Carol looked at the extensive lists of driving schools online, but was looking for something in particular, she knew that taking your driving test could be expensive as she had failed 3 times before, but felt sure she was ready, if only there was some way she could take adriving practice test for a cheaper rate than the real one at least then she could get into the swing of things.

It was not that Carolwas a bad driver it was just that she got nervous when it came to tests, she was finewhentaking her driving classes and even took extra classes toget her practice in even though the instructor said that her driving was not the problem, it was her confidence and that waswhen he suggested the driving practice test, but unfortunately the companyhe worked for did not offer them so she had to keep on going. After failing her driving test the last time she decidedon the advice of her friend to take a look online and type in the driving practice testwords into a search engine. She eventually came up with a couple of returned searches in her area and told them that she had taken many classes but also about her lack of confidence and of how she thought the practice test would help.

When she went on her firstpractice test, she was so nervous she felt sick to the stomach, but she persevered, determined her anxiety would not get the better of her.The practice test instructor was really nice, and they had spoken once she finished, but whentaking the practice test they had to treat it as though it was a real one so all had to be formal and this is what had made her nervous in the real driving tests. It took a while but over time Carol realised that there was nothing to beso worried about and her will to get her licence took over her fear.

On the day ofCarol'sreal driving test she thoughtpositive thoughts and did some breathing exercises she had been taught by a friend in order to stay calm and relaxed. To her delight she had stayed calm, unfortunately a bit too calm, she had gone straight through some red traffic lights, but she was too relaxed to worry about thefail this time. She knew she would go back and try again. Perseverance would get her there if it killed her.
