Re: Learning to not drive

but I guess the main question has to be, do you feel safe enough, and confident enough to be able to drive to the best of your abilities? other questions like how serious is things like hand-eye co-ordination? do you feel the car is in control of you still especially as so long learning? how much do...

Re: Learning to not drive

Hi JohanMidas, what the examiner really wants to see is the simple hazard perception, like is the car going to overtake the cars on the opposite side of the road? are the cars in front going to stop for something going around the round-about, is the car 2 or 3 cars in front going to stop without war...

Re: Does anyone else prefer social networking?

I also prefer meeting people via social groups online, rather than in person I think it is more to do with the awkwardness, silence and anxiety.

Re: dyspraxic boyfriend getting very snappy

Re: DLA

As far as DLA goes, then it is only those already getting it will continue to for the next few years. but new claiments will automatically have to claim PIP.
