my drivin test earlier absoloutly gutted its a oiece of piss as well duno how i failed

Hard lines.

I passed 1st time. Boo ya :)

lucky bastard :D i gotta wait now until april 22nd for my next test gutted :P

Took me 3 times.

I failed on 1 little thing the first time.

On the one I passed I thought I had failed.

My examiner was the most cliche'd person you could ever meet, his voice sounded fake it was really weird. He must have had the most boring life in the world.

I dont like driving, its got a lot worse over the last few years, cameras, speed bumps, jams.

I prefer to be driven.

i failed over sumthin stupid i was about to pull off and i didn't look in my blind spot nd there was a car there but luckily i heard the car so i stopped but if that car hadn't of been there my instructer said i would have only had a minor for it nd then i would of passed.....oh well these things happen init

Why anyone would want to drive a car in this country is beyond me. £1.03 a litre petrol and £180 car tax. trout that!

'Mon the scooters B)

Passed my test at the first time of asking. Was a huge help that i was over a year driving unsupervised before taking my test though. :ph43r:

Do you need a chauffeur?

£100K a year

Being in the most expensive city in the world, im quite thankful I don't drive yet. Will probably take the test just in case I need it but won't ever drive anywhere unless it's essential/I move.

If I lived in London I wouldn't bother driving. I'd just tube it everywhere.

I passed second time, failed first time as I started going down a one way street the wrong way :blink:

kind of the same for me. I got two majors

1. there was a learner doing a 3 pt turn ahead and the examiner asked me to pull in so i signalled to pull in but as i turned into stop at the side of the road, the signal accidently clicked off but I didn't know and there were drivers behind who had been mislead.

2. then she asked me to pull away, id been a bit distracted and carelessly forgot to check the blind spot as i pulled away but there wasnt a car there- got a major for that as well. So got 2 majors in the space of 2 minutes.

Second time round i passed with 2 minors - 1 of them was for cancelling the signal to early when leaving the roundabout.

No as I now live half the year in the US I need a car but driving over here is easier than the UK but if I can get a lift I prefer it.

I still dont know why I failed my first test.

It was reversing round a corner, the examiner said he will tell me when to stop but I reversed for ages and he said nothing so i thought to myself surely I should stop so I did. He didnt explain what I did wrong and I cant remember asking him why.

He was weird.

It's actually quicker for me to cycle the five miles to work at rush hour because traffic is that bad! I used to always cycle to work before i learned how to drive and then i started driving only when the weather was bad, now i drive nearly all the time simply out of laziness. I really should start cycling again because it will help keep me fit and it will save me money on petrol.

I still always walk to University though because it's a nightmare to get parking and i'm only 20 mins walk away.

Exactly the same reason I failed my first test.

I passed third time...5 years ago. But I haven't driven for the last 3. No need, too much bother!

Passed mine second time.

Failed my first one with 1 major for something ridiculous. Later found out that the examiner I had served 6 years in an Australian prison for smuggling cocaine, so I blame it on that...

Second test - stalled twice, on my way out of the test centre, and at a roundabout, and passed! Had a very nice, portly woman as examiner, and I couldn't use the handbrake without touching her ass...

This was about 6 months ago. Glad it's done, but it wasn't that bad. My instructor was a Chelsea season ticket holder so it was just an hour of football talk and winding him up a week...

Passed on my fifth go. Pressure kind of got to me...funny because I've always been pretty good at other tests, exams etc.

Driving's alright, but Lord I hated learning. Got taught by a woman who was younger and more attractive than a driving instructor has any right to be - she was a right horrible cow though, pretty nasty on occasion (I put up with it, being rather pathetic when I was 17). Think I would have passed a lot earlier with the more usual "slightly odd-smelling middle-aged bloke who looked like he had unhealthy sexual ambitions" type of instructor :(
