I passed my practical test the first time! Yay! I was so nervous though but had a good feeling - did a couple of minor mistakes (misjudged the direction of a car on a huge roundabout and nearly got in his way but luckily I'm still too slow in starting moving so timed it perfectly :D and then near the very end stalled, twice...) I also think I was extremely lucky: the show me tell me questions where how do use the horn and how do you know if the brakes are ok before driving... Then the special manouver was bay parking. First thing before driving away :) And we were already in the space so just drive out and back in :) Easy peasy. For some reason I was expecting a 3point turn or parallel parking too whenever we stopped anywhere but the rest of the test was just driving around :) And then getting the results was exilirating :)
And we have a car. Perfect right? Well not in the UK. Here you also have to get insured on everything and everyone and just blaaaah. Oh did I mention it is hella expensive especially if it is your first time...
So found the cheapest quote, sounded good, they even said it would be a bit cheaper if I waited a month after getting my license. Ok no problem, I'm in no hurry anyway. Then 2! days before the policy was supposed to start they called asking for further documents... (it'd been a couple of weeks since they took the money upfront...), ok sent them straight away. Then they came back saying I need a black box to get the insurance!!! Are you kidding me? You didn't say anything about it the first time we spoke or even when you accepted my money for it! WTF?!?!?
Then luckily (fingers crossed) we found a smaller firm that offered my insurance even cheaper and wheeey no black box needed!! :) It should start Monday, if nothing goes wrong...
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
