i failed my 2nd driving test today , pretty pissed off coz my examiner said i was actaully a decent driver , yet i still fail...

basically it was on the three point turn , he made me do it in a narrow road and i was afraid of hitting the curb so i did it slowly in about 7 steers , wasnt like i hit the curb and didnt look , it was a perfectly good turn , but apparently they can only allow 5 or 6 max , idiots

6 minors other than that aswell


getting pissed off with spending so much money but you gotta keep going , else its a waste

roll on 3rd attempt!

Hi I failed my test yesterday. With 7 minors and 2 serious. The serious 1s were 4 steering, i was trying to get out of a small gap and over steered right at the begining of the test. I was so nervous i didn't even realise I'd done it and the 2nd 4 driving to close to parked cars but the narrow roads where 2 cars cant get thro and no gap what r u ment to do? THe examiner was nice, spoke and was really polite. i thought I had passed cuz I was so impressed wiv my overal driving considering my nerves. I thought I would of failed on my monouvers cuz I hated doing them on lessons and sometimes got them wrong but I flew through em. My instructor said he could of given me minors 4 what he failed me on but I dunno y he never. Makes me wonder if they do have a quota! Well got to wait 6 weeks for my next test.... Hoping I pass as already have a car and reallly wanna get init and drive on my own. I have 2 kids and on mway would be much easier. I was sooo frustrated yesterday after my test and I really feel i've let my family down. Im hoping I pass 2nd time. i must say 2 u all taking tests best of luck and stay calm, give yourself plenty of time for slowing down and make sure ur always glancing at your mirrors. x x

Passed first time today, The book they give you really annoys me.
Women better drivers? Maybe the majority over men but what about us good male drivers? Its so unfair :evil:

Here's advice for people who need it, If you are not confident, Don't act it, Act like your the balls! I'm a confident driver but not cocky, If you look relaxed and handle situations without screaming or looking anxious they will give you less to do, I had one minor fault overall.

Another tip is to keep them talking, Ask them how long they've been an examiner and what else they do ect, It really lowers their concentration, just like they try with you, asking what area you live and what you do in school.

Because I handled the car well and kept control of situations like letting traffic pass and going around stopped vehicles he knew I was a calm and confident driver and he didn't give me any more to do, 3 manuvers is all I had to do because of it, I messed up by misreading a sign (thought it said give way)

Hope that helps some people, And remember, Just like my mum said =P
If you fail its not the end of the world, so just relax

I think your examiner is taking the pi** it is called a turn in the road for a reason as long as you dont hit the kerb you should have been fine. The swines just want more money :evil:
