Woohoo!! :Punk: Just passed my restricted test with no problems. I did exactly what people here said (use exaggerated head movements, check every side street) and that went down a treat. A couple of times I wasn't 100% sure what she was saying but made a guess - there's really only a few things she could have been saying and I guessed on the 80k stretch it was 'turn right' and not 'turn round' (which is what I thought I heard).

Anyways... Good luck to anyone else about to sit their restricted. It is indeed no big challenge... practice your u-turns and you'll be sweeeet.

Have put the route of my test here incase anyone is interested:

So happy I can FINALLY go over 70kph. :innocent:

Well it was pretty much the route, but seeing it was three years ago - no promises now. :innocent:

And yes - 5 X Roads.
