driving

star

im planning to start learning how to drive by the end of this year.....

i just cannot wait to start learning, me and my younger brother are the

only ones left to learn how to drive,

i think its very important for everyone to learn espec the women..it comes in use when you least expect it,

before i wasnt to keen but i've realised how useful it is like today there was no-one present to drop my dad of to preston hospital...so my mum drove despite being a proper nervous driver...she doesnt normally drive much but there was no-one else. She started to panic when she got of the wrong junction on the moterway lol...and then nearly took the sign to south birmingham...but luckily naj used her brains and got her onto the M65..[b][size=7]hehehe[/size][/b]

how many people know how to drive here ?

how many are learning and planning to learn ? and who cant be bothered learning?

share your learning/driving experiences...

and the current 'invalid' insurance? Not talking about past activities...

The only problem with invalid insurance is that if you have an accident the insurance company won't pay out (esp. bad if you had an expensive car)

by looking at the previous pages im guessing most of you are still learning to drive

let me pass on my knowledge 8) , may be of some benefit

ok well i have discovered there are two aspects involved in passing tests , the first is the physical aspects (knowing how to drive) and the second is the psychological aspect (nerves/concentration)

personally i caught on quick and knew how to drive on my own by around my 20th lesson, you should make sure you know how to drive before you book your test, this is the job of the instructer and if you do not know how to drive by say your 30th lesson then change your instructor :!:

Then their is the psychological aspect 'NERVES' , this is the reason why i failed my first two tests 🙁 , and this is something your instructor cannot teach you, ive heard of people failling 5 , 7 sometimes even 10 times cuz they couldnt conquer their nerves.

well heres some tips from a 'future' psychologist 8) (inshallah)

you should have a affirmation , a phrase which you can recite to yourself to boost confidence and also mentally your subconcious will listen
mine was e.g. 'i am calm and confident in my driving test' , recite this in your head while you drive

also you could use breathing control , through 'stomach breathing', this is when you take a deep breath through your nose until your stomach inflates and then exhale through your mouth and your stomach deflates (normal breathing is done through the chest/lungs) it has been proven that 'stomach breatings' relaxes all your nerves and musles

in addition there are advanced techniques such as using 'Meridian points' , these are that there are certain acupressure points located around your body and by tapping these points all your bodys negative energy are released, so think about the reasons why you wont pass and all your anxieties then using your forefinger and middle finger tap on this points firmly , here are some anxiety releasing points,
- between your lower lip and chin
- below your eye in the centre
- top right hand side of your eye , at the end of the eyebrow
- corner of thumb and corner of the collorbone

for drastic measures there is Hypnotherapy

but i doubt anyone would need these last two steps they are probably for people with a phobia of driving, anyways an affirmation and stomach breathing is what got me to pass my test so i thought id pass on the knowledge

The best car I’ve driven and owned is an Audi A6 1.8 Turbo, I’ve sold the car but the new owner last name is Miah ! 🙂 and my Bhabi likes the car 😉

MuslimSister — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 - 22:12

The best (and only) car I’ve had is my darling Fiesta.

Someone dad knew offered to buy it the other day, offering more then what we brought it for. I didn’t want to sell it so, I didn’t wash/hoover the car, I blew out of proportion and exaggerated the cars faults…showed him the rust on the sides, the scuffs on the wheels…even told him that the car doesn’t change gear smoothly, the engine is faulty etc…and STILL he wanted to buy it. In the end I was honest with him and told him I didn’t want to sell.

There’s a lot of barakat in my two door car…the backseat can only accommodate three average weight adults or four skinny kids…I managed to squeeze in 7 people in my car today, 8 incl me.

Medarris — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 - 23:39

Daewoos are donkeys mashaALLAH.

Bought mine recently and tested it out on motorway - mashaALLAH good runner.

Went leeds n sheffield today. Mom wasnt too impressed with my speed :twisted: - but my philosophy is when a journey can take an hour n a half why take 2 hours to do it 😛 .

Cars are something I dont know much about - cept that the faster and more sick they look - the better 8)

Wow, even I haven't done this. Is this an asian thing? (fitting their extended family in a tiny car)....I've only seen asians doing this.

Med, my mates got a Daewoo. It's got loads of small dents and rude words scratched on it. He bought it cheap but spent some money fixing it.....and it's still causing him problems.

MuslimSisLilSis — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 - 20:06

not all Paki's are big on squeezing loadsa ppl in their car-

my dad is VERY strict on this-so are my uncles frm here and those back home

they NEVER EVER overload their car-even if it means some pply from family have to stay behind

i cant say refuse someone a lift-nor can my sister

someone i know-WHITE-muslim often squeezes many ppl in her car

two skinny adults can sit in her front passenger seat 😂

SO DONT GENERALISE :evil:

I think you can take a pic with your headscarf on, if that's what you're worried about.....or is it your face :twisted:

[color=magenta]no, not my face but my facial expression, i swear there isnt one decent picture of me,every single picture i tke im either laffing or my eyes are shut,i hte those passport size pic,some of them are so dodgy[/color]

yashmaki — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 - 14:43

lool rather than getting yours done in a booth sis go somewhere like Max Spielman coz they do it with a digi cam, so if it's not right they'll do it till it is, no money wasted.

Exquisite — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 - 19:59

[color=magenta]lolz,i wnt to my local chemist who do it n this short lady did it she didnt even capture my face,n it was a digital camera i hate pictures full stop[/color]

MuslimBro — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 - 21:43

After the woman in the chemist took your pic, didn't she show it you to make sure you like it, that's what the man in my local chemist always does. They can delete the pic and take it again if your eyes were closed or something.

Exquisite — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 - 10:20

[color=magenta]she did show me n i was strting to get annoyed, i had go back to sixth form cuz i wasnt meant to be out n then the woman drops the camera probz damaged it n i was like i dont have time for this,i stormed outso i didnt bother to return[/color]
