Driving Test Fail

[TheDanBurgess]

I did fail. ;(

7 Minors 1 Major

Major - Over taking a guy on a bike on a narrow road with parked cars, yet the driving examiner deemed it safe to over take.

Got back to the driving centre, Sorry you have failed 1 major, being overtaking that cyclist.

My reply was: Are you a comedian?

he got out said sorry and walked off.

Pure fagggggbaggg.!!!

[lighters]

unlucky :'(
hahaha at your reply if you said that though!

[Lucas_LFC]

Unlucky...but there is always next time

[johnlambert]

can you not appeal it?????

[Dom]

Appeal will only get a free re-test, not worth it after the shit you have to go through IMO, just book another one, hopefully next time you will pass :y:

[CarlosVT]

Unlucky mate. When are you going to re-book it?

[Smokin_Joe]

You only get a free re-test if you can show the test was not carried out in accordance with the conditions laid down by parliament.

You cannot contest an examiners judgement.

[Add91289]

what were you ment to do? follow him down the road at 5mph

[Ben]

Unlucky dude, a little like the owner of this car.

[MunkyBoy]

Shit man.

When have you got your next test? All you need is a shitty examiner :S

[adam19]

unlucky mate , hopefully next time will go your way :)

[Gary-VTR]

I did that and failed a test. 'Following too close' apparently - bit hard to follow a fcking cyclist up a steep hill, with a row of cars up your arse, yet maintaining a good distance without overtaking.

and Beter luck next time m8, i h8 cyclists and motor bikes haha, can never seem em till it so l8 :S

[eewun]

damn! unlucky. I've heard things about the examiners only being allowed to pass a certain number of people, looks bad if they pass too many people i guess, plus they make more money that way. you could have been an unlucky one.....if its true?!
Just what i've heard

[tobomoto]

there was a bit od a bump at the bottom of a hill i was on and the front wheels rolled down the bump and pushed the rest of the car backwards up the hill. 'incorrect use of handbrake'

yeah, I've hear that too, but not entirely sure if it is true. Hope not!

Nah it's not true.
There's some driving test forum where examiners post, and they've clarified it.

There's no denying they are biased towards age & gender though. Most girls and over 21s I know passed first time, yet 17-21 y/o lads rarely do.

I passed first time, I was 17 y/o lad ;)

[eewun]

I passed first time, I was 17 y/o lad ;)

+1 only 3 minors too :)

[K17NEY]

+1....6 minors

[TomBob]

Yeahh I passed at 17 too. Only 2 minors, for stalling twice. I was very pleased :)

[Woodham18]

+1 only 3 minors too :)

Same here lol

[W20TOM]

Unlucky mate seems a little harsh. You'll be fine next time chin up :y:

[Smokin_Joe]

I was an ADI for twenty years, and the examiners do have a quota system. It goes like this -

All those who cock something up, fail.

All those who don't, pass.

Believe me, if you ever sat in the back of the car during someone's driving test you would see they do not need to invent reasons to fail people. What would surprise you the most are the number of things they shut their eyes to.

[boarer2004]

i think the test should go more like this pull out of a drive way , get through town safely , go to supermarket park the car, over take a farmer , a bit of country road driving then pass

[saxo_burney]

man that sucks better luck on your next test!

[Ashleyp]

you rolled up a hill?? how the? lmao

maybe you should slow down then ;) and learn to spell

[daz_zz_er]

i passed mine third time lol and some examiners are just total twats tbh

[Pieface]

No, you are just a bad driver.

[Smokin_Joe]

i passed mine third time lol and some examiners are just total twats tbh
The ones who failed you, or the one who passed you? ;)

[Lawz]

passed at 17, 11 minors I think it was. Started leaving the test centre without putting the car into gear without realising as it was on a slight downhill :oops:

Didnt get marked on use of gears though, twice for clutch because I stalled twice though :P

[Oblivionm1ck]

I think he may of failed you because you asked if it was safe to pass when you should know

[chinkostu]

i passed at 19 first time ;)

[Hazmanscoop]

i passed second time.....

smashed my wing mirror the first time LOL

[Ashleyp]

lol. i love the "its the examiners fault i failed" comments.

the driving test system is stupidly easy imo. should be much more "proper driving" experiences involved. reversing round a corner isnt the hardest task invented

[cj_99]

I passed first time at 17 2months after my bday with 1minor.

The driving test is piss easy and the tasks they ask you to do any competent driver should be able to pass with ease.

Just think yourself lucky your not in that country where you have to learn for 2 years i think before you can take your test. (god why cant i remember the name of the country :( )

it's a scandanavian country iirc, takes 1 year to learn

they have less accidents / deaths

and much cheaper insurance

sounds horrible :P

[oli208]
