    Well you got very little minors so that's good.

    I managed 21 minors first time so you did fine on that acount.

    Next time it'll be yours.

    All the best drivers pass second time round anyway, it's a well known fact (I did). Better luck next time :).

    unlucky :(

    i only got 2 minors, both in the first 5 minutes (both for not looking over my right shoulder long enough when i had stopped)

    i had to do an emergency stop too :waah:

    well, good luck to the next time, least you know what to expect now :)

    It really is true that the better drivers pass the second time around. Who knows why.

    Unlucky :( but I'm sure you'll pass next time!

    I failed my first one about a month ago (2 majors and 6 minors), and I haven't been able to get another test until the 18th of December :waah: since the demand in this area for tests is so high, and the testing system so inadequate. With luck I shall get myself a cancellation so I can do it sooner though :)

    Ah don;t worry mate, it took me 4 attempts and no doubt like every one else says 'you learn to drive after you pass your test'. Its true you do.

    I failed my first time with 2 serious majors and 5 minors, then my second time just on my reverse park by 4" then on my third reverse round a left hand corner she said i didn't look before I commited my self :(

    But my forth, the women said and get this 'you need to put your foot down a bit more', needless to say that advice is now put in to practice :D:D

    Good luck for the next one!

    TIP: Use your own car if you've got one I did on the my 2nd 3rd and 4th makes it cheaper :p no point in paying your intructor for the hour he sits aorund doing bugger all, mine I think went to the pub :rock: (then drove me home :rolleyes: :eeek: )

    cheers for all the support peeps...u can always rely on the good people of bit-tech to cheer u up.

    Although i wasnt upset...jus dissapointed cos other then the curb but, i thought i done well. My reverse park was spot on except for the "not lookin over left shoulder enuf" excuse :p

    The intructor was new apparently and wall likely sticking to the book real strict...black is black, white is white...ect.

    I passed my test a week ago now. I got 4 minors, but it was my second time. My instructor was quite angry after my first one because the woman took me up a really horrible road that they don't usually use. Anyway, If you pass first time then you are probably being too cautious.
    I also think the test is not a very good test of your abilities. In my first test, I was told that I was a very good driver but I still failed. Oh well. good luck next time, hopefully you can get another test this year!! (you can't around here)

    Of course it does work out better for them if they can fail you as they get another load of cash out of you ;)

    I am learning to drive at the moment, only 8 hours so far.

    Gutted mate, still haven't passed mine so I'm a fine one to talk... ;) (driving on provis at the moment, it's a pain having a license holder in the car).
