I took my second driving test on friday 21st December 07, and im pleased to say i passed.
i failed my first one on a parrallel park, and i got 9 minors.
this time i passed and and only got 2 minors, im well chuffed!
a word of advice though to all those thinking they should give up..DONT! i promice you, u will do it, surely if u fail 8 times, the 9th time u could pass, and surely thats betta than not driving at all. when u leave the house for your lesson b4 the test, think to your self, "i will do this today, i have a right to do this just like everyone else," and if neone wishes u luck say "i dont need it, im gonna pass!"
B4 my test i listened to a song that really encouraged me to do something that makes me proud, (HEATHER SMALL, PROUD) its is the best song to hear before hand, and i bet you any money u will do it
GO OUT THERE - KEEP STRONG- SHOW THAT EXAMINER YOU CAN DO IT-
DONT DO IT FOR NEONE ELSE BUT YOUR SELF!

ive just failed my first driving test! i was so nervous i didnt sleep or eat, got to the test centre and all the examiners i heard nice comments about all read out other peoples names - i had another examiner who had the flu and was coughing and spluttering all over me throughout the 40 mins - not nice. thought i was doing everything well, then nerves took over, and i went in the wrong lane which ended up being the wrong side of the road to turn right. knew it was a fail! and he gave me a minor at the end for not bein straight in my bay park. only 1 minor and a major, really annoying. and now ages to wait until i can retake it, dont have the motivation to wait that long! xxx

Hi guys if anyone is having trouble with the hazard perception then I found some fantastic information on Ebay today, its basically a strategy which tells you the secret on how to pass the exam and it does work, I was scoring 42 out of 75 but now I am consistently scoring over 64 its awesome, I would highly recommend it, you can find this information on Ebay its located under 'everything else' and then under 'how to guides'.

I've got my 2nd test on tuesday and just got a letter from DSA changing the time! I didn't really even read the whole letter all I saw was CANCELED! I freaked out! THEN they rebooked it, but if the new time/day is not ok, you are stuffed cause the last day to change it was yesterday! I didn't even know anything was changed until today! My instructor said it was ok, but what if it wasn't? Then I'd be OUT £48.50!! Do you know how many hours I have to work to pay for that!?!?! Has this happened to anyone else?
I SOOOO need to pass this time. 1st time I was so nervous I got in the wrong late at the round about and didn't see another test car when changing lanes (oops) but otherwise would've passed. Now if I can just PASS I'll be happy!!
Good luck all

I failed my 2nd test today. Was gutted!!! The first test I had 1 serious and only 3 minors. The serious was for road markings on the roundabout. He asked me to go straight ahead but I was in the left hand lane (the usual lane to take) but in this case there was 3 lanes - the left was for turning left - I was supposed to be in the middle!!! I couldn't believe what a stupid mistake I made. Anyway the minors were for not checking my blind spots before pulling away, checking mirrors & changing to the appropriate gears. The 2nd test - was 3 serious faults - was too close to the cars parked on the road (I thought there was enough room!!), a bus pulled into the road and I hesitated - should of given him enough room to pass - had to reverse to let him in, 3rd was again hestitating before turning right.
Tips:
Checks mirrors - BEFORE you signal/change speed/gears etc
Check road markings - especially at roundabouts.
Give way to oncoming vechicles (there will always be a potential hazard on the test)
Leave enough room when driving past parked cars.
I was extremely nervous on both tests. I actually stalled the car before we even set off - I think the nerves got the better of me!!
I have another test in March - looking to get a cancellation asap as I want to get this test out of the way.

I failed my driving test today.... i feel like crap. i got 6 minors and 2 serious. feel so stupid that if i did it right i would have passed and could be an official driver, but stuff like this happens which is good because it makes u stronger and determine u more..... i have booked my second test but its not until may which is annoying me more as test centres in birmingham are always fully boked....
whoever is due for the test be confident and stay calm and u will be fine. i was just made a stupid mistake which caused me to fail. good luck to u all!!!
