I have my third test on June 6th.
Last time I didn't even do anything majorly wrong; 'apparently' I got too close to some parked cars even though I was crawling past them.
It makes me so angry, honestly, I just want to kick the examiner in the bollocks. The first guy I had was a fossil, and actually smiled when he told me I failed. I should have headbutted that mother's face into dust.
I know their full names!  |

|

I lived in the UK in the '70s and '80s and took my driver's test then. I can see that things haven't changed. It took me 3 times to pass and I had to medicate myself for nerves to finally pass. It may have been luck also, since the examiner told me he had a wife from Canada. I think there must be some sort of govt quota on how many new licensed drivers there can be each year to keep congestion down or something. The arbitrariness is just too weird. So don't take it personally if you don't pass.  |

iknow they say they don't have to fail so many in a day. i think there lying. They have no where to complain to either. I know i should have passed last time and think that they just don't want more on the roads. They have no solution to the problems but are quite happy to take our money. maybe if they tested everyone with a disscount rate every ten years then the bad ones would be struck of to make way for new drivers[/quote] |

For God sake!
Just failed my 3rd test, I was way more nervous that I have been before, and i lost control of the car 5 minutes into the test on a turn in the road. I had the same guy who failed me last time, he asked me the same questions about college and my job. So that made me a little angry, plus he commented on that i was taller than him, and guessed i was 5"9.. again! I was a little offended. I was going to give up after I hit the kerb, but then realised that I didn't fancy walking back to the test centre. Im going to give up for a month or so. Its just a piss take, ive spent over £1500 on lessons and tests, and by the time I take another one the price will go up again, I just wasted £56.50 on the test, £42 to hire the car = £98.50 down the drain for the same guy to tell me that I can't drive again. |

Hi ,I failed my first 2 tests .The first one the bitch failed me for not hitting 70mph on the dual carrigeway i was doing 65 ffs and she said ppl are using the road to get where their going fast not to be held up by me I felt so robbed as i only had 2 other minors.The second test i was so nervous i bounced off a kerb and i really did BOUNCE the examiner nearly flew out the side window he was a lovely man and said my over all driving was fine and i would have passed if i hadn't hit the kerb.Third test and i got the same guy ,he said "Do i know you ?.Have you taken a test with me before?"I explained i nearly ejected him out the window 2 weeks previously Anyways i passed third time after geting prescribed beta blockers for anxiety from my GP.Dont give up it will happen |

I failed my driving test for the 4th time today!
Ive tried Kalms to calm my nerves as i suffer from anxiety and panic etc.
It worked and i thought id drove really well
But i messed u my parallel park cuz i was nervous and it was busy and then failed for that. I took too long my examiner said!
I am fed up of failing and as i have car outside my house which i cant drive its really getting to me. I see people who pass first time and i just dont get it as some of them and worse drivers than me. Ive been learning for a year and half now
I dont know what to do anymore as it is really getting me down!
Anyone can help? x |
