I am in the United Kingdom's road test experience _ _ buckle mother Edith coagulation

(Preface: long wanted to write this article, has been trying to write well, because the feeling too much later became such a long-winded. I spend time writing, see officer please slowly, thank you for your time. ) In January, I finally passed a driving test on the United Kingdom official DVLA issued driver's license. This is really nothing to deserve it ceders – this is for the United Kingdom 6 years, after which lasted for nearly two years of formal training, bought on the road N-coach class, and her husband because driving mix countless times in the mouth, and attended the 2nd theory exam and 5 road test after, spent hundreds of fat (pounds) of results ... This for me this before in the country has many years experience of the "old drivers", is not what brilliance. But, Ah, however, do not overlook the fact that I was in a world in a traffic accident, one of the lowest rates in the United Kingdom through the road test. The United Kingdom official driver's license, for my personal life in the United Kingdom is an important turning point, but also in luck goes little let me on the United Kingdom's social, cultural and lifestyle have a deeper understanding. So, I'll record here, on the one hand, give yourself a memory, on the other hand to be participating in the driving test in grey are a reference. To get to the United Kingdom's license, you have to pass the theory test and the actual road test in two parts. First of all say that theory test. First as the traffic knowledge multiple choice test (Multiple Choice Test), involving a range of emergency treatment, basic traffic rules, security awareness, road sign recognition, vehicle maintenance, traffic regulations, and so on driving in the United Kingdom covers a driver needs knowledge and are likely to be encountered in all situations. The look book does do is easy. It is the second part of the simulation driving on dangerous situations occur quickly reflect testing (Hazard Perception Test) tricky technical and are relatively high, the first time I didn't pass on planting theory here, but then bought CD tried desperately to do title, is also very easy to score. Theory, then there is the participation in the road test, this is what I am going to say. Compared to the first two or three times the road test on the adoption of a wise man or "lucky man", my 5th through the food was great, but the difficulty of United Kingdom road test, the world famous, or in fact to prove it. United Kingdom media award-winning news on demand, TV has reported a 60-year-old woman from her 25-year-old when he began driving, nearly 40 years, and from the examination room 30 times, study and examination of money will have tens of thousands of pounds, the final exam or not; there is another lady got 23 years, spent thousands of pounds before passing; a young man, in the 4th road test could spot after failed to beat the examiner, the result being fined a few hundred pounds ... To me, her husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, great aunt guzi seven eight Auntie, neighbours, friends, colleagues, whether it be a few decades ago was the last few years on the road, but so far I haven't heard of who is the first road test is adopted (to me two smart people, for example, the detained for dad got 2 times, Bing got 3 times). In the United Kingdom of a number of public forums, complaining that his got a 5, 6, 7 ... Even 11 times, 12 times in there. This shows that the United Kingdom's road test is well known, famous place, a person rare, two or three times before too much more than is the fourth most, so then I also belong to one of the most. Road test before you visit vehicle check, and then go exam driving 45 minutes on the line, including the town centre, motorway, parking, parking, etc., each examiner hand has a table covering all aspects of the test, the examiner has detailed records of examinations performed by the questions and each candidate made a mistake. Errors are divided into small mistakes and big mistake. Big mistake, as long as there is a will not be able to pass the exam; small mistakes, as long as the same small mistakes committed three times is a big mistake, or different small mistakes accumulate 15 also is a big mistake. To tell the truth from the beginning I didn't put road test seriously. I am in the country since 1995 held a driver's license for many years, but ashamed that I was at home with "as" miankao (this is wrong), first get the license and then began coaching at the "wild" Idi Amin's guidance in the car. (Perhaps it is for this reason, God was later arranged for me in the United Kingdom in this way for a make-up exam, and that this compensation is 5 times)! 1996 official driving on the road from me, over the years, large and small car (car, bus, Jeep) I have had, a few small scratches, abrasions but not due, driving technology maturing, but didn't think that I am so unwittingly from my "Wild coach" learned that a standardized driving "excellent" bad habit. Closer to home, or to take this opportunity, and a look at my 5 road test experience. First, in a place less than 90 degrees, the face is just round the corner to the car, I try so hard to turn on the encounter along the way. In fact, the most fundamental reason is not familiar with the situation on the road, if you already know that was a point of the bend so small, you should directly into a slow turn. Also, this is just a test centre in less than one minute when mistakes, which is the first road test, nervous terror, pre-test bought 10 lesson, prepare to compare adequately, coach also I am very confident, but a trembling, dream moment smoke fly! for the second time, I did badly. Two big mistake, the first is inappropriate speed (speed limit 30 miles I opened 25, national standard speed 60 place I turn 50 and so on), the speed of the improper use of more than 3, countA big mistake; the second is a principle of the "road" big mistake – the turntable to export around the island where a little pressure the lane next to exercise. United Kingdom complex variety of central island, a little carelessness will make a mistake, for which I was lack of confidence. In the country, is not a simple crossroads, is elevated interchanges, went, simple more United Kingdom, where there is so much around the island? so this failure I complain. Third, a major mistake in an unmarked cross (not marked with the crossroads) did not stop after about watching. But since there is no indication, not familiar with the way I noticed that there are suddenly a crossroads? repeat, they are like normal crossroads that mark is not just fine, it's not obvious is fabricated to candidates in a tough spot? there is the examiner, looks like he is trying to take me to there and wait for me to commit this mistake, really feel a little grievances and began to realize that could pass road test more luck. Fourth, I think the mistake was the most wrong, it was not because of that I am in the point about looking around when reversing. God, the first three times on three backing this entry, I have this time to do so, without any problems, this time how not? I felt head have been shaking like a rattle, has also said that I look around enough. The most insidious thing is that this could be the cause of my current failed only reason — head shake enough this time??, I can't help, I fully understand why some people a few times didn't pass will have the spot baoda examiner, I was angry at the way that the examiner are entirely subjective discrimination (discrimination) and to talk to me before. I cannot understand, and coach, coach also said not to know what went wrong, I like this should have, just fortunate; and her husband on the eat in grilled outside and before the same each time saying "no, it means you are now driving on the road with his daughter is dangerous!" ... I want to cry no doors, remember that only the Bing unconditional on my side, on the phone said to comfort me also to the relevant Department wrote to inform the examination Center. By this time, I have been overwhelmed by a spiritual battle, trauma. Really, I don't care about the next can be passed, I care about is whether I will finally have a day of exams. I thought, I nearly 40 years of life lived through numerous tests and examinations, even in a foreign country, using strange language adds two Master degrees are down, I, I, but I was unable to hack this whose people have passed the test of the non-this really is a big joke to my pride was a great of combat, but cruel was that in the United Kingdom road test has nothing to do with whether the wisdom, has nothing to do with driving skill, has nothing to do with the life experiences, and has nothing to do with human feelings and relationships ...　However, apart from the safety awareness while driving, but also with the examiner's assertions, in other words associated with your own luck. Continue to study again, I feel like a purely in order to know this on their own story: I really got how many times can we pass? so that at the beginning of the flight before the new year, I have to reapply for the fifth time the road test. Fifth, I have nothing to really relax. I think some of the things you are required not to, because sometimes you not own master. The most helpless is nothing more than this State, no one can help you, no matter how hard can do, but this time all you can do is get yourself to God. I did not spend much money to buy more of course, since my coach told me that "no longer buy my course, I don't know if I could teach you anything," so he had to go to small buttons and Daniel reunion, I am in the company of her husband to go to practice before the exam twice. The sky road, just like usual normal play, I was pretty good, only it is in Reversing around a corner (corner back), and from the car around a lot, I strained to constantly stop waiting, intermediate has nearly met along the way, but I will come slowly pulling are the car, then I think this is yellow:! although with a nervous disposition, but open-back to the test center when I was very relaxed, already fifth? more than the 6th, 7th, n times what's what is so different? but this loveable lovely fifth merciful! did not let me down. In that moment, the mood, that kind of ecstasy, not that I exaggerate, for me, my life the most pleasant thing, not a husband every day was filled with deep feeling that love you, but the cold merciless female examiner at the moment said of the phrase "Mrs Whitfield, you ' ve passed ... however ..." when you hear in front of a Word, I instantly Ecstasy embrace her, do not know whether wept tears, I think even if not almost ... As for her "however ..." said those considerations behind, I desperately nodding, the rest of all for me is not important. Actually intermediate thought to curve the nation, like many others, with the domestic licence to Hong Kong to change our license and then in the United Kingdom direct miankao into United Kingdom license (around a lot of people is so dry, not only save money easy and, most importantly, do not toss also gas!), but then eventually didn't do this because, first, because the dead heart buckle Dad's stalwart, the second mostIt is important because: efforts to bring all these efforts, insist on so long, if they gave up, make your own psychological indeed, like a Kung Fu Master if in the same place we carefully Lok Ma, there will be an evil, so that the "must have" on their own examination of the persistent thoughts in mind, but not overwhelming, of ... So with my 5th road test experience. (At that time in taught me to drive my "Wild coach" Amin classmates now also in the United Kingdom, he had to change our license then replaced the United Kingdom's license in the United Kingdom last miankao won the official driver's license, but not in the United Kingdom on the crossing. The irony is that, in his cultivation, I used my "miankao" China driving license in China for nearly 10 years, now I'm on my way in the United Kingdom, and he was holding the "miankao" United Kingdom license did not dare in the United Kingdom Khao journey), I also realized that many. I think I have many years of experience in driving, consider yourself in China is already the old drivers, on the United Kingdom's road test with disdain, but I never thought it was the many years of driving experience, as well as the completely different pavement environment and social context of driving habits, is in the United Kingdom to take driver's license of the greatest obstacles. For example, in China, driving stress slowly, consider slowly open is safe, so there will be a one-stop "Ning does not get a second", while practicing principal practice when the car is driving skill, around the pile is a typical, in a wood piles located place precisely to avoid the post open; in the United Kingdom, practicing principal training car is all security-related driving awareness, not what you are comfortable driving, but suitable for driving too fast too slow will not work, you can back up once no more than a few times it doesn't matter, as long as security. Also, in the United Kingdom, indicated to Give Way in the blocks if you do not stop for lines, estimated by one second will soon have an accident; whereas in China, if you're a road car, honestly let you wait a day away. United Kingdom to become the world's traffic road safety one of the highest, because the United Kingdom's drivers "driving de" very good, go, go, let humility, very important fundamental to rigorous training and exams. Why United Kingdom road despite the very small but most of the vehicles can be ordered with riding speed? why do the vast majority of the United Kingdom are courtesy of drivers patience? that's rigorous training and examination results. Some mandatory, in your training and driving, it has potentially been instilled into your thoughts, as seen with complex residential, speed is not more than 30 miles, see school or playground signs immediately spin down to 20 miles on these concepts, has become a subconscious actions subconsciously unchangeable, through training and examinations, each one basic can be "safe driving" concept into the natural action and driving habits. There are a lot of people say that if you can in the United Kingdom through the road test, you can drive anywhere in the world, it is no exaggeration. On the one hand, the United Kingdom road test rigorously and fairly, on the other hand, the United Kingdom's surprisingly narrow streets (many streets narrow have barely passed a car traffic is averted), but almost no one is allowed to cars more rapidly, the turntable also more, plus the United Kingdom is the world's earliest use of motor vehicles, natural traffic rules and safety considerations more perfect. There are a lot of people say that if China has been driving experience, you can also drive anywhere in the world, which words were also is no exaggeration. China cars more crowded, tyranny, never quarreled, even if all is well in the road traffic on the road, be sure to watch out for the skilful stunts, everywhere, plus China like me get "miankao" license are plenty of drivers, even if you go pay careful, also can not guarantee the others would care. Do so, like I do, both in China and the driving experience, in the United Kingdom adopted the test of man hath not free driving around the world with almost a Superman? lol jokes. Home visits by driving test will no doubt make my return trip more comfortable. Back from domestic, DVLA sent a formal license already lay at home, this little with my photos of the pink card means that later in the day of her husband to work overtime, I no longer have to take my daughter in the United Kingdom the bleak cold or rainy medium buses, no longer have to let the rest of the morning with my husband to get me to work or on the phone long came to meet me, never bothered Bing bypass to meet me and my daughter went to children's Center, go to the streets, never want to go and get stuck with for traffic ... From then on be a freer self-reliant woman ... Treat every hard-won anything, everyone treasure United Kingdom driving license, because it really is hard to come by. Like feelings, the more they spend time throughtout effort is needed to get and maintain, the more you will find valuable, but also the more treasure; while casually handy, even then will find themselves rare,. Therefore, all on the side of things big and small, small, of, recklessness I now driving time will try to be careful and prudent humility, partly because I have been trained strictly, on the other hand it is worried about her as a novice, if, in its first two years was reduced to six minutes (driving time is 3 minutes) will be forfeited all start all over again (including the preparation of a driver's license, theory test and road test of all programs), but strong compliance stiffly, not like in domestic speeding down cards also can find acquaintances accommodation accommodation in United Kingdom the legal system as a computer program like mechanical society, I really can't find anything to be accommodated. Ladies and gentlemen, my career in the United Kingdom's driving!
