"Ho-hum"

Failed my driving test, 7 minors (fine), 2 majors (ARG!).

Two stupid rubbish things PEOPLE DO THE WHOLE TIME.

Waa.

Rage, soothe my pain.

The one with the Garage on one side and Restaurant on the other? Nasty one that, if it is.

Seriously though, it may take you a while, but once you pass it will be worth it.

speaking of driving, some woman didn't check her F'ING! mirror today and nearly rammed me off the road, silly cow!

A little more practise, and I should have it really. Just annoying.

And costly - it's draining my Gap year savings badly.

I crashed once. But not on the way to my test. And it was completely the other guys fault. Idiot.

There's always someone worse off than you. For example, my mum failed her driving test four times and once crashed whilst driving to a test.

The mounting the curb thing is just plain picky. Pedestrians sometimes step onto the road, so it's only fair you get to drive on the pavement every now-and-then.

Unfortunately the other cars doing silly stuff is just life. That’s how it really is and you’re still expected to drive to the book. I’m sure you’ll pass soon enough. Just a bit more practice.

I went slightly (alright, yes, onto) on the kerb in a parallel park. Bah.

Then I was on a big roundabout with traffic lights. Somewhere on it, not sure where, I made some mistake in turning right and being in the wrong place. As far as I can tell.

I've had probably 20/25 lessons, with no private practise.

And all around me cars were f**king cutting each other up and over taking on corners. Ah well.

Nerves wise, I was fine. I just obviously lapsed slightly and made silly mistakes I neve had done before. I wasn't a gibbering wreck like I thought I would be.

I had 11 lessons. On the 11th I had a mock test in which I got 3 minors and one dangerous! I then passed my test first time a week later with 5 minors.

So you see, serious and dangerous faults are usually just a lapse all be it a serious one.

Mine was at some traffic lights. I wanted to turn right and so would be turning across any traffic on the opposite side that wanted to go straight. The set of lights used to only let one side of the crossroads go at a time, but little did I know that they had changed that and they now let two go. I pulled across in front of another car and my instructor screamed like a girl.

Don’t worry about it. Just means you need a little more practice or maybe the pressure and nerves effected your concentration.

What were the majors?
