I PASSED MY TEST!!!

Thanks to John's lucky moose boxer shorts, much finger-crossing on Sandy's part, a series of lessons with my kick-ass instructor Glen, and lots and lots of mirror-checking.

I've really done it - I've passed my UK driving test. I didn't pass with flying colo(u)rs, but I made it.

WOOHOO!

It was raining cats and dogs for the entire time I was out on the test (and then cleared up for the rest of the day), and I made random mistakes and discovered a whole bunch of Bury neighborhoods I'd never seen before.

SO relieved.
