  • Today I FINALLY passed my driving test! However, this was not my first attempt: I'd already failed three times! Here's my story about how I managed to mess it up three times and why it doesn't matter.

    Failed twice already, months later i'm looking to book my 3rd test. At Least research has supposedly says that the more intelligent you are the more times you're likely to fail because your brain over analyses situations resulting you in forgetting to do an obvious thing.

      £62.00?? I'm from the Netherlands and failed for the second time today. The fails are a hard hit by itself, hence me watching this video/the comments for comfort. Although the stupid thing here is an exam costs around £200.00 (€235.00) and you have to take 2/4 lessons prior to your re-exam, which costs ~£35.00 (

  • @darbymcneill7795
    @darbymcneill7795 5 лет назад +3

    Failed my test the second time today! I'm planning on going like two days from now and hopefully, I can pass. I failed the first and second time both with immediate disqualifications, making the test end early, so I've never even gotten to the three-point turn on any test I've done even though I know how to do it! It sucks because most people I know who fail are super responsible drivers fail just because they're not being defensive enough. It's normally other people's actions on the road that affect you. But thank you for this video it really makes me feel a lot better. I'm hoping just to hop right back in and pass cause it's so frustrating. I think failing the second time is the hardest because after failing once you're like, "I've got this next time," and go in with a bunch of confidence only to be let down. I love your videos so much though and this one is currently giving me some much-needed therapy.

    😂) 2nd time I was lit 2 minutes away from the test centre and a man walks out in front of me and examiner grabs my wheel and today I failed because I didn’t turn my head dramatically enough to the right when I had to reverse back 2 car parking spaces.... fingers crossed 4th time lucky.

I did but it was a short turn and I went into the wrong lane so I moved back into the other lane the examiner told me like “you’re in the wrong lane” I’m like fuck I kno I’m just nervous and failed … I was pissed my nerves just keep getting to me ugh.

    Thank you for posting this video. You made me laugh throughout the video. I was so bummed out about failing my drivers test and I thought everyone passes on their first time. I think I couldn't handle the pressure because I drive fine alone but on the test day I was so nervous. I took mines on 09/12/2017. Plus my instructor was rude as hell. But I will give it another shot thanks to your encouragement.

    I failed my test and everything that could've gone wrong, did go wrong. The break lights stopped working minutes before the test so I was late, I got a mean examiner who rarely passes people and a horrific test route. Not to mention I live in LONDON so it was busy anyways considering my test was 8:20 and I had to do reverse around the corner on a hill, it's like I was set up to fail. My next test is soon though and I hope to pass but we'll just see what happens, it can't go worse than the first one anyways 😂🤷🏾‍♀️

    I passed first time, here are 4 tips I can give
    Have a good night sleep as it’s vital for concentration.
    The morning of your test (or whatever time it is) get excited for passing and think good thoughts. ( Don’t get overconfident though).
    REALLY TRY TO CALM THE NERVES ONCE YOU GET TO THE TEST CENTRE.
    And finally, if you do make a mistake during the test. DO NOT dwell on it and prove to the examiner you’re a good driver by just carrying on and you may just get a minor or they probably will ignore it.
    Anyone taking their test, best of luck hopefully you come out on top👊👊

I only got 1 major and 1 minor, and the major was "driving too close to parked cars"... it was in a residential area, I was going about 17/18 mph tops, and there was barely enough space for one car to go down the road, as cars were parked on either side of the road.

I booked my second test for over a months time away and I became a much better driver in that time but I failed again and this time the test went worse than the first time! It's so true how every test is different. My second test was much harder with way more hazards and I ended up making misatakes that I would never make in my lessons. It's knocked my confidence massively as I am a huge perfectionist and not used to failing. Now I have to go through the stress of another test. I just want to pass so badly :(
