first one i drove like a driving genius and failed on something not entirely my fault, but entirely annoying.
second one i was really nervous, drove like a maniac, stalled about 10 times and thoroughly deserved to fail.
third time i did ok, but not as well as the first time, but still passed. odd.
Like I could fail with my dad being a driving instructor... :yeees:
First time I had 10 faults and 1 major. Which sucked.
Second time, 1 fault.
Loved it!
Hehe I sense some foul play here..taking your clothes off to *impress* the examiner.
:chin:
Although the examiner was young and was kinda flirting with me... :angel:
If you'd seen me you'd know it wouldn't be all that impressive, and I'd have been more likely to pass by putting them back on! Hehe!
First: 15 minors and 5 major faults
Second: 2 minors
1st: the examiner was a bit of a snooty bitch and failed me for hitting the thing when reversing into a parking bay and going to slow (yeah right) and i had 15 minors
2nd: 5 minors, on my way back to the test centre i was at a mini roundabout, the guy giving way to me (in a skoda no less) stopped so i went forward, he obviously saw the L plates and shot of, making me brake i.e i caused a hazard even though it wasnt my fault
3rd: the examiner told me he was from Southampton and it kinda went downhill from there, hit the kerb reversing around a corner and burst into tears and kinda lost it
all of those have been afternoon ones, im gonna go for a morning one next time, apparantly they pass more people in the morning
Have nearly crashed in four of my tests. :nervous: Ended up using beta-blockers for the last three because I got SO nervous and exams dont normally scare me. And the cost was getting horrendous.
Personally, I reckon if you haven't passed by the third attempt then you should pretty much give up. You really aren't cut out for driving! Just my opinion (which will probably offend a few people).
Oh - and most of these "examiner was a fooker" type excuses are bollocks. If you mess up or are a shit driver, then you fail. Simple as.
I once made a joke to my driving instructor actually, about this woman that works at the test center, she's failed about 5 of my friends and quite a few other people i know, i jokingly said well she must have passed somebody during her time, and my instructor was like i dunno she's never passed one of my students
Also you people and hitting the curb but still passing, how jammy i got told that was an instant fail ;(
Briony, it's good manners to answer your own questions!
Then again, Bolton does have one of the lowest pass rates in the country...
