Exactly, plus there would have been nothing to my right (not the point, i know but I did actually check), there's hatch markings on the road to the right as the road splits into 2 lanes so there wouldn't have been anything to the right, so he was obviously being too harsh failing me for that, so gutted 😞 have u rebooked ur test yet?


Yeah he sounds so harsh 🙁! Yeah I've rebooked, earliest I could get was the 3rd November 😕🙁 but I'm looking out for cancellations, so I'm hoping someone has had to cancel so I can get a test sooner..

My instructor was explaining the circumstances of him working at that test centre and there's something really dodgy about it as he travels quite a way to come to work when there is a test centre in his home town... My instructor thinks he has been fired from the centre in his town or left under dodgy circumstances 😒
My instructor feels very strongly about me appealing, he asked me to do it as a favour to him coz he wants him out! My poor instructor was in a foul mood after my test, he phoned me saying the poor person who has a lesson with him next gotta put up with his mood 😩😂


Oh dear 😕, that examiner should just get himself a new career, instead of putting students and their instructor through the misery of a failed test.

Haha fair enough, the examiner should be out of his job! Aw bless him 😂

So after a year out of lessons due to my health, I'm now back at driving lessons. I had my first lesson today and it was with a new instructor. I made a thread like this last year when I first started and thought I'd make another :colondollar:

I think back then, gears were my biggest hurdle. Now its definitely the clutch and acceleration. I either don't rev enough or I don't lift the clutch up in time or all that jazz. Stalled 3 times today and all at busy junctions :colondollar: after a year out though, I was expecting it. Not a lover of reversing either. I can reverse perfectly in a straight line but that's it!

Screwed a parrael up, after just doing one perfectly on my lesson before. Then in the way back to the test centre, there's a big multi lane roundabout (which everyone has to do twice in their test). I had to go first exit so left hand lane, waited for it was clear (tool around a minute), and went. Major as he said a person coming from the right could change lanes suddenly and come off. My dad (who drives for a living), said if I had waited for that roundabout to be totally clear, I'd still be there! The examiner even said the majority of people do it.


For my actual driving I had no minors. One minor was for mucking up which is front and back demister (which sucks as I know exactly which one is which on my own car)
