Failed my test

Should I give up

If that's the attitude you have, then you deserve to fail next time around.
Failure is NOT supposed to be a hindrance. It's supposed to be a reminder to work harder. If you experience a fail, and your next thought is to "give up" or even consider it, then you've already lost.

Get your ish together, pick yourself up, find out what you did wrong, and RECTIFY it.
Consider me as your wake up call.

Thanks for your comfort words. I failed my driving test on 11th on move off, 2 Faults, and decided to quit not continue the test, caused some reason car couldn't start and killed my moods. Booked again with confidence, today I failed again again on crossing/traffic & pedestrians. 4 faults. After spending around £1500. It's painful, I do know what to do next.

Ohhh, thought you were talking about a HIV test. Unlucky, anyway.
you need to have a gap where you just calm down, practise and then do it again with confidence:h: and slay 'em

If you don't mind me asking how old are you? And do you live in the countryside or in an urban area?

If you feel like you need more lessons, book more. If not, try again.

You have spent some time and money into learning. Would it be wise to just leave it?

Revise topics you are struggling with and stay relaxed while taking another test.

Failure to prepare is preparation for failure.

Don't give up.

40 is quite old to be learning to drive, so maybe you should try again. Even though living in London makes driving less of an importance, you'll definitely need it if you want to travel elsewhere, But for now, I'd say wait. Save up some money for a new test, and then try again. You're probably more likely to fail if you've failed before recently.

Age is just a number. Learning driving is another career/skills. I don't believe....
