Silly Driving Test Stories

Anyone have any they would like to share? I could do with a laugh :o:

When the examiner said to me "I'm please to tell you you've passed" I answered with "ARE YOU JOKING? I COULD LICK YOU!" :rolleyes:

He said, "No, please don't lick me. Just make sure you check your blind spot before moving off, because you seemed to forget to". He was a right stone-faced bastard and sounded something like Squidward from Spongebob. Oh well, at least I got my laughs out of it.

I once knew a guy who failed his driving test... because at the beginning of the test he crashed the car into the test centre building. Thats pretty epic.

When I had my driving test I got bib-ed at so I stuck my fingers up to the driver, the examiner told me off and called me "rude". Oh well still passed.

My friend turned a left corner whilst looking to check for traffic on the right. She didn't straighten the wheel after the turn quickly enough, and went onto the pavement, hitting a tree.

Luckily it wasn't badly damaged, but West Wickham test centre were not amused..... :rolleyes:

She passed a few weeks later though, which is rather terrifying. :eek:

I kept having seizures during all three of my exams (yeah... wasn't diagnosed until I nearly went on to a three lane roundabout in the 2.5th lane, with three cars comng at me and then FORCED the doctor to get me referred; I'd previously been told I was just dozy).

That was fun.

hmm i had a pretty bad start, when we were doing the eye test, i didn't know what i was doing lol, he just said read those 3 number plates and pointed up ahead, to me it looked like was pointed to these 3 parked cars, whose number plates i could not see because they were parked horizontally to me, i was just thinking wtf lol, and asked if i could walk along the pavement to get a better view and when he saw me going quite far down he was like what are you doing, i was just like i can't see the number plates, and it was there when i thought omg i am going to fail it here lol, and there was another person in front about to start his test and they were just looking at me about to laugh, it was then i realised there was 3 number plates straight ahead on the wall and then i read it off, very bad start but i passed anyway with 2 minors lol

When I failed my first driving test, I made a major pretty much as soon as soon as the test began. I was parked on the side of a busy road, and waiting for clearance to move off. A car stopped behind me, and I thought they were going to let me pass. Just as I started to move off, so did they and my examiner said in a pretty stern voice "Wait!". I personally think she would have let me off because she didn't brake me, but....

About 5 mins later into the test, I was at a traffic light, waiting to go forward because of the traffic. The cars in front who had already gone into the junction area began to move off as the traffic eased, and I followed....not noticing the traffic light was still red. She double braked me and twas all over...

My friend had his test cancelled because one of the examiners hit their car in to the post on the way in to the centre. That was quite funny.

One of my Dad's friends upon being told to go straight across at the roundabout, did PRECISELY that. And got stuck on it. Apparently she was VERY ditzy.

Another of his mates put it in 1st instead of reverse (or maybe vice-versa), and drove right into the wall. At the start.

Not a fail-able thing, but on another forum an instructor mentioned a pupil, who was very nervous, so as she got to the car she asked the examiner "me or you driving?" :biggrin:

Think she did fail for other things though, nerves.

Forgot to put it in first gear when pulling away from the test centre. I just sat there revving for a bit wondering why it wasn't reaching biting point

A friend of mine got a minor for keeping his windscreen wipers on for the duration of his test, even though it was only raining for the first 5 minutes! I always thought that was quite funny.

Another of my friends passed but had forgotten to put his seatbelt on for the duration of the test!

The examiner I had kept calling me 'Katherine' instead of Kristine. It was written on the paper in front of her the whole time.

I got a minor for that, but only because my driving instructor unhelpfully got a new car the day before my test and I didn't know how to switch the bloody things off!
