Trust me, Alvena, practice makes perfect… you obviously can’t be that rubbish, if your driving instructor put you forward for a driving test in the first place! Identify what points you failed on last time and focus on improving these… now that you’re driving again after a long break, it may take some time to get the hang of it again, but you’ll get there eventually, just have a bit of faith in yourself girl!
