The Ultimate "I failed my driving test!" Thread ‎-MK II

Ahhh i Passed my test 11.11 18th of july 2011, 3rd attempt.. I hope u passed, thats a lucky timejust realised ur tets was today? did u pass? figners crossed

Failed first test -_- didn't check left when I was at a junction so the examiner had to stop the car as there was a car coming along grrr only got 2 minors one for indicating late and the other for not checking mirrors. Oh wells maybe on take 2.

just booked another... 5th time lucky maybe?

keep getting 1 major and less than 5 minors.. pretty frustrating!

Me too, i had the worst examiner, he gave me 15 minors then in the end after engine switched of etc changed it to 17 so i fail, he said i never checked the mirrors but i did ofc, but oh well my instructor argued with him and examiner said go appeal. oh well sucks. taking my instructor with me next time.

Why did you recieve the other 15 minors? What the Hell, you would've passed if you did not get those last 2 minors. That examiner definitely seems very harsh though.

All under mirrors he gave me 13 minors for mirrors which he then changed to a major. he was also shouting at me near the end and i calmly told him i did check the mirrors and he said i didn't check once(lies), i told him i did and then he said go appeal he was a real jerk. Not trying to play the race card but i think he was quite racist he didn't like me from the start. Also my driving was perfect got 1 minor for hesitation and 2 for steering and 1 for safety

11 minors for mirror's is quite a lot, I mean was you just glancing at them and not actually turning your head torwards them to indicate to him/her that you were checking them? Not looking at them a few times would have allowed the examiner to keep them as minors however, I think it's fair of him/her to give you a major for constantly not checking. Next time make it a distinct and obvious process that you're checking your mirrors, I actually looked at every mirror twice on my test just so that I would not get a major. Even though you might have looked at them, the examiner obviously got the impression that you did not.


Why do you think this? Did he say/do anything to suggest that he/she is a racist?

I seriously doubt that the examiner was racist, they simply caught onto something you constantly failed to do (according to their observations) and they punished you as a result.

PS- Atleast you know that for next time all you need to do is make it more apparent that you're checking your mirrors, was all the other aspects of your driving fine?

I take it the car was indicating to turn into your road? Unlucky, just remember to look left right and all your mirrors before stopping/moving off

Good luck for next time.

Failed today, first attempt. Really angry at myself, 3 minors and and one serious, which I got in the last five minutes. Was in the left hand lane turning right out of a junction - no idea why I did it, I've done that turning a hundred times before =/ All I can think is "if I'd just done it like I'd done it before I would have passed", I'm so annoyed =/ Gotta wait two weeks to do it again (though that's not as long as some people, I know) Urgh. Was a really good test apart from that, examiner said it was a good drive, just a shame about the one stupid mistake. Got the turn in the road as well, the easiest manoeuvre. So angry!

Totally feel your pain! Good luck with your next go
