Driving Lessons and Tests

Get as much practise as possible, the more you do something that is initially daunting, the less daunting it becomes. I'm autistic and I passed the test on my first attempt, my daughter, also autistic, passed last week (2nd attempt), so it can be done!

Golly, it took me three goes to finally pass, I was convinced I would fail that time too, I'd had a really horrible examiner the previous two times, he failed me once for refusing to do a manoover he'd asked me to do because I thought it was a trick question. It was late December, at primary school kicking out time and it had just started to snow, it was dusk and there were loads of cars about and kids running around all excited. He told me reverse around a corner, I refused as I thought it was an accident waiting to happen, I don't think any sane person would of attempted to do that given the conditions

On my test, a van was in front of me on an uphill road, when its back doors opened and large blue plastic barrels rolled out. I braked sharpish and the examiner said, "Well you've done your emergency stop".
