    I just wanted to say that I first tried to get my licence all the way back in 2016. I was using your videos a ton along with other supplemental materials back then. I didn't manage to pass within my first two tests, and then life took over and the goal of getting my licence took a back seat... Fast forward to this year with COVID-19 I found myself with a bunch of extra free time so I decided to try and get back into it, and using your videos once again along with hours and hours of practice.. I managed to finally get a hold of my own driver's licence! Just wanted to say thanks so much, absolutely could not have done it without your videos. And to anyone reading this, I started learning when I was 18 and got my licence now at 23, with a total of four tests. Take as much time as you need :)

Because people told me they would help me and its been a delay because of family members not able to or just didn’t want to. Is there anybody I can go to that’s willing to help? Where would I go to get some more practice? I’ve been to a drivers school before for 6 lessons and they told me that somebody needed to practice with me and that’s the problem. Nobody in my life right now is comfortable too. Any advice? Thank you so much! ❤️🙏

    Interesting video, in the UK if it snows then you driving test will most likely be cancelled and you have to wait until another available date shows up, I had my test cancelled on the 19th next available date is the 6th of april, only other way to try and get a closer date is to get up at 6am and hammer their website every 5 mins hoping a new slot opens up, 1 inch of snow or less and even if the main roads are clear, the side roads may have snow on them which would mean that all tests are cancelled for day absolute joke.
