Re: How many times did it take to pass your driving test??Just failed second attempt today. Had to return to the centre after fifteen minutes for making a 'dangerous' manouvere on a roundabout :/ oops(Original post by Miss. B)
Due to my nereves I have got my 4th test on wed and was just wondering how many times it took you guys to pass? It's cost me so much money so any tips would be good!

Re: How many times did it take to pass your driving test??6th time. I am a nervous person when it comes to driving tests.
First time 16 minors 3 majors = LOL!
Second time 4 minors 1 major = I didnt know how to reverse park and hoped it wouldn't come up on the test. it did.
Third time 14 minors 1 major = The examiner mustve been high, said i took too long while doing turn in the road. He was just an enemy of progress tbh.
Fourth time 15 minors 1major = My own stupid fault. I accept that
Fifth time: 4 minors 1 major = this test was the most painful because my driving was literally perfect even the examiner said, but again me hoping that the manoveure i couldn't do would come up yet it did; failed because of the parallel park
Sixth time = RESULT! Pass, 5 minors.
I started driving lessons as soon as i was 17.Passed theory first time, It took me 6 tests and nearly 2 years. Never give up! -

Re: How many times did it take to pass your driving test??Passed mine today-first try and I passed my Theory first go too, only person in my entire family circle to do so. I was certain I failed as he didn’t write anything down, and when I went around a corner in my independent driving I forgot that it was a dual carriageway ahead and me in second gear, I never put the pedal to the metal as quick to get into 4th and 5th. And my turn around the corner (I hate it but luckily my instructor for some reason took me the exact route the examiner took me) I had to keep changing direction as it’s a very tight one but luckily I got it in without hitting the curb then I coasted going back down the hill- silly me, thank god he was not paying attention. When I got back to the centre I was near going to jump out the window when he said I passed I had to ask him to repeat and only 6 minors. I think thinking I failed helped me relax after nerves like hell for the first 10 mins

Re: How many times did it take to pass your driving test??1st time- 2 minors, 1 serious. It was completely my fault too. I went into a yellow grid when there was a lorry blocking my lane on the other side, leaving me sitting in the middle like a complete imbecile.
2nd time- 7 minors, 1 serious. I thought I drove fine, but didn't realise I'd got into the wrong lane at a roundabout (the road markings were very unclear). Changing lanes without checking my mirrors= fail.
3rd time- Easily my worst test of the three, definitely thought I'd failed this one. Somehow passed with 4 minors!

How many times did it take to pass your driving test??Hi ,
This really won't be a very acurate study tho and don't be put off by the amount of people who say first time. Because naturally will have a natural aptitude to driving and thus will pass their test quicker, due to confidence.It very enjoying driving.
