I think I will try again though, dont wanna let the DVLA beat me! Lol
2nd test a week Wednesday, its been nearly 5 weeks since my last one and I've had about 4 lessons since (3 in a new car) and I honestly feel so much better about my driving ability and hoping I won't have to use the phrase '3rd time lucky'! :s

Thanks for the support, unfortunately I failed though AGAIN - I think I am genuinely doomed to walking forever! Haha
Failed
Argh so gutted! How did yours go?

Unfortunately I failed.I received two serious faults and 3 minors.I failed going over a pedestrian crossing and edging too forward doing a right turn instead of stopping completely!Absurd.The examiner was pissed off with me because I went the wrong way for independent driving.He told me he will have to stop the test if I continue driving the wrong way.Im dyslexic so i prefer if you make a hand signal.I will tell DSA about this next time.I will look out for another test
I can only keep trying?
Just failed my driving test AGAIN I did worse than last time which is even more depressing, 3 majors and 6 minors. I had only one major mistake last time but 12 minors. I'm really rubbish at driving even though my driving instructor said otherwise so as not to depress me even further.
I did worse than last time which is even more depressing, 3 majors and 6 minors. I had only one major mistake last time but 12 minors. I'm really rubbish at driving even though my driving instructor said otherwise so as not to depress me even further.I just passed on the third attempt with 3 minors. The reason I failed the other two times was purely down to nerves. I don't think there is any way to solve this problem so you've just got to go out, try again and you will eventually get a clean, lucky run. Griff
Just failed today for speeding and going in the wrong lane at a roundabout. He said decide what you want to do and I went back into the right lane someone let me in but he said I was holding up the flow of traffic. 2 majors 6 minors.
Does anyone do it in their own car or parents to save money if you do do you just insure it for the day?
Messed up my mock driving test so badly he aborted it lol, /facepalm
I don't remember if I updated this.. but I passed my driving test back in May.
So happy, so much freedom now! I only got 3 minors this time, thank god.
Just a wee message to everyone saying NEVER give up. I failed 3 times before due to nerves, I took every tablet, oil, drops going.. NOTHING helped me what so ever. I ended up having to go to the doctors and he prescribed me with tablets (I cant remember what they were) but I eventually passed after this. Now I have a gorgeous red Mini which I bought two weeks after I passed, it's the best thing ever.
Remember, NEVER give up xx

I have passed today on my fourth attempt with only 2 minors so happy. I wasn't really nervous in any of my attempts it was just making silly mistakes in this test I was a bit more nervous than my previous ones but I did much better. First attempt I had got 2 majors 7 minors, 2nd attempt 1 major 7 minors, third attempt 3 majors 7 minors.

I had the same examiner for my 1st and 2nd test but for my 3rd test I had a different examiner and had the same examiner for my 4th as my 3rd one. I didn't expect to get 2 minors I thought I would get like 8 minors but the examiner had told me that I did really good. Altogether I took 40 lessons. Your test is in a rush hour so be aware of lollipop lady as they can really annoy you anyway best of luck to you
Failed twice thus far
expect my next one on the 28th to be cancelled due to snow or something. I doubt I can afford more lessons or another test u.u

Last time I got a minor coz I didn't see a woman, dispite the fact she was wearing a bright pink jumper. I was concentrating too much on following the cars in front of me :/ but just coz of the time and everything I have a feeling there'll be lots of people wanting to cross haha

Hi Guys.
Found this thread and wanted to say I have my third attempt at test today.
Its at 2.30pm and I'm so very nervous, I am a naturally anxious person anyway so this isn't really helping.
First test I failed with 10 minors and 2 majors - first for an awful reverse round the corner and second for clutch control at a roundabout and not pre-planning within enough time i.e. trying to go on a roundabout in 4th gear and stalling when trying to change down to 2nd.
Second test I failed with 7 minors and 1 major - the major being apparently pulling out of a roundabout too soon and making the car behind brake. The examiner was really moody and horrible and didn't put me at my ease at all. He kept leaving it until the last minute to tell me when to turn left/right etc and was on edge the entire time.
I think it was more of personal opinion for that test and he probably shouldn't have failed me, more of a minor as there was a big enough gap when I went.
I am very anxious about today and can't even think straight, I can't afford to fail this one and if I do the waiting list is backed up until March 2013 now
