The Ultimate "I passed my driving test!" Thread

I passed today first time. I'm so over the moon. Man this feeling is so amazing. Although the experience was so horrible. First i couldn't read the car number plate and he told me to read 4 different cars and i still couldn't do it, so i panicked big time. and then my instructor came out and he was like what the hell is going on. and i was having a panic attack and nearly started crying and my instructor was like like it's gonna be ok. (i knew i should've got glasses). And then the examiner went in and got a tape measurer and i could finally read the number plate from exactly 20 feet. But I was still panicking, and then the first thing he asked me to do was bay parking and i'm sooo not good at it and i stalled 3 times, yep that's right 3 TIMES. I was sooo nervous. and then when i was done parking the car wasn't straight, so he asked me if i'm satisfied and i said no and moved forward and parked again and again this time it was so close to the right hand line. and he asked me again if i was satisfied, and i said yeh, and then he got out of the car to check and luckily i was just in. Oh there's more. About 5 minutes into it, i missed the priority board and stopped just after the giveway line, and at this point i knew for a fact i failed. I think the examiner knew how nervous i was so he started talking to me about general things like what i do and stuff, and that calmed me down a bit. other than that my corner reverse was perfect and everything else went smoothly, except for once when i turned left with 3rd gear. and then at the end, when we got to the test centre, he started counting off the sheet and i was really scared, cos i was pretty sure i failed. And i started crying when he told me i've passed. i was so shocked. and then my instructor came out and i gave him a thumbs up and he came running. Man i'm gonna miss him soooo much. best instructor everrrr.

anyway thanks guys for sharing your experiences and making this thread. reading it made me feel really confident. thanks.

This is so ridiculars, had it been any other examiner, you'd been failed I guess. It sounds so random to me. Yes I am jealous but I can't help by thinking that the whole thing is just a bit unfair......

First time, 8 minors, and had an absolute shocker on the day!
The instructor told me I'd failed, then said he was joking and that I'd passed :\
