I took four attempts,

1st time = a bloody porsche was on the inside of a roundabout indicating as if he was going around the roundabout so i pulled out because i was only going to the left and not going into the roundabout (hard to explain!) .. only 4 minors

2nd time = had a senior examiner who failed (a serious) me on nervousness lol 4 minors

3rd time = the bloke was a dirty perve and was talking to me about top gear... made me lose concentration and i almost failed to stop for red lights at a crossing (nobody was there, either they had just crossed or somebody pressed the button) fair enough you have to get used to driving with people talking, but on your test... it's not the best thing lol although i did stop at the crossing, i just saw it as i was about the cross the markings and we both put our feet on the pedals at the same time ¬_¬ .. 4 minors again

4th time lucky 4 minors again.. lol!

Best of luck i found rescue remedy did the trick for me!... as well as amythyst... quartz... a small teddy thing my dad got me... and another my grandad got me... and i inhaled lavender oil before to calm me down and put some on a tissue and stuck it in my sleeve.

I was a bit superstitious that last test haha, my driving instructor *drunk* himself laughing at me hehe

well who wants to guess the outcome

BAD

i only got 9 minors and one serious because i was coming up to the lights and i stopped on a green just before it went orange yes i could have got through it but they change so fast i didnt want to just slam the brakes on

my brother failed cause he had to go throught a yellow



other then that it was very clean

and then i had to get the tram to wimbledon common to join my college group for a massive WALK around the common following a map

what a brilliant day wish i could replay it

Bad luck mate, but don't become disheartened. Put in for a re-test as soon as you can and try and get as much practice as you can in your Mini.

It's what I did and I walked mine the second time around.

Exactly right. You'll do it next time.

someone told me that a good way to stay calm is to just pretend that you are being a taxi driver for someone and they are asking silly questions like to turn around and do a parra park.
it worked for me
my insructor was pretty useless because he wouldnt change what he was teaching, in a lot of my practice tests i would fail on observation over my right shoulder(even though there is a thing called a wing mirror) he wouldnt let me know that i should be doing something and he wouldntshut up about his car going wrong,

he nearly made me late on my first test by making me drive absolutely miles away then we got stuck in traffic and he got really angry and told me to just speed so we werent late
