It took me 3 attempts to pass.
The first attempt I had 4 minors and it started to rain lightly, the examiner asked me to pull over and stop twice then on the third he asked me if there was anything I wanted to do and I replied no. He then asked me to turn my lights on and it was an instant fail.
On the second attempt I clipped the curb with the wheel coming out of the test centre as I turned, this was another instant fail.
This always will make everyone feel better.
Mate pulls up to the test centre with his mum. Gets out the car and locks it to go in and start the test. Goes through the usual stuff, takes the examiner to his car (a green Daewoo Matiz 02, "sport"). Examiner asks "can you let me into your car", mate turns red with embarrassment to see his keys in the ignition locked in the car.
One less in the first time club. We are a rare breed![]()
Never even made it to the test centre the first time. Got 100 yards away after putting up with the **** of an instructor telling me I was going to fail constantly. Turned the car round on the roundabout, drove home in silence then told him to go **** himself.
Passed first time, 2 minors, no accidents, no bumps, nothing in 4 years.
You have no idea how angry it makes me when people say "people who pass the 2nd time are the better drivers".
Such a ******* load of ****. Passed first time, 2 minors, no accidents, no bumps, nothing in 4 years.
Anyway, rant out of the way; You'll get it the second time, sounds like you're comfortable driving and comfortable with your level of skills so it'll be a doddle, just a little later down the line!
The best drivers always pass the second time![]()

It just gives you a bit of experience having failed once already, like learning from mistakes if you fail you want to try and get better, like anything in life.
however It doesn't mean you're a bad driver if you pass first time, its quite an achievement to be fair.

Don't get so upset because you passed first time. Us 2nd time passes won't look down on you, with us being the better drivers and all that.
