Failing My Driving Test just 1/2 an hour ago

[mo]

hey im in australia, and the rules mite be a bit different there.. but yeah just letting you know i know how you feel.. i failed for the 3rd time today.. i felt really bad and stuff.. like you just feel so disapointed.. even if the instructor screwd u over somehow n u think you should of passed.. threes nothing you can do about it.. and thats the worst.. hate it tho.. makes you feel like you will never get it.. im sure we all will eventually.. not sure when but hopefully soon.. try cheer up.. i know i should.. its hard but i guess there are ppl who know how u feel.. (like me) so if that makes u feel any better then yeah goodluck for the next time.. whenever you go for it.. im so turned off on driving tests now grrrr

Sorry, can't be much help, although I passed my driving test 2nd time!! Passed when I was 17 and I'm now 25!! For my 1st test, I had a right bitch! She nearly put me off driving for life! My driving instructor couldn't understand it, as he always said that I was a very good driver!!

My advice would be, try and try again!! Don't let it dishearten you!

I failed my second test yesterday The first time I knew Id failed on loads of stuff and it was fair enough. This time though I fully thought Id passed, especially when we got back to the test centre and he said just hang on a minute while I fill in some paperwork. There was me thinking hes filling in my pass certificate, but no, he was getting me some god damn forms to apply for another test. He gave me a major fault cos he reckoned I was too hesitant when turning right at traffic lights. Everything else was fine, 4 minors. Has anyone heard a rumour that examiners are only allowed to a pass a certain amount of people every week? Thats what a few people I know are saying, dont know if its true. If it is its not fair.

I have my driving test two weeks tomorrow , and although i have so much experience going out with my dad in the car most nights, i've made the fatal mistake of telling EVERYONE!! Wish i'd never said anything; i'v just piled on extra pressure! All my friends failed first (and in some cases second, third and fourth) time, and all passed when they told no-one else because they didn't have to worry about breaking the news when they got home (just opening another tub of Ben & Jerrys!)
Hope all your tips work!! Il let u know

I'm soooooooo pissed off. I've sat my theory twice which I passed with flying colours. I've only had 17 drivin lessons with 2 different instructors who have both said they dont understand why I've failed twice cause my driving is v good. Bit unusual for instructors cause they normally wanna drain your pockets. I just think its nerves. If u can get over them then ur fine. Wanna know how many times i've failed? 2! Why? cause i've been driving for quite some time and I've got habits I cant let go of. So even when your experienced, you'll still fail!!! I guess its just bad luck but let me give you some advice. DO NOT TELL ANY1 THAT UR GOING FOR YOUR TEST!!!

I am so happy Passed my driving test today after 6 fails! When the end of the test came round and the examiner turned to me I buried my face because I was expecting the words 'I'm sorry.......' But just to hear him say 'I'm pleased to tell you.........' made my day

All I can say is keep trying and you will get there. I am not a bad driver but I have a terrible nerve problem. I think thats the main reason why people fail. My instructor recently recommended kalms and Bach Rescue remedy and since taking them they have really helped me calm down and think on the road.

What also helped was having the test in the morning during the school holidays. This meant today's test route was less severe than some I have been on previously.

i failed my test today because i went over the line while doing my three point turn. This is really comforting to know that other people can relate. The funny thing is i am supposedly the smartest person in my family but yet still my judgement skills in driving is a little off. Anyway there is always next time, i'm only seventeen and my mom bought me a shoe as a consolation prize . i really feel better after reading all this thanks guys.
