but need to let this out...

I Failed my driving test today, because of a stupid thing that should have never happened... I stalled on a roundabout because what I thought was 1st turned out to be 3rd... other than that I only got 5 minors... and I came home... and ate ice cream... like a whole tub :(

sorry... just needed to vent...

thanks for looking...

    Sorry to hear. Most people fail their first time, don't be too hard on yourself!

    I technically failed on my test too (damn california rolling stops...) but the lady was kind and passed me.


    Little did she know...

    Well, I'm about to get my license back once I pay off the $3,500 or so in tickets that I owe,,,

    anyway, if at first you don't succeed then dust yourself off and try again. You got this, girl!

    So you go right back as soon as you are eligible and don't make the same mistake.

    I'm a male...I passed my first time and have been driving accident/violation free since I was 15.

    But that sucks, I'm sorry. I watched a labmate of mine not get out of the lot because he couldn't parallel park a Camry in a pace big enough for a garbage truck.

    the problem with roundabouts is...

    ...that you feel like you're just going around in circles.

    Next time, try it this way. Then when you are finished, tell them to pass you or you are telling everyone they pee'd their pants!

    I'd pass you for being able to drive a manual.

    But she can't, which is why she failed. :laugh:

    I wouldn't feel bad at all...I am assuming that you're British...and I lived in the UK back in 1998... trust me; I wouldn't want to take your driving exam! It's tough!

    Don't worry about the ice cream... a minor road bump never stopped anyone! ;)

    I failed my first test because I forgot to buckle my seat belt :/ I started to back out of the parking spot, and the lady told me to stop and pull back in and that we were done lol

    Come to america, we let people of all skills drive! We don't even have many manual transmissions, they distract from eating and texting

    I failed my first driving test because I stopped at a red light. (or should I say slammed on the brakes when someone was right behind me and the lights had only just changed, and I should've kept going, and was major faulted for that........... major faulted for stopping at a red light, basically......)

    I'd pass you for being able to drive a manual.

    almost everyone in Britain does their test in a manual,. because if you do the test in an automatic, you're only allowed to drive automatics. If you pass your test in a manual, you can drive either.
