How many attempts to pass your driving test and what type of car did you pass it in?
 

Following on from Mr Bumps (snazy) ;) how many times did you take the driving test and what type of car did you learn/pass using?

Me I passed first time :)

Cars I learned in was a Mazda 121 (I think) A Mini Metro and a MK3 Ford Escort van (driving for work)

Passed the test in a Metro :)

Can you tell I'm bored? :D

I passed 1st time too, had 16 lessons in total and a Ford Fiesta :luxhello:

Actually I can see this being a pretty good thread even if you are bored ?

Passed first time after 10 lessons. I learnt in a Renault 5, though I did buy a car half way through my lessons which helped with additional practice. This was about 20 years ago.

Passed 2nd time in a Citroen AX

On loan mk2 astra gte 16v passed first time:wonder: :lol1:

2nd time in either an Austin or Morris 1300.........dark green. :D

Bike test 1st time:)

Car test 1st time:)

bike test, 1st time, age 17
car test, 8 lessons, passed 2nd time, age 18

long time ago

Tam, too late to se up a poll with passed on the 1st, 2nd, nth time?

Started learning in a MK3 Fiesta, changed to a new learner which was the same car. Learned in my Reno 5 with mum & dad and finally passed in a little Rover Metro. Took me 3 attempts, all the best drivers passed on their 3rd go ;)

I can't be bothered with polls, also I've forgotten how to do them! :D

Passed 1st time in a 1.1 Fiesta - which probably explains why I have such an expensive turbocharger habit these days :D

Took my test 2 months and 7 lessons after my 17th birthday (plus more than a few hours in my old mark 1 escort) first time pass. I leanred in a Micra and passed in an Astra.

2nd attempt - nissan micra.

Two in a car, when I was 18: I failed for 'hitting a curb' doing a three point turn, down a country lane, which didnt have curbs (it was a sunken sough grate). I passed my motorcycle test first time. Two for an HGV: despite a strong drive I failed with about 20 minors and a major for hesitating at a traffic light junction! If Id gone when he said that I should have, Id have have caused a massive RTA..... There were repercussions from this and my re-test was taken with the head examiner and I passed with only 4 minors (a "sh*t-hot drive"!). Both of the spurious failures were within the final three days of the month, so if I take any further tests I will ensure that theyre within the first two weeks of the month...

Mk2. Golf diesel. Honda MTX125 & a big f*ck-off 4over4 MAN!

I passed 1st attempt aged 17:smug: in my Hillman Imp:luvlove: .
Not bad for a car with no brakes. Fortunately the "emergency stop" was only in 2nd gear and going up hill, so it could just about manage it.

oi biatch, less of the name calling. Im going back to work next week lol.

Passed 1st time, 17 years old, in a Nissan Sunny, with a new clutch, on the first day of snow that year, fresh that morning........It was meant to be, lol.

Still speak to my instructor too :D

Passed 1st time in a 1986 Nissan Sunny 1.3GL in 1991.

Can't remember how many lessons I had, but remember a fair amount about my test itself. Not that it was a significant event or anything...

10.30am 16th January 1986 test ended with me passing in Farnborough, Hants. Examiner F.R. Vivian. Car was a red Ford Fiesta 1.1.

First time aged 17 in 1981 in a Datsun Sunny :D

It was snowing, Friday the 13th, in Ruislip..........bugger....the Examiner's name has just gone right out of my head.......began with 'S' :freak3:

Is that passing your test or losing something ? :lol1:

I took my test in Ruislip :D

That was the year before ;)

1985, first attempt in an Austin Maestro.

In the same car ? lol

Mannyo, bet you didnt forget your seatbelt did you... "please fasten your seatbelt" lol

Did you? :D

First time was in Slough.........no wonder I bleedin' failed! :lol1:

I took my car tests(s) in Ashbourne. At that time, they didnt have any roundabouts!

Yup, and I shall be driving through Ruislip in about 3 hours time.

I used to live in Pinner many years ago and Ruilsip was th nearest test centre.

I think the woman that took my test was a bit ill or knackered. I didn't have to do a hill start, or a three point turn. - I just had to drive around a bit (not once going through traffic lights), reverse round a corner, emergency stop - Job done.

The obvious answer is that she fancied me and wanted some PeteLove©

I took my test in South Norwood I think lol. Somewhere in Norwood anyway.
Was a cancellation given to me at the last minute, the instructor had had the clutch on the car changed the day before the test, and it was 9am on a snowy morning.
