This is one for those that have passed, newly or otherwise. I passed at the end of May and got my car a couple of weeks after so I've been driving for about a month. I went on my longest drive yet today, from Stockport to Crosby which is about an hour (give or take, depending on the time of day).

We set off early so the roads were dead (the journey was 95% motorway driving) and the drive there felt easy. Coming back I took the wrong motorway (M58 instead of M57) but no big deal, satnav redirected us and it probably only added 10 minutes at most. There were speed restrictions in place for a fair bit of it coming back and obviously with it being Sunday afternoon it was busier than the morning but I felt I did okay again.

Obviously I'm still learning, especially motorway driving, so I was concentrating very hard and thought I did alright but towards the end I could feel the presence of a Golf around me, not because they were doing anything wrong, they were mainly behind hanging back if anything, and then as I was coming off at my junction near home I noticed that as it passed the passenger was peering to see who was driving my car and talking/reporting back to the driver. Clearly they wanted to know who the idiot was in the Clio (me) but I have no idea what I did wrong and it's nagging away at me. Lane discipline is my best guess as it was quite busy and I had to overtake someone in the inside land just before my exit as they we'd dropped down to below 40mph but even then I feel like I indicated well and didn't take any unnecessary risks.

I guess I'll never know what I did wrong but that means I can't fix it. I'm massively aware that it'll take some time to get up to proper standard and I'll be making mistakes for months yet, although hopefully less and less but I hate not knowing what it is I did wrong, and its overshadowing what I thought was an okay ride for my first proper motorway/longish distance journey. Did anyone else feel this way when they were doing the post-test learning to drive thing?
