I passed my practical on the fourth attempt, the first three being on manual cars.
Maybe think about autos, QoM. If I'd carried on trying in manuals I think I'd still be learning after so many years.
I don't think I was ready the first two times. I have more confidence and determination this time. Even he has noticed. All the other schools are full and I don't feel comfy with anyone else. Had one instructor once and we just didn't gel. That knocked my confidence majorly.
