The Ultimate "Driving Test" Thread!

[LulaBug]

I failed again. Ladies, I am so embarrassed. I was 5-10 minutes in and we got stuck in a bit of traffic, all was going well so far. We got to the roundabout and for some insane reason, I thought it was safe to go when it wasn't and the examiner had to tell me to stop because I was at risk of getting into a crash. What the bloody hell???? Why did I go? I can only really put it down to the fact that I must have had some nerves or that due to lack of sleep, I made a really poor judgement call.

What kills me is that up to that point and after, my driving was practically spot on. I incurred only one minor so would have passed with flying colours.

OK, so consolation being that my driving has improved apart from that ******** decision I made. I knew it was game over as soon as it had happened but I just got on with the test and I got one minor.

The examiner was gutted to fail me, at the end even said "I have to ask, why on earth did you go at that roundabout, you had one minor had it not been for that, I'd have been really happy to pass you" Umm...yeah, cheers for that. But I could see his point.

So my driving has improved, the rescue remedy spray works wonders because even after I knew I'd failed, I just got on with it and didn't fall to pieces unlike last time when I was a complete wreck.

5th time lucky. If I move onto my second hand to count the tests I've had I'm not going to be impressed.

Oddly enough, I don't feel so upset or angry or whatever, I think I feel really happy that my driving has improved to that extent of getting one minor and am really hopeful that next time, I'll definitely do it. Also, I think I'm so used to failing now that I'm immune to the shock of it.

I didnt see your post, sorry.

I am really sorry chick but am glad you can take consolation in that you only got one minor. You can do it, and next time you will do it.

1 minor is fab, like you said the roundabout must have been nerves, or something to do with 1 hour sleep! have u ever done the test in the afternoon? maybe that would be better so you get more sleep? xxxx

 

[LulaBug]

Thanks ladies.

Yes Leafy, my 3rd test was an afternoon one and I struggled majorly with it. I'm definitely more suited to early morning tests, it was just really unfortunate that I ballsed up at that one roundabout.

2 days till mine and I feel SICK. I went out yesterday and was fine apart from parallel a bit to wide but that was it. Thing is, I think there is so much to remember, stop at stop signs, one way streets, junctions, dont block the junction box, double roundabouts, our test centre is right next to hospital so constantly having to pull aside for ambulances. It makes me feel panicky thinking about it. I cant keep on with lessons though if I am ready can I I never wanted to do a test, if my son was not disabled I would be quite happy not driving. My nerves will let me down I know it
