Now you've passed you have the joy of spending the next 10 years learning how to drive properly! And by that I don't mean speed or driving lines, but anticipation, mechanical sympathy, courtesy, relaxation etc.

Anyone who has been driving for less than 10 years who claims they have sufficient anticipation is WRONG. Most, if not all of ALL drivers who claim to have sufficient anticipation are also WRONG.

Another tip: Get on a skidpan with an approved driver trainer for at least half a day, and also spend a month on a motorcycle (not a moped). Until you have done these things the best you can hope to be on the roads is merely adequate and only a semi-major risk to all other road users, incl pedestrians.

I think your WRONG there Tristan. I can say with great confidence that i am a good driver on the road, and i dont mean that to sound cocky.
I haven't spent the time on a motorbike, but i have on a bike and there's not really much of a difference when it comes to car drivers observation skills. The amount of times i have nearly been taken clean off my bike just because of people not using their mirrors!
I'd say i can read the traffic and road ahead very well, i'd say i'm a curious driver and patient most of the time.

10 years is a large margin. Maybe 4 or 5 years is a better time span.

I've been driving for just under a year now (and drivern around 7k). I'd like to think I am a decent driver, I have good awareness which has come from many years of cycling and also from being on a motorbike. I understand how a car handles closeish to the limit but if I stepped over the mark I don't know how I would react which is why I want to go on a advanced dricers course.

My advice is take ur time, don't let other road users get on your nerves and mostly enjoy it. Sometimes there isn't nothing better than a long driver down your favourite roads with your music on.

Thanks guy's,the most worrying things is for me are the small and simple thing's like forgetting to indicate etc

I decided not to post about this last week, but I also got my real license last week, wednesday. Passed my theory and practical exam the first time, only got a note for defensive driving, but I don't really care about that one.

It's strange driving with people nexto you, with my temporary license I could only drive alone or with my parents (anyone above 24 + a license). I'm not always paying that much attention, lately had a few just missed someone situations. Not really my fault though (of course not ). But overall I'm pretty aware of what's happening around me and what's coming up next. I already learned to drive a bit more careful, especially because my car is a drunk, it drinks too much!
