On the test I've done today and my first test in June I've had to drive in torrential rain and severe flooding. But today I also had to deal with huge traffic jams from all the kids being off school! My test lasted 55 minutes because of it! I did my two manoeuvre's perfectly as well, but got a serious for positioning. It was raining so hard today I could barely make the lines out!
But what really annoys me is that the next available driving test for me is mid September, two months away! Its so farcical paying £48.50 and then having to wait that long to just take it again.
I actually feel calmer after writing this. Thanks![]()
Good luck to everyone take their tests in the future.

Drove round for the hour before, even though it was pouring extremley hard!. Got to that dreaded test time. MyInstructor was 110% sure I'd pass as my driving is of a very good standard!. Sat in the office and then the fun began. The most misserable borring examiner came out and called my name. Checked the paper work, didnt even introduce himseld and just said ''lead the way''. I still don't know his name. Anyways Got to the test centre car park, eyesight test finer, show me/tell me fine. Got in the car, belted up and ready to go. Went out and the first 30 mins were ace, couldn't have gone any better! Reverse around the corner went fine, you name it I was really chuffed!. Hit the dual carriageway and the fun began. Bearing in mind heavy wind and rain I have a cyclist swerving infront of me whilst there is heavy oncoming traffic. Slowed right down, overtook, no problem! but a little shakey. Got 10 mins from the test centre and a foreigner pulls out infron of me, this is when the failing streak began
. The foreigner cuts up a white van infront, makes my examiner pissed off, and starts throwing remarks at him. Got to about 5 mins before the test centre and got to the roundabout. Check to the right and see that Ive got a guy indicating right so I gave way. Next thing I know the guy changes his mind and indicates off at the last minute. My examiner then goes ''we haven't got all day, we need to go!'' and at that point I saw him tick the major box. Could not believe it. I felt the anger rising and as I was about to indicate left just after some parked cars for the test centre turning a woman flings open her door. I swerved right quickly as no oncoming traffic was coming. The examiner at this point has grabbed the wheel and said ''that was far to f****ng close. I looked at him as if to say what the hell are you doing. took a left, bay parked back at the centre fine. I knew I had failed because of that and so did he. The ck r still took the pleasure of totalling the score up even though he knew I had failed. And then those words came ''I am sorry to say that on this occassion you have been unsuccessful''. My heart sank. He got out the car, my instructor came over stunned I had failed. He sat in the car and I explained what had happened. He said that no way in the roundabout situation should I have got a major for that, and infact I was correct in swerving to miss the car as I had no other choice. He says it's best to complain to the DVLA as the test sounds very unfair. I am truely gutted, I wanted this so bad and the insult of waiting another month is truely pants. Im no chav, thug or anything, just a normal person who goes to college etc and all I wanted to do was pass so bad. I found it hard to believe the comments that some people made about the examiners, but now I believe them 110%. Some are dead nice, others are horrible. Hope I pass next time!!!!!!!
