1st failed for going to fast. At the roundabout before the test centre I misjudged the speed of a car approaching the roundabout from the right and accelerated to get their first. The examiner hit the brakes and I landed up on top of a raised roundabout. Fail.
2nd. Failed for being to careful! FFS
3rd. Got followed around by a group of mates in a Ford Escort who knew it was my test, overtaking and beeping the horn. Very ******* funny. Had the same examiner as the first two. A humorless 6 foot 6 inches miserable tosser who grimaced every time he saw my examiners Ford Focus. After a comment from him asking if I knew about the twats shouting
'MF u ******' he failed me after a perfect drive. I lost the plot and told him to fook off, backed up by my examiner who also called him a twat.
I the waited another 4 years before taking it again this time in London at 21 and passing easily. Never had an accident, near miss or even a scratch in 20 years.
Failed the first time and I am still bitter about it.
I failed for not bringing the car to a complete stop at a stop sign.
The junction was onto a street that was one-way from the right. The road to the right was closed for roadworks and I knew it was closed.
So I slowed right down, checked that it was still closed and nothing was approaching, then carried on.
Fail.
Grrrrrrrrr
I am driving in a different country now so the signs are slightly different but my Mrs, who is the worst back-seat driver you could imagine, says that I am still the same. I completely ignore whether the sign says stop or give-way and make my own decision.
First time in London- Failed, pulling back into driving centre I hit accelerate instead of break, nearly went through the wall - instant fail.
Second time in Lancashire - too scared to hit 5th gear on motorway - instant fail
Third time in Lancashire - indicator on car failed - didnt leave the car park
Forth time passed - week later driving a chrysler x4 in North Carolina, 6 weeks training with work - that is when I really learned to drive!
Reversing around a corner was fairly tricky, and I passed my test teh day some clown put a box junction in Chippenham, so I just drove over it, not knowing what it was. Luckily, it was clear and they didn't ask me what it was, for I had no idea at the time. 3 weeks after my 17th borthday, but I'd been driving for about a year
