Failed first one at a box junction - not letting oncoming traffic turn first. Understandable!
Second one failed because i apparently drove too close to parked cars (although my driving instructor thought the opposite was true) but oh well
My theory then ran and I didnt drive for 6 years. Had to take the theory test again, The DVD practice test i bought was very hard which knocked my confidence as there were so many nnew questions (and some daft ones)......... but the actual theory test was easy. I'm glad the DVD was difficult now.
Third time last Oct was on the self drive (I was always concerned about this has they didnt have it on the tests before). I was following road signs for the airport. As i was approaching the round about I saw the sign but it was half covered so never got a good look. I was in the left lane and was approaching the second exit when I saw the correct exit. I checked around, with no cars around me so continued to go to the third exit. Failed on that. I don't think it was that bad but I can understand if cars we behind me it could have caused something. It's not something i'd normally do but hey it's a test and i was nervous.
Fourth test was two days ago - was nervous as hell. At this point was thinking am i ever going to pass. However, the test instructor was very nice. His instructions were very clear, he always repeated them twice and gave it in clear voice I can only describe as the voice you hear over tannoys at airports and supermarkets ^_^ . In fact I would say his instructions were a little too good as we started off with the self drive, but after most turns / exits / new roads I went on he told me where to go next (not that I am complaining). Thought I messed up on some indication bits .... I partly did as I got 3 minors on that (8 in total)... so i was surprised when i passed!!
Anyway... 6 years in total... none of you have the right to complain haha jk
