Answers:
I would advise you not to have your p plates on.
Other drivers beep you because they know you are a new driver,
I decided that I would rather be beeped cos they thought I was ignorant lol !!
Is there a route you have to do all the time ??
Learn that like the back of your hand before you drive elsewhere.
I'm guessing that you are stalling as you have a different car to the one you learned in.
I don't know if you are aware but all clutches are different, which would explain the stalling,
Do you know how many drivers that have been on the road for 30 years that make mistakes, loads I can tell you.

If you couldn't drive, you wouldn't have passed your test.

Get your man to take you out on the road at every given opportunity. Lazy sod! You'll soon get used to giving the finger to everyone who gives it to you! Ha!Would anyone care to share with me their driving test experiences?
Put 'P' plates on for a start.That way other road-users know you are inexperienced and a potential risk to them. They will not try to rush you or put you under too much pressure so you make mistakes.
As for the stalling and leaving indicators running, the stalling could be your seating position rather than not being in control.
The indicators normally cancel themselves these days so if they stay on longer than they should then i wouldn't really worry too much about it!

Use the green plates, then you won't get beebed at. People will keep their distance a bit more, and understand if it all goes wrong, just like a learner driver. With no plates, people will think you are an idiot, pissed up, or just lame, and understandably get peeved off. Do the right thing, use the plates. Ditch them when your ready.

don't worry after a few more weeks you'll have all your confidence, and you'll not be bothered about what other drivers think or whether they beep at you or not, just keep getting out there on your own and don't feel embarrassed you'll be surprised how many experienced drivers make silly mistakes or stall their carsWhat are the health and safety regulations in refuse collecting?

Hello, don't be put off by anyone, you passed didn't you..
so someone believes in you...
I passed my driving test when i was 46, 3rd time and it's made me a better driver because the more practise you have the more aware you are of what's around you. Everyone stalls even after yrs and the indicator been left on these are things that will stop after a time, don't worry.
Your partner believes in you and he's right, get out as much as you can on your own it will build your confidence. It's only after you pass your test that you really learn how to drive.
Well done! happy driving...
