Hey guys,
So I have my driving test coming up, and I'm so nervous, so I was wondering whether anyone has any tips? And if you have failed your first time, what did you fail on?

Thankyou

To help with nerves here are a few things I do with my pupils to help relax them on test day http://www.drivingcrawley.co.uk/blog/dealing-with-test-day-nerves

In terms of any tips, have you been doing lessons with a driving instructor? If so, if they are a half decent instructor they would only send you to your test when you are ready to pass, to tell this you should be able to drive for at least an hour without your instructor offering ANY help (i.e. no little hints, no confirmation of your doubts etc.), if you are at this standard then you should have no problem with passing the test, that said people can make random mistakes on test, so there is no guarantee of a pass.

One of the best things you could do is simply relax.

Just think of the test as taking someone out for a drive.

That's what I did, and I completed the 40 minutes and passed with 2 minors first time.

The minors were for approaching a junction too quickly, and for steering (accidentally shifted the steering a bit when checking my blind spot while joining a dual carriageway).
