"Great,finally I've got my driving license!"That was exactly how I felt when I finally pass my driving test.I remember the first day in learning how to drive a car was so nervous.Both of my shoulders were full of pain and I rememberI haven't smile during the whole first lesson.Oh,Yes...I was so afriad of cars passing by from the next link and got crazy with the traffic light,hand breaks,etc.That was all funny experience when I look back from now.I failed my first test and do you know what had happened for my second one?I was having a fever and I just felt like to quit.I took two panadol and went for this great test anyway.By the time I got there,I am alright and to my surprise,The route for my test was extremely easy.Because I was so sick that I didn't even have energy to be panic and I just want to finish my test.To my surprise,I passed the test and got my car license.Well,maybe your experience will be different,but tell us anyway. It may make us laugh or it may be a great encouragement for others.

Well it took me several years in order to get my licence. I couldn't pass the parrale parking as much as I tried.
I have gave up for a while and then tried again eventually I finally got it I was so excited that I finally passed.

Wow yes alot of places are different but yes with the P license it will make people more cautious and aware.
I hope you do end up getting your license you become more independent and free.
It takes a lot of practice just keep trying I failed more then once though I got it on my forth or fifth try Parallel parking is the toughest.
Good Luck you can do it.

All right.Yes,you are right as long as you keep up your persistance and you will get your license just like what you did.You know something ,Many people failed their first driving test but finanlly got their driving test.However ,there are some rules have been changed in my city.Anyone who got their license,still need to get a P license on the car for one year before he can get the permenent driving license.It is not easy to drive with the P license if you don't have enough skills and experience .Well,I hope to get my driving license in your country,that way will save my time to nget the permanent one. But still,i think the p license will reduce car accident since the new driver will be extremely caution in driving.

For me it took long, as I didn't have enough time to study for the theory test. Fortunately, when I took it, I passed it in the 1st try.
For the practic test, after a lot of practise, many kind of relaxing teas and pills, and a massage, I could pass it. It's great when one of the people who are going to take the exam knows how to do massages.

I took to a car like a fish to water. My father started to teach my to drive, my sister-in-law continued it, and my mother finished it. I would have gotten my license at 16, the legal age here, but I couldn't afford the Drivers-Ed course, which was well over 300 dollars. So I waited until I was 18 [this August] and took my test a few months after my 18th birthday. I passed the first time through, only missing 13 out of the 30 you're allowed to miss and still pass the test. I'm sure glad my mom let me practice so much with her! Though it was funny, I studied for a week for the written test, and I didn't even have to take one! When I got my picture taken for the license, they made me take my glasses off, and I have a huge goofy grin of excitement plastered on my face. So my picture looks pretty silly, haha! But I was so proud when I got it, I even jumped on my boyfriend when I got home, I was so happy.
My first thought when the lady told me I passed was this: "Great, now I have to take it aga- Wait. I passed?! I passed!" I was thrilled.

Here in the Philippines we don't need to take some driving test but we do need to get a license (of course). My dad is the one who taught me to drive and I learned really fast. When I was already allowed to drive on the road, I was really nervous with all the cars around and I drove really slow. But after months of driving, I was a lot better and I feel very confident driving already. It's just a matter of time and practice.

Thank you for your response.I agree with you that it is a matter of time and practice.I think the cars around us do make the new driver nervousbut the people on across the street and walk out in some blind spots are even more scary.Anyway,enjoy your driving and be a safe driver.Have a good day.
