Double congrats!! Fun coincidence... My instructor helped both my mother and father a long long time ago. They both passed on their first try. I did too (which was pretty much a miracle). My older brother had lessons somewhere else and passed on his second try. My younger brother went for the "family instructor" and passed on his first try. There really is a pattern with instructors, family and number of tries!
You will have so much fun driving. The first time alone in a car is a scary and weird experience with nobody able to correct you. But you'll do fine and have some amazing roadtrip adventures in the future!

Ahhh - I love that story! Your older brother should have kept the family tradition, he learned it the hard way :')
Yes, I might already do a 'solo drive' this week, but in Limburg in all the empty little streets and farmlands, so relatively stress-free and a good way to feel how it is to drive both without an instructor and in a different car than I'm now used to :D
Just make sure you drive in the flat area of Limburg ;)
When my brother started his lessons, my parents never thought about sending him to their old instructor. I postponed my lessons because I didn't feel like it, until my dad ran into his old instructor that told him he was still giving lessons in the area. Before I knew it, I was set up for my first lesson (how embarrassing). When my younger brother started his lessons, this family instructor had turned into the CBR celebrity. He had a first-attempt streak of a year at least. He was worried that my younger brother would ruin his streak so he gave him extra lessons and a test-exam before the real exam. I think he made a wise decision looking at the accidents my brother had after he got his license :D
Oh man - funny stories! Hahaha - smart move to make your brother go through some extra tests before 'the real thing' :')
