How many Minors did you get , When you passed Your Driving Test ?

6 minors, 3 of which were for hesitation. I guess I was too careful, but hey, passed first time so don't really care.

1 minor on first test and i was silly chuffed about it as i expected to fail after some horrible horrible pre test driving on the morning

it was for knocking my indicator from left to right (for a brief second) when i was trying to switch it off.

funny thing is me and my instructor had always been slagging of those damn astras sensitive indicators

god knows how some of you only got minors for speeding :eek:

its supposed to be an instant fail, some testers round here would even make you abandon the car according to me instructors

I can't remember what they were for as they were a while ago, but I got 2 on my car test and 0 on my bike test.

2 minors, on 2nd attempt

1st - for NOT driving in a bus lane, the signs saying when the bus lane was in use were covered in black bin liners (so obvious...), therefore I could and should have been driving it in - even though the 4 cars in front of me weren't...

2nd - driving over the hatchings at a junction (the last junction before turning into the test center).

I love bus lanes with timed restrictions. Bev road in Hull when I was up there was great - mile or so queue, and an empty bus lane that was only in operation for an hour or so a day in each direction. Used to save about 15 minutes each time I used it

6 minors

4 for Steering - No clue what these were for, maybe not keeping both hands on the wheel? Examiner didnt tell me
1 for Awareness/Planning - squeezed through a tight gap between parked car and oncoming truck
1 for footbrake - Came off a left hand filter immediately into a give way junction, had to brake hardish to stay behind the line

Oh, forgot to add I failed my first test because of two majors.

One was for performing a 7m uncontrolled Skid whilst braking from 25mph in a car equipped with ABS in dry conditions.

Now that IS crazy!

I couldn't even do that if I tried!

What did you do go back and measure it?
