You won't win the appeal. Just book another test. You made a serious fault and did not preform to the Highway Code. Just accept your mistake and move on. Regardless if you think you're a good driver or not, you made a fault and you accepted that. You're just not happy it wasn't a minor fault. For that, the examiner has discretion and can make a decision. They clearly thought it was unsafe for you to do what you did and failed you.

And i went i bend the car for the roundabout and he said I failed because only for that reason without even minor issues omg how is that possible? I called court to tell then but Birmingham magistrates court they said I have to pay £60 and that’s not accepted cuz if I win the case for sure i get free test or £62 back so it’s like gambling pay us more £60 then we gonna look at it
By the way I’m Kurdish and I been having driving test from august is my third test cuz i paid for some special people to do it faster

No, as soon as you have a fault big enough to fail, you fail. End of test. That could be 10 minutes, could be 10 seconds.

Frankly, given you've been driving illegally for 2 years you should not be allowed a UK license ever, imo, so count yourself lucky you've got the ability to have another chance.

You’re breaking the law if you drive in the U.K. without a full U.K. licence and insurance (unless you have a provisional licence with an appropriate supervisor that fulfils the DVSA’s requirements and with correct learner insurance). It’s not a difficult concept to grasp. Just because other people break the law in different ways doesn’t mean you can do so too.

Have a look at this for a more thorough explanation of the faults you can receive during a driving test:
https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/learning-to-drive/what-is-a-driving-test-fail/
https://www.drivingtestsuccess.com/blog/understanding-driving-test-faults

If you leave a driving lane, you may fail as it’s dangerous. Driving straight across a roundabout or straddling lanes is an example of this. Unfortunately loads of UK adults do this as they’ve picked up bad habits through the years, and they probably wouldn’t pass a modern test without lessons.

To be honest you should be more concerned with the fact that you’ve been driving illegally for so long - this is far more serious than disagreeing with your driving test instructor on a fault, and you put other people’s lives at risk as evidenced by the fact that you failed your first driving test.

This is a big bag of ridiculous. You shouldn't be driving. You only need one serious fault to fail, and you are breaking the law by driving without a licence.

What do you mean by that? I can't be like other people who break the law in different ways? why I need to be good like them and follow the rules been written by someone just like i and u. make rules and make us fool and busy in this world? my dad he has brain stroke cuz of my bad mentality I could pay someone £1700 and nobody knows it and pass it and that's it cuz I believed in my self i'm lorry driver and i been having more than 30 cars so far i'm only 20 So I HOPE U understand just because I was confidence for driving he was make little mistake even is not counted i'm not robot! I only had 1 minor even he was too old to see me when i was looking at mirrors and i already passed 3 roundabout without any issue only last one cuz ihe said go straight second roundabout I did went to bend car by the round about to second round about but i was aware car behind me going to second exist can't be front of him cuz the car behind was close and that ******** couldn't see it how the **** is possible fail only for that/ i already been driving here without license for 3 years without any acceding or damage is that not mean i'm good driver ?

If it’s one of the things on his list of major faults then he has to fail you. That’s how it works. Sometimes instructors are stricter but they generally will not fail you if they don’t have grounds to. They don’t make up fails for no reason because they don’t want to be reported. If it he wanted to make you fail on a serious fault (for whatever reason) he probably would’ve done it earlier in the test and taken you straight back.

The fact that you got through the majority of the test and only failed on the last roundabout suggests that it was a major fault.

Also you say it was the last roundabout but the length of your test seems short. You started at 8:20 and came back 9 minutes later? If so it wouldn’t have been the last roundabout? I might be wrong about what you mean here the paragraph was a bit confusing

Okay first of al you don’t ‘let’ other people hit you sometimes it just happens. If you drive without a valid U.K. license then you are breaking the law. There is no way around this.

Yes lots of people break the law. They are all in the wrong and should not be breaking the law. Laws exist for everyone and everyone should follow them. You may be an incredible driver but none of us on here have been in a car with you so we cannot judge. Regardless, if you drive in the U.K. without a valid U.K. drivers license then you are breaking the law.

A serious fault doesn’t necessarily mean you endangered his life in that second. It could mean that if there was a car next to you and you didn’t safely turn round the roundabout that would be dangerous. If you get a major fault then that automatically ends your test regardless of how long your test lasted. That’s the rules

Laws are there for safety. You should be good because it’s good to be good. Why would you want to be bad. It’s not that hard to just follow the law. The majority of people do it. How have you had 30 cars when you are only 20. That seems like a lot.

He may not have seen it but if he deems you dangerous then that’s it. No way around it. Good drivers can still fail for doing something dangerous. It is an examiners responsibility to make sure people drive well to all the rules on the test. Good drivers fault that’s just how it goes. It’s generally a 50% pass rate on average in the U.K. (varies from place to place)

Regardless of that you are breaking the law. I doubt you will get any sympathy on here. None of your justifications for breaking the law make up for the fact that you break the law.

He doesn’t know how long you’ve been driving he can only examine you on what he sees

Serious faults are serious not just because they may be dangerous at the time of the test but because they have the potential to be hazardous in future circumstances. One cannot be passed until the examiner is confident that in all situations you will have the experience and knowledge to avoid potentially dangerous driving.
