I drove to the test centre to take my test as I had no other way of getting there believe it or not.
This is totally different circumstances to dealing with an issue on the road?
Instructor told me not to place a complaint because it will go against him and might go against me in my next test. He said he'll come along with me next time if it's the same instructor.
Unless things have changed, when I took my drivinf test I was told the following:
Always try and get the first test of the day.
Otherwise, if the tester happened to have the world's most perfect driver before you, then your minor mistakes will show up more. Of course, it would work to your advantage if the previous one was useless but better to have a "clean slate"
Secondly, testors were expected to fail a certain percentage of drivers. So if he had passed loads of people that week and needed to get his percentage down, then he might fail you for minor things when on another day you would have passed.
Don't let it get you down. You'll pass next time.
Statistically speaking, drivers who failed their first test are less likely to have an accident.
Try to be very deliberate in checking your mirrors and make sure you let the examiner see you doing it. Better luck next time.
[TW]Fox;16112367 said:You didnt fail your test because the examiner was a ****. You didnt fail the test because the examiner fell out with the instructor. You didnt fail the test because there is a quota.
You failed the test because your driving was below that required for a pass.
It's that simple. Suck it up, learn some more, and try again.
This is complete rubbish and utterly false.
You fail for one reason and one reason alone: Because your driving on the day was not at the required standard. No ifs, no buts.
Apparntly if you bugger up that navigation & the examiner has to tell you were to go then you fail, which tbh i find abit harsh.
