Thumb Down Driving Test :(

I failed my practical test this morning

Eurgh, it's such a kick in the teeth - I was already pretty nervous about it, and it didn't help that during my first manoeuvre, the bay park, some prick waited for at least 5 minutes in an empty car park until the examiner had finished speaking to me, I went out of the space I was in and had started to reverse back into it before nipping into the space. This of course meant that I had to stop and go forward and then reverse into a different space, and basically it just got my nerves all shot. After that the test was largely a disaster, due to me being upset/nervous by that guy.

Failing that fucking test is like a major let down, I really thought I would pass it, and kinda needed to seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere. Meh, now I have to wait at least six weeks before I get a retest, this is completely and utterly by far the gayest thing in the world.

Let me put your mind at rest, it is not all that bad failing first time round, i did and i am glad i did to some degree cause i knew what to expect the second time round, alot of people fail first time. I found that since i really wanted to pass my test first time cause i live in the middle of nowhere aswell, that it made me appreciate having my full license now, i am one of the most careful young drivers out their i have been, that was until some arse decided to ram his car into the back of mine while it was parked up and not leave a note or anything, but thats a whole other story.

The point is seing as i passed second time, and now realise how difficult it was for me to pass, i don't find myself speeding, or driving stupidly, as some fo my friends have found to their cost its a whole load easier to lose you license than it is to get in the first place.

hope that makes you feel a bit better, and remember when you do pass, don't do anything to put your license at risk, thats your freedom, that little pink card.

Why do you feel the need to make homophobic remarks regarding a driving test?

I failed my driving test five times. The third time the examiner actually terminated the test halfway through and walked two miles back to the test centre, leaving me in the middle of nowhere waiting for my instructor to pick up his car. That wasn't exactly the proudest moment of my life, believe me.

Some people were not born to drive. Others just need a little more practice.

Very well put, i thought my life was going to end when the examiner said "sorry steven but you have failed"

But it just made me want it more.

I'm quite happy being a pedestrian these days.
