2

4 - can't remember what they are tho... failed my 1st test for pulling out and flooring it... the gap was big enough, but apparently I should have waited a further 10 mins for a "suitable" gap to appear (i.e. where you could have slotted in a bendy bus)... my examiner was a bit of an eejit on that one

3.

One for planning.
One for being too slow at traffic lights.
Another for hesitation.

Not too bad imo.

3.

One for being too close to a parked car while passing it (wtf)
2 for my really really crappy reverse round corner.

 

[flat-6]

17! I was convinced I was gonna fail. I did do it pretty quickly after turning 17 though, but still...

At least I am competant now.

I passed first time with 9, was close failing tho cos almost all of those were for mirrors. Cant remember how many minors in one area converted into a major.. think it was 6-7.

 

[MarkyMark]

1st test = 16 minors (hence me failing )
2nd test 4 minors (hence me passing )

Never had a major in my life well under test conditions

Passed first time on the morning of my 17th birthday.

I must say I agree totally with Vertigo1, the modern test is way to easy and lets lfar to many people on to our roads who are clearly incapable of controlling their car in a safe and responsible manner.

There should be no difference between a minor fail and a major fail, no if's or but's, a fail is a fail, full stop.

 

[monkeyspank]

2 minors. one for going into 3rd instead of 5th, one for not looking over shoulder after emergency stop

 

[Glaucus]

4 or 5... can't remember what for.

 

[Jon Frost]

0

[el_dazza]

6, can't remember what for tho :/

 

[Xez]

4 minors. Not sure what they were but one was not slowing down enough for the amount of space there was.

 

[Kaiju]

Just did my mock test, got 14 minors and 5 majors, no dangerous majors though. The instructor said i'm definitely on course though as most of the mock tests he does 2 weeks before the test get around 15 minors and 5 majors and pass first time. So he says.

I have to finetune my roundabouts and planning/awareness and that's about it he said. Passed all my manoeuvres.

 

[tom_nieto]

10 minors for me. I've still got the form somewhere, but I forget what they were all for. It was my first test.

 

[Mr Footlong]

I was failed on my first test. No minors but a big big fail for apparantly failing to crane my neck around enough to look back after an emergency stop, despite having good peripheral vision. The real kicker was that the examiner said 'If it's any consolation I don't see how you can possibly fail your next test'.......

Took test again a month later and passed perfectly, thought I was the dog's danglies and proceeded to crash 3 times in the following 3 months. 4 technically. 1. Sideswiped a car when badly judging how much room I had an another car coming the other way and decided that more speed was all that was needed. tried to slide my MiniMetro around a roundabout and proceeded to slide straight over it, the kurb ate my front wheels for breakfast, then sandwiched that car a few weeks after, writing it off, the proceded to slide next car on ice on a freak ice hail storm in a car park, slamming across 3 cars at once. That's some teenage testorone-driven skill right there ladies and gents .

 

[Jonners]

I got 8 but it doesn't really interest me what they were for.

 

[teh_captain]

Passed 1st time, 5 minors.

Can't remember and couldn't care less what they were for
