In the Chingford driving test center, do you read the number plate number off a wall or on an actual car?
Don't talk to me about driving tests... I failed for the fifth time today 😣
Thats unfortunate, what fault failed you?

Well I was at a box junction turning right, the car opposite had stopped for me, so I thought I might as well go. This was two minutes before my test finished.
Examiner said i failed because the car hadn't stopped... But it had! So I got a serious on junction observation 😒
Anyway, I'll keep taking the test until I pass!
Well that sucks specially 2 minutes before the end of the test, but keep going you'll get it eventually! I have my driving test tomorrow morning. Pretty nervous.

Thank you I hope I do, oohhh have you done it yet? How did it go?
Failed, got 6 minors and a major for "Clearance" apparently i drove to close to a parked car at some point, but he didn't use the dual controls at any point or say anything, so i don't understand how it could have been a major fault lol. Its all good though I got a feel for the test and its super easy, wasn't nervous in the slightest. I should get it on my next attempt :P

On that test i got reverse around a corner which was fine. You will definitely pass soon as long as you're a safe driver. Just remember the rules of the road and always check your mirrors. I just passed my driving test a couple days ago after failing 3 weeks ago. I only had 2 hours of lessons between my first and second test and this time round I only got 2 minors. Keep booking tests and you'll pass eventually :smile:

Must say there's a very thin line between what's serious and dangerous. Where one is left to use their own discretion with such a thin line things can get harsh. Oh well such is life. Never give up.
