Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

feeling so unmotivated and gutted failed my driving test?

i failed my test today 2 serious ,one manuever and other on traffic lights i was instruct to go right on traffic,but road was loaded with heavy traffic . Decided to go on the left hand lane and DID MY observation and everything , i mean if i changed to the right lane i felt their was a great deal of traffic and might cause a danger so i went with my instinct and chose the safer option.

well after i saw my first serious on the paper i lost hope and got 8 minors and a serious, i felt sadistic and felt little to no reason on carrying on tbh. I was doing so fine until the cross i saw on my sheet took the life out of me just felt hopeless

on the positive side it wasn't as hard as how people make it out to be so i booked a new test just in 3 weeks time and my theory test expires in 4 months so am taking every early slots possible

can anyone tell me if Saturday at 8;40 a busy time?

Most people fail first time. I did. I almost caused a pile up on a dual carriage way so I wouldn't worry at all, you'll pass next time. Don't get distracted by what the examiner is marking on the sheet, keep your eyes on the road and just concentrate on what you're meant to be doing.

Can't really tell you about how busy a Saturday morning as you don't say whereabouts you took the test. But it's not a weekday so less people likely to be commuting to work so it shouldn't be too bad.

Loads fail first time. Doesn't make you a bad driver, though that seems a lot of points to be picked up on. Next time stick with what they tell you to do in terms of lanes. And you obviously let their marking get to you so simply, don't look at what they're doing and concentrate, you're put off if you know you went wrong somewhere.

Took me 4 attempts to pass.

I've been riding a motorbike for years though. Just wasnt used to not being able to see the curbs and having to do reverse round corners etc that you'd never have to do on a bike :biggrin:

Dont get demotivated. Book your next test asap so you have another date to work towards.
