"Failed my driving test"

Boo hoo

Bit annoyed, only got 4 minors and did perfect manoeuvers.

Stayed out in right hand lane too long, bah.

Heh

I was turning right and trying to avoid a motorway sliproad, so I was right to stay over to the right. But on the road ahead I failed to come back in for a long time and failed because of it.

"normal driving position" my backside.

5 tests?

Bad Luck [------|--] Incompetence

;)

A bit, you say?

You should try failing it several times first, while also paying insurance on a car not even 10-years-old that just sits on your driveway because you cannot drive it...

Let me tell you; it don't get ANY cheaper any-way!

:P

Learning to drive is a complete rip-off. The theory test isn't really needed, I failed that first time, just passed the second time. So that was about £40, then I had to pay another £40 for my practical, plus I had to pay my instructor for the hour I was out on my test, as well as the practice before it. So that was another £32. Then I had to actually pay £12 to change my provisional licence to a full one. And once I get a car it's gonna leave a big gaping hole in my bank account. So yea, learning to drive is a bit of a rip-off.

:(

Why were you in the right-hand lane for 'too long'?

Yeah first.

The system is a complete sham. I bet once I've passed they'll make it easier again.

What about kids from extremely poor backgrounds?

If we're going for tallies, then, surely I have won of the highest for Practical Test Failures on these forums?

Since September '03, I've failed a total of 4 driving tests and I've got No.5 (which I believe will be different...) coming up exactly one-month from today's date.

First time, I was all-over-the-place and deserved to fail. Second time, one very serious mistake made the near-perfection elsewhere count for sod-all. Third time, I DESERVED to pass - if only it weren't for that fat, grotesque, miserable ageing cow who punished me for a white van-driver's cut-me-up-on-the-doube-miniroundabout error...! :@ And last time, at a different test centre, I deserved to fail - much like my first one, I was a headless chicken, without any real care, too, for some reason...


Is that your first failure SHEEPY? What was the situation really like?

I truly believe examiners are out to get you, simply because of the increasing number of drivers on the road. And yet, when they are there, 'doing wrong' the goverment is too lazy to do anything other than to craftily take their cash and stick it into their own back-pockets... :P :@

If only the fecking Goverment could actualy do something USEFUL for a change! I've heard older people blame such a rise in numbers on the number of immigrants strolling into our country every day...?

unlucky chester, some guy at work just failed his.

try, try again

I failed first time too, although to be honest it probably done me good.

Luckily i sat the test again only about 5 weeks after failing. I used my own car too, i felt a lot more comfortable.
