><" Failed my Driving test =(

[Puma]

Darnn.. so gay.. i got 13 Faults.. BUT then i did a serious fault which was signaling.. :@ i was keep on signalling right then left when am at the roundabout and going str8 ahead.. i feel so STUPID :@

[jesus]

haha thats a pretty silly thing to do rly. unlucky and good luck on your next one!

[Puma]

ino.. i feeel so stupid..

[jesus]

at least it will make you remember it for next time :)

[Puma]

yep! am positive i will pass next round.. but that lyk 1 month time =(

[e5]

unlucky :( Good luck though! Just concentrate ;).

[jesus]

unlucky :( Good luck though! Just concentrate ;).you say that but you dont know how hard it is to get everything just right, especially when you are under pressure

[e5]

Yeah I know I don't say it from experience but my cousin is learning to drive and she finds its fairly easy. I think maybe you shouldn't feel as much under pressure!

[jesus]

learning is the easy part ;)

[e5]

Whats the difference between the test and learning? In the test isn't all you do is put what you learnt to the test? :S

[jesus]

yeah, but if you get just one thing wrong (for example not looking in a mirror just once) then its an auto-fail. you are allowed minors but something like that you would get failed on, thats why its so hard.

[e5]

oh dear, do they check that much? :O
Then again somethings you do with thinking. like looking in mirrors and indicating.

[jesus]

course they do :S just wait til you start learning to drive you'll see what i mean.

[L!nK..]

When people are on a test, they kind of panic, and while you're learning to drive, you can panic and do a mistake, but not on both.

[Hurts]

aww unlucky, good luck for next time though. I hate the test day, :eusa_sile Mine is 3 weeks today, been canceled on the day, 4 times in a row lolol.

[Puma]

i really didnt panic on the test.. it was just the stupid signals that put me down =(

edit: HAHA am tryin to book mine for next month..

do you have to signal on the roundabout?

[Ostinato]

yeah, but if you get just one thing wrong (for example not looking in a mirror just once) then its an auto-fail. you are allowed minors but something like that you would get failed on, thats why its so hard.

No you don't.

Failing to look in a mirror is a minor - an auto-fail si like if you go up the kerb or something, or forget to signal somewhere important like a roundabout.

[GoldenMerc]

I know im going to struggle i always panic :(

[Ostinato]

I know im going to struggle i always panic :(

When is yours?

[GoldenMerc]

Well im not 17 yet ;P,
So i havent started but i rly dont want to fail 1st time but i think i will fail :(

[Metric.]

I got "dangerous use of a motor vehicle" on my test, which equals 10 points, all because I didn't look when I was backing up!

[superfly-dan]

Better luck next time...

[jesus]

No you don't.

Failing to look in a mirror is a minor - an auto-fail si like if you go up the kerb or something, or forget to signal somewhere important like a roundabout.yer but if you forget to look in mirrors etc wen ur doing a manoeuvre or summin like that thats a fail (or thats wot i got told)

[Puma]

do you have to signal on the roundabout?

yep i did..

[jesus]

not unless you're going forward is it? or just before your turning?

Think of your first as an experiment, you've had the experience of the pressure placed on you to pass first time.

I failed mine first time and like you was annoyed at myself and upset at the same time, 5 minors and then a really stupid major :$ and I was kicking myself as I knew I had done it, then rebooked and took it again 4 weeks later, only 3 minors and a pass :)

Learn from your mistake and good luck next time :)

[Azul]

I failed mine 3 times, before I passed. Don't worry about it! I used to get around 6 minors then 2 serious faults. It's all about keeping your nerve and concentrating! You'll get there.

[Alan_Carr]

lol ul, better luck next time bruv

[Frodo13.]

Im dreading learning to drive. I'm such a clumsy person, so I don't know how I will cope in a car.

[lew!]

i cant wait to learn to drive, i turn 17 in august, (not this aug lol) so my mates will be driving before me. well, learning to drive first.

[Antony]

It's your first time .. I wouldn't worry too much about it, I was the same, I got 2 serious & 4 minor faults on my first test, and I had the most senior examiner at the place.

Second time around, 2 weeks later, I got 2 minors and passed.

You will pass next time :P Don't let it get you down! - The majority of people pass 2nd or 3rd time.

[benjamin]

i can't wait to start learning
septemberrrrrr woop.

[Scania]

You can't want it that much if you think about it as you obviously never tried hard enough to fail :]

[jesus]

You can't want it that much if you think about it as you obviously never tried hard enough to fail :]i dont think he intended on failing...

he must have wanted to pass..

[chilloutrich]

dont worry there is always next time. its very easy to fail and extremely hard to pass sometimes. It all depends on your road experience and how long you have been practising for.

It took me 6 months to learn to drive, and i passed first time with 4 minors - lucky i thought. Just because you have fail doesnt mean all ends now, it is just a learning curve that you will know no for the future. good luck.

[Metric.]

On my driving test I took my moms yukon, which was the biggest mistake ever! at the end of the test you have to back into a parking spot next to the building, it was so hard!

[tdi]

I know how to drive, and I'm looking forward to my lessons. I'm dreading the test.

[:Firefox]

Had my first lesson on sunday, got my next one on sunday, didn't stall once and got up to 4th gear, instructor said we're on the main roads next lesson with lots of traffic :) Only my 2nd lesson.

[Puma]

Guys! rebooked my test.. 21st April.. wish me luck xD will get back to you guys on how i do :D

[FlyingJesus]

we usually have to do it in the instructors car in england :rolleyes:

You don't have to but it's probably better unless you've done a lot of driving in your own car. I've hardly been in mine because there isn't a lot of time when myself and my mum are both in, so I'll be doing mine in my instructor's car. Got my test booked for 15th May having failed the first time - got 13 minors and no majors which apparently can be a pass mark but he thought I was too chavvy so failed me lol

[shizzle]

Unlucky mate.

[Ostinato]

Mines is all booked :) :O :(

[Slowpoke]

Guys! rebooked my test.. 21st April.. wish me luck xD will get back to you guys on how i do :D

Good luck on passing this time! :)

[Turnip]

That is brilliant!

How did it go then? Fill us in :P

[GommeInc]

I PASSED WOOHOOOO =D OVER HAPPY :D
Wooo well done :D Did you get given some driving magazine?

[Antony]

Whats the difference between the test and learning? In the test isn't all you do is put what you learnt to the test? :S

It's harder when you have an examiner next to you, and are testing on how well you can do maneuvers etc. You are under a lot of pressure, plus, because you want it so much you are bound to be nervous :)

I passed my 2nd attempt with 2 minors, most of my mates, and people I've spoken to passed on their 2nd attempt, its much easier when you know what their like, mock tests dont really help either :P


I PASSED WOOHOOOO =D OVER HAPPY :D

Well done! :D

[bizzle]

good luk on this.

[Puma]

There are little things called nerves and pressure.

[Nereo]

I failed twice before eventually passing, now im the best driver there is....:P

[Instrumentals.]

Never get driven by a person who just passed as they haven't got hang of it yet.
My friend was driving on the motoway in herfordshire and he was talking to the next car at same time, but yeah his an ok driver now.
But congratulations anyway.

[scott]

Congrats on passing 2nd time :)
