sleep. You will see the benefits when you actually take the test. Another technique you can use is smells. If you have a specific smell that evokes particular memories of safety and calmness you could have it in the car when you take the test. If you don't have a smell that brings memories to mind you could create one easily by having a specific smell around while doing the imagery exercise I told you about above. Of course none of this will work unless you practice as well. [/QUOTE]
