I have my driving test on thurs and I am a nervous wreck. This will be my 4th time. I am fine during lessons but go to bits on day of my test. The doctor has given me Beta Blockers to help and I will also try bach rescue remedy but can anyonee give me any advice? I really dont want to fail again.
Well sometimes on the first try you want pass, but it takes time and you know what they say practice makes perfect!! but anyway sometimes it takes time to be 100% safe. I was sure i was gonna pass the first time but i didn’t . Now i have to say i feel good operating a vehicle now so you go for it, all it takes is time, patience, and focus you can do it so try it.
wear rubberbands on your wrists and whenever you find yourself starting to freak out snap’em and bring yourself back to reality. (Little trick I learned from a fellow panic attack sufferer)
Take a practise spin around the parking lot with your parent or whoever is teaching you to drive just before the test. Make sure you have studied all the laws and that you are fully capable of executing all the desired techniques before you go in for testing.
If it helps you to relax, ask the licenser if it would be alright if you had the radio on very low. I did this on my test and passed with flying colors. Some don’t like it, but if it’s something that helps relax you and won’t distract you too much, it could be the one thing that helps.
look. just think for a moment…….. you can drive, or the instructor would not have put you in, the very fact you are shaky shows you are human, at least,. the doctor cannot help, unless he is on the test with you. the only person in that car wanting to pass the test is you, the only person that can pass that test is you. the examiner is not a monster or a god, he just looks at your skills, you have them allready , you just need to prove it on the day. just think what you are doing, and rememeber , M.S.P.S.L. they are very keen on this. take your time on manouvres. it is not a race track, the slower you go the more control of the clutch and gears you show to him. by slower i mean manouvres only. all the time on the test,THINK,
what can happen here, will he pull out, have i got the space, will that pedestrian step out, will he open the door, remember the less space the less speed.
