john05+FollowLearning to Drive Is a Wallet-Buster NowLearning to drive in the UK used to be a rite of passage, but now it’s more like a marathon for your patience—and your bank account. Between crazy-long test wait times (think 20 weeks!), lesson prices that have shot up to £40+ an hour, and apps/bots snatching up test slots, getting your license is a total mission. Some people are dropping over £2k just to get on the road! Anyone else feel like passing your test is basically winning the lottery these days? #DrivingTest #UKLife #CostOfLiving #DrivingLessons #Relatable #Transportation141Share
Sean Clark+FollowBooking a Driving Test? Good Luck!Trying to book a driving test in the UK right now is wild—some people are waiting nearly 20 weeks just to get a slot! Learners are getting kicked off the site, bots are snatching up test dates, and some are paying double just to secure a spot. Even instructors are struggling to find available times for their students. The government says they’ll add more tests, but with examiner shortages, who knows if it’ll help? Anyone else stuck in this driving test nightmare? #DrivingTest #UKLearners #TestBacklog #DrivingStruggles #Relatable #Transportation90Share
oflynn+FollowBig day ahead — feeling excited and a little nervous too!I’m taking my driver’s test this Thursday in Indiana, and honestly, I’m pretty nervous. I've been practicing a lot, but the thought of a real examiner sitting next to me just adds extra pressure. 😅 If anyone has any last-minute tips, I’d love to hear them! What should I expect during the test? Are there any common mistakes I should watch out for? I've heard that staying calm, checking mirrors often, and really paying attention to stop signs can make a big difference. I’m excited to finally get my license, but the nerves are real! If you’ve already taken your test, what was something you wish you had known before you went in? 🚗 #DrivingTest #NewDriver #RoadTestTips #IndianaDriving #LearningToDrive61Share
john05+FollowDriving Test Waits Just Got Longer 😬If you’re waiting to book your driving test, brace yourself—those long waits aren’t ending anytime soon. The government’s plan to clear the backlog is running up to 8 months late, even with 10,000 extra tests a month. Some test centres have 24-week waits (yikes!), and bots are snatching up slots to resell. They’re trying overtime pay and more trainers, but the seven-week wait goal won’t happen until next summer at best. Anyone else feeling stuck on L plates forever? #DrivingTest #Backlog #LearnerDriver #UKNews #DrivingStruggles #Transportation50Share
