Now I feel confident and ready. I failed my test in the last few minutes when I made a mistake following the road and then got so nervous and made a series of mistakes.

      @@NiamhCogan I went in a bit too confident. I got a grade 3 for not realising my speed in built up area... the tester said my test actually did go well, my maneuver, positioning, progress and observation where all good... at the end she said there really wasn't much to brush up on or change but I needed to be more aware of my speed 🙃 I don't live near any built up areas etc and It was never a problem during the lessons either so my instructor was shocked but I've the next one booked so hopefully in 6 weeks I'll get it the second go.

  • @gcharada52
    @gcharada52 Před 2 lety +12

    What about the 'failing system'? We see ppl failing because did something and then failing because didn't do the exactly same thing?
    For example..my wife failed because she overtake a bus (stopped at a bus stop) in a 2 lane road. She pass on the right lane, same way.
    Other thing was that she 'looked too much to the mirrors while driving'.
    She has a full license from other country for 20 years.

      the way the test is graded is completely backwards, half of doing the test is just learning how they want you to drive rather than how you will actually drive once you pass
