Uh uh. Hope my driving hasn't deteriorated too much :D. Havent driven near to test standard this week. Bet my instructors gonna be hot on it too, he's like rainman when it comes to driving :p

anyone know what it really involves? I mean I know its motorway driving, bad weather conditions, country roads etc. But whats the process?

It's really easy mate. Really helps out as well i found. Made me alot more confident in my driving in tricky situations like a built up motorway and country driving.

I did mine over 2 days due to different reasons. Was pretty cool though. One day he took me into these really random one track country roads and just let me have a good drive. Pointing out hazards and that. Then we did some town driving in Guildford which tbh was just like my driving lessons. Then the next day we drove down the motorway to Gatwick and back and that was that. Saved a good amount on insurance as well iirc.

Just enjoy it mate, chances are he'll let you listen to the radio on the motorway and that.

I only did 2 out of the 3 lessons. He said I was so good I didnt need to do the third.

Maybe that explains why Im such a shit driver...

Thats pretty much exactly what i did today. Doing the motorway part on Tuesday. Today we just went round Guildford town centre which was pretty intense lol, with pedestrians stepping out onto the road, cars swerving round parked cars n such. Then went and did some country roads in Puttenham and round by the Hogsback brewery which was pretty cool:D.
