Would these two have made a crazy couple?
They'd have been like the Mary and John from Father Ted fighting over the Crunchie's in the car.

I'm sharing this to see if it helps anybody.
I first did a handful of lessons in 2014 when I was 21.
At the time money was tight, I didn't have access to a car, help was kind of offered but it was messy. I didn't click with my instrudtor.
I was about two lessons in. On a busy main road and he was texting and organising lessons. He was also very barky with me and didn't really explain things. However he is highly sought after. It may have been me.
I honestly thought I'd never drive.
Then in 2020, decided to get driving again.
However due to Covid my car was basically parked up for months.
I basically got on the road in the Summer of 2021. Practiced a good but of gears in a field. Started my lessons with a new instructor. He was very calm, funny and explained the bitting point to me very well. I often said I was going automatic. I was good with mirros, rules, indicators.
I did my first test in July 2022. Got 10 grade twos. I stalled the car at the start of the test and another driving instructor basically followed me around to show his student a test and I found it off putting. I also spent ages coming out of junctions.
I reapplied walking to the car from the test center. I did my next test in October. I took my left turns a bit wide because I got a bit nervous of hitting the kerb and passed a few weeks shy of my 30th Birthday.
If you think you'll never drive never give up.
If anybody has any questions feel free to ask.
