Failing My Driving Test just 1/2 an hour ago

[Guest]

Hi everyone,
I just failed my THIRD test on 17th and i'm absolutely gutted. My nerves just got the better of me, which is a real shame 'cos I know I'm a decent driver. I've also lost out on an amazing job, which would have required me to be able to drive, so thats two blows in one week.
Is it really true about that quota thing? My next one is 11th March so perhaps that'll be ok - just as long as I don't turn the windscreen wipers on instead of the indicators like I did on my last one! Kate

ive got my 4th test on thursday,i really really need to pass as im moving and need to be able to get to work,.
I think the pressure of things like that, really doesnt help. Im such a good driver,and it just frustrates me something cronic.
Also we are meant to have snow this week so that will be sods law!
good luck everyone

hi kate, dont worry your pass soon, i had my 3rd test today and i passed. my nerves was really bad today but my last two tests i should of pass but my nerves got the best of me. but today i couldnt stop shaking my leg i was so nerves so the examiner saw my leg and half way on my test he told me to get out of the car and walk around it and then get back in the car and drive and it stopped my leg shaking for the rest of my test.
but he still passed me even tho i cut a corner and when he asked me the questions at the beginning of the test he asked me to put my lights on to show they work and i forgot to turn them off the whole way on my test.

just take your time and i would say dont tell anyone about your test so if you do fail (which you wont) the pressure is not on you. thats what i did so if i did fail noone would no

good luck in your test and i hope you do really well

P.S DONT BE NERVES JUST THINK YOU ON A DRIVING LESSON

I have my 1st test on march 4th. i do ok in lessons, but even on my mock, i got nervous and made silly mistakes!!1 im really scared. Do kalms work or do they chill u too much or make u tired?

[xxxxHxxxx]

got my driving test next thursday and i feel SICK about it. i just know i'm going to get nervous and f*** it up - im always so much better with my dad than my instructor. Plus iv told EVERYONE (including all you lot now!) and thats just the recipe for a fail! I dont even know how to parallel park for christs sake! everytime iv been out driving with my dad i just get back and cry cos i just KNOW i'll fail and i cant bare to hear the words!! also think im gonna start talking to myself - sounds stupid, but i always say stuff like 'ah i coulda gone then', 'ooh that wasnt very good', 'oops should be in first really' etc etc etc! wish i wasnt such a friggin chatter box! really need failsafe tips! i cant relax oh god im all nervous now its keepin me up at night! btw i have kalms and they dont make me drowsy cos they've just got herb stuff in them. dont know how well they work i think its psychological! Bach's Rescue Remedy's meant to be quite good.
Any tips for parallel parking???! i always get it wrong - always miles out from the kerb! good luck everyone, so glad i found this sight x

Hey Every 1 ...... just been reading through some of your experiences.

My test is tomorrow at 8.40 booked the first 1 i could. I was reading that its best not to tell people when your test is i thought DAMN IT IV TOLD EVERY1 I KNOW!!!!..... oh well what will be will be.

When i was younger had real problem with nerves , i was sitting at work yesterday thinking bout my test getting really worked up then something happened..... i just started to get really MAD!! I thought F**k it im not letting my nerves ruin my driving my nerves have ruined enough of my life im not going to let it ruin this, so since then im just really mad so wen i start to get nervous now i get really mad.... im ready bring it ON!!!!

So id advise anyone who is worring bout their test to just say F**K it im not going to let them beat me!!!

Good Luck Honeys.

i have my driving test in a couple of months and cant even begin to say how nervous i am. I failed my theory test four times and there was a point where i thought i would never pass that. But i kept going and eventually i got there and i think its the same with the actual test, no matter how many times you fail never give up, you will get there in the end. I hope i pass first time, but if i dont i wont give up until i can rip up my learner plates!

i just took my drivers test and failed for the third time. first time i jumped a curb, second time i hit a guard rail and the third time i finished the whole course..came to the stop sign, and i didnt make a complete stop. she said i made a "california stop." it was great. i always thought the 3rd time was a charm. oh well. so now i think im never gonna get my license. this feeling really sucks.

Mines on friday and im really worried too!!!!!!!! For parallel parking, my instructor has a small piece of blu tack on the wheel arch, and then u line urself up at the side of the car and reverse until ur inline with the oter cars wipers if its facing down, or the back door if its facing up. Then u do one full turn of the wheel to the left until it looks like the blue tack on the wheel arch is touching, and then 2 full turns of the wheel to the right n carry on straight back. When the car is straight one full turn to the left and stop! That sounds really complecated but its actually easy. APart from my instructor got a new car on monday and the door handles stick out too far so that i cant see the blu tack! rather annoying! O well all depends on the day! im really really worried il fail though! il be so mad with myself if i do fail! its annoying now, i just wanna get it over with!!! I think im going to givr kalms ago, coz i think my nerves will be the biggest problem!

That's what I call a stupid instructor. What happens when yu pass the test, the first thing you need is some blue tack. It is idle instructing. Ask the instructor ifhe/she uses blue tack. Then ask he/she to teach you the way they park. An instrcuor should teach you to d things the the instructor does them.
