That are a lot of people that fail because of the other drivers. I don't think for a second is fair, but they have to make their money one way or another... Sorry to hear that Lobo.

The real reason was me not taking formal lessons that they had the cheek to actually say.. examiners=sales ppl for instructors, bastards weeeell some examiners are just assholes I was failed on my third test for stopping before a roundabout because the moron that was on it was not indicating whether he was going of if or staing or whatever he was planning to do and for approaching a junction with unsafe speed how the fuck 8-10mph is unsafe when there is nobody on either road, should I bee stopping and pushing the car across or what… the second time a white wan driver undertook me whiteout indicating from my lane and started honking when I was changing lanes like normal… bullshit and that’s it.

Testers just mark as they see it. If you want to pass then go to Joe in Award school of Motoring. He is a former driver testers and knows all the tricks of the trade as to speak. I went with him and I passed Tester are not Hard Asses , They fail no one ,The driver passes or fails themself.

I was marked as failed for not checking my mirrors, even though I AWLAYS check them but my friend told me that if i dont make an abvious movement with my head to show i am looking then he cannot tell - i read in the manual that if you have to keep moving your head then your mirror is not in the correct position for you and you will be failed. !!! I cant win! The tester was not wearing his seatbelt so before i started the car i asked that he would (thinking it was a trick) he huffed and said 'can we just get on with it'. I waited outside the yellow box and he told me i should've moved on even though there was traffic ahead of me and meant i'd be sitting in the box. I am not looking forward to my 2nd time trying as i feel i've already failed I failed my test the first time and now i am applying for it again with very little confidence.

I was failed because of lack of observation during the reverse around the corner maneuvre. I was well passed the bend when a car turned into the minor street from my right. The instructor said I failed to look behind, but me being already into the minor road how am I supposed to see the car coming on the other road!!! As the maneuvre started and progressed, there were no cars on the street. The entrance to the estate is about 50 meters from the corner I was told to do the reversing. It is mental, I feel that I can never win with them...I have been driving for 14 years at home in Argentina and have a full driving license from there. It is quite upsetting at this point. Barb Hey,
