Driving Test.

Roy

Hi, my youngest son keeps taking driving tests and not passing, we are 99% sure  he has ADHD, he was expelled from school when 13, the school couldn’t handle his outbursts. He drives very well, when at the test his anxiety goes off the scale, he sits in the car shaking, I’ve tried everything I can think of, I even took him to a test centre on a country route. Unfortunately his theory test has now expired so we are now on test 3 of that. He really needs to drive, he is now 21 and can progress at work a lot with a license. There is a box on the application for special requirements, unfortunately he is not officially diagnosed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

  • I was able to pass, on a standard, 16 years ago; aged 28. (16 Years ago this July) But it was Hell getting through the test. Now, Cookstown is far busier, and more chaotic on the road. On Monday, there was a young girl doing her test who was hit at a dual mini roundabout. I heard about it in the Art Class I attended on Wednesday night.

    Even, this afternoon, I drove to Portadown to head to The Range. I was on the wrong lane at traffic lights, but was able to get on the correct lane; just in time. Belfast would be even worse for me, the Taxi Men are forever giving off at those in the wrong lane.

    Perhaps your son needs time before he is ready to pass. Perhaps, he should drink chamomile tea, before the test, to calm his nerves.
