Hey all, so I passed! Sorry taken me a bit long to get back on here and let you know how it all went!

I had a lady following me in a cage, with a walkie talkie round my neck that had an earpiece so I could hear her instructions. They've had a new earpiece since my restricted test, only one time I wasn't sure what she said, but she said it twice so I was all good!

A bit of tootling round residential streets in one little area of Napier, would have looked a mess on a map but we had left and right turns, some give ways and some stop signs. All basic stuff! Then I got the 'begin moving hazard observation' instruction. This was based through an intersection, and I just had to observe moving hazards, not seemingly stationery ones, so that was good. I had two of these sections and had to pull over when she asked me to, so I could tell her what I saw. Easy peasy! My 2nd had no moving hazards lol. Then it was cross a busy road and further along, do a U-turn, don't put your foot on the ground, don't forget all the indicating, and checking over your shoulder! (I remembered them all this time

).. then out into a 100km zone, nothing special here, just don't speed, back into town, all over rover! It wasn't even a full hour, after going back to the depot to get my wee slip of new license, I was back at work before the hour was up!

I felt impending doom after going past a school and not remembering if schools have special limits, but no, they dont, only school buses. I asked her at the end, and she said just ride to the conditions around them, eg lots of activity, slow down

Yahoo!!! No more friggin tests!
