Something even worse than failing your driving test is being told you're still not ready to take it! I've had like almost 100 hours now and three mock tests where I've made one serious error and a few minors in each so that's not awful but my instructor still feels I'm not quite there yet 😑😒😔. The mock tests I took aren't the worst and I've seen many people keep failing them days before their year and yet still go for their test. So I think I should but my instructor still feels like I'm not like the average learner, where usually you'll be able to pinpoint where the weaknesses are. For me the main issue is focus and my mistakes are slightly more random. He did say he can't really teach me anything new at this point because he feels I know what to do: I have all the skills to drive and have all the potential, very good car control etc but can't maintain the level for long enough due to lack of concentration. Like I'll drive really well for 30 mins and then make a mistake, dwell on it, lose focus then make another error and so on. Then my negative thoughts remind me how useless I am for taking this long. I guess what worries me is that if it's the case that I can't be taught anything new, then I may never be able to do this. I'm almost 40 so age doesn't help but after this many hours I should be there. It is really demoralising. I've had three instructors with some bad experiences with the previous two, some big gaps in between like a month with no driving. I feel very inadequate and worthless as a human being. I've never been that confident in myself so this isn't helping. I feel like there has to be something really wrong with me to fail like this. I'm already a failure in life, unfulfilling admin job, haven't had a relationship in many years. I wish I was never born. Hate what I've become. Anyway regardless, Monday I'll have a final mock test and then decide if I need to delay the test which will be difficult to accept after so many hours and lessons and money.
Don’t give up on a goal on passing your test as when you do achieve your aim it will improve your self esteem independence and confidence. Treat your test as a small stepping stone; the further you progress the more confident you will be. Don’t forget the real driving test is just a snapshot of how you perform for 40 minutes. Just exude confidence 😊😊

Excellent advice throughout, especially where you said be calm and safety first when family is in the car. Keep up the good educational work.
Thank you very much
MATE!!, Thanks for this content, cos really help me pass my test yesterday. Thank you much
Congratulations that's good to hear
Hi Marshall, I watched the driving video. Which is very helpful. But my concern is my anxiety,nervous. How to get rid.
I’ve got that too, but after this mock test I’m more confident
When you practice driving and take it the driving lessons you feel more confident and relax 😊
After this mock test I’ve passed my driving test with 0 minors 2 days ago
You can do it! More Practice
