help ..... im taking my driving test on fri 13th any tips for controlling those nerves ?

Just think that you are paying the person that is examining your driving a great deal of money for them to tell you where to go and what to do in a type of gloryfied taxi service.

They appreciate nerves and stuff but they also expect you to make clear observations at all junctions and roundabouts and checking blind spots whenever you have been taught by your instructor to do so.

Relax!

Try taking some rescue remedy beforehand

First of all, if your examiner is anything like the one I had (and according to what other people have told me, the same as they've had), then he/she will be quite aloof and unfriendly. Don't take this personally and don't let it phase you; it seems it's just part of their job! Concentrate on the road and other traffic as hard as you can and you'll find he hardly notice him/her.

At the end of the day, just remember that your instructor wouldn't have told you to put in for your test if he/she didn't think you were capable of passing. You can do it, so don't let anything or anyone spoil it!

Good luck, please post back to let us know how you get on.
