yea, id just fall back into the whole "driving to pass the test" frame of mind, instead of the normal one
no, not a chance. i learnt to drive after i passed my test, all the stuff before was just learning how to pass a test. Like school, teaches you how to pass exams - not how to get by in life.
Id breeze through it the experience of being on your own on the road helps, you learn to look and be aware and looking around becomes second nature.
Not like on test day when you had to make sure the examiner noticed you were looking around, through mirrors etc

contradicting statements there.

yeah sure they'd love that, taking a test in a turbo cinq with buckets and harnesses etc
I very much doubt I would pass - I am a better driver obviously than when i passed
more confident etc, but I have habits that a examiner probably wouldnt approve of

you have no idea how true that is, and its the simple things you dont even think of
2 examples of this that i get each time i help my dad with his assesment drives are firstly, handbreak being used each time you come to a stop... i either hold it on the clutch or foot break, and secondly gear selection. worst one for this is something like round abouts that you had to stop at before entering, you are not supposed to change gear while going around them, so if your in first your supposed to stay in first, god thats hard to get to grips with again!

thats what gearbox i hae on my bravo... and first in a mitsubishi ccolt isnt a huge amount better... apparently you 'have' to be slow... err nooo, boot it, hammer it into second and get the front end breaking away, blip the throttle to get the arse out and jobs a goodun :devil:
i had thought sismilar... but thought better of posting it
I doubt I would be able to pass my test again unless I took a few lessons.
I can drive but I never liked the way you HAVE to drive for your test.
I got into some bad habits while learning to drive due to driving my mum's car around which almost cost me my pass.

i'm forcing myself to drive without crossing arms over the steering wheel, in anticipation of a course, it's hell!!!push,pull,push,pull...oh bugger
oh and not leaning an elbow on the door ledge.

Andy's so right about those nasty little habits you fall into again! I managed to stop things like crossing hands over when I was doing the advanced driving. It did take a bit of thought though.
Though on the gear changing thing, when I did my test (3 1/2 years ago), you could (and I was recommended to) change gear on a roundabout as long as you weren't turning at the time - so from first to second as you left the line, then stay in second as you go round it and up to third after you've left it.
