I have just repassed my test

I had my license revoked because i was caught speeding twice last summer. It gave me 6 points on my license, and under the new drivers act 6points in your first to years and you have to retake your test. So annoying because it was like two months until the 2 years were up and i had driven for 22months and never been done for speeding, then was done twice in 4 days!

Anyway... i had to retake my theory test and then practical. The hazard perception in the theory is stupid... but i think the new vehicle checks on the practical are a good idea they ask you things like how do you check the oil? where do you fill up the windscreen washer? etc.

When i oringally took my test it took me two attempts in SE london because i made a silly mistake on the first one, but i think failing made me a better river, because it meant i was less c0cky. When i did pass i got 6minors. When i retook my test a few weeks ago i did it in Swansea and got 5minors... so i guess my driving has improved one of the minors was for speeding though some people never learn
