Failed again today, have another one booked 12 January however!

Today was, truly astonishing! I cannot belive how f***ing baldy i drove today.

i was lucky to get two serious. Very lucky, i was piss poor from start to finish. What was incredible was my instructor said you will definatly pass, he even said in the morning he had someone who passed who i'm a lot more skilled than but i still failed badly and just felt totally helpless.

My word the examiner was a REALLY REALLY nice woman, helped me out a lot, spoke softly. Didn't feel too nervous just felt, well, out of control. It's was so starnge. i just couldn't settle down and get going. Just drove like total shit. My instructor was shocked. he just couldn't believe how crap i was today, it was like watching two different people. Just crazy!

As you all know i've become a very spiritual person. I'm have to admit the voice in my head which kept screaming 2012!! Everytime i thought about the driving test. I think thats my intuition trying to guide me. I will pass but i seems i'll pass when fate allows me, i'll find out 12 January why i need to pass that day.

Also i don't feel the least bit upset or angry, i mean i deserved it. However it's almost as if i can see the trainlines fate has set out for me.

Dejan i passed, i only had 6 minors, i need more than 15 minors to fail or just one serious fault.

Its hard over here however it all depends on the instructor and how your examiner is on the day.

It covers four manovers 'Parallel Parking', 'reverse round corner', 'turn in road' and parking into a bay. You need to do one of these.

You have 10 mintues of independent driving where you have to follow road signs by yourself.

and then it's general driving. Roads here are at times very complex and confusing, things like huge 3/4 lane roundabouts where you must signal at certian times, or roundabouts with certian special rules, London is obviously the worst with traffic everywhere etc..

for my first test which was supposed to be in 2009, i 'failed' but i didn't take it at all because the c*** instructor didn't turn up. Only sat 5 or 4 1/2 tests. (3rd test i cancelled halfway trhough, the guy was an ass)

There's one online where someone passed with 14 minors :lol: although the woman marking here was really harsh.

14 is basically a minor at every turn really.
