UK question: Did you fail your driving test?

Question

What did they fail you on?

Answer 1

I failed four times but only had five lessons so I reckon i saved money in the long run. Once I never noticed an Unmarked junction. Once I went over the speed limit. Once Some ned came up behind me and came so close that I lost it a bit. And once I hit the kerb doing the reverse park. But don't wory that you won't pass yuo probably will.....good luck.

Answer 2

i passed first time but i know they can fail you on getting so many minor errors or if you just get 1 major error like if turning right from a main road into a main road and going over the central white line or if waiting on a slope downwards with handbrake not fully on if you roll downwards towards traffic that will fail you instantly, ask your driving instructor he she will be able to help you, dont worry too much though nerves will make you do silly mistakes!! a few suggestions though make sure you look at the speed limits at each turn and if you come to a junction and they dont give you an instruction as to go left or right there will be a one way only sign infront of you, i nearly got caught out on that one, was about to ask which way to turn when i saw the sign.... they can be very tricky those driving examiner's!!

good luck

Answer 3

I failed first time and passed second time. I failed on so many things, I just went to pieces. I stalled about 8 times including in a yellow box, the parallel parking was a shambles and so it went on. I now love driving but still can't parallel park to save my life!

Answer 4

I failed for stopping just over the white line - my instructor told me I'd be lucky to pass with the examiner I was given so that made me feel totally confident before I started the test! Passed second time tho!

Answer 5

I failed 4 times, too fast, too slow, clipped a corner, can't remember the fourth and passed with 3 minor faults fifth time lucky. Since then have written one car off head on into a Porsche (company car) at 30mph each way and wrecked a bumper on a Vitara. Some say I shouldn't have my license at all. I tend to agree with them!

Answer 6

Passed my Car, Bike and Class 2 HGV licences 1st time, but only passed my Class 1HGV on the third attempt. Failed on my uphill start (damn Focus in my blindspot) first time and I think it was innappropriate use of gears and having to readjust to avoid taking the trailer over a kerb on the second go.

Answer 7

No passed first time but best mate failed hers for driving too slow down a country lane - she was doing 50 (fast enough I thought). Failed next one for driving too fast down country lane (55mph?!?!!)
Failed next one cos she had to stop to let a combine out on same country road and another one followed. Failed cos she shouldn't have let second one out! Renault clio versus John Deere Combine Harvester? Hmm don't think u can really say that she had much choice there.
She is taking it again in 6 wks and is refusing to go down any country roads!!

Answer 8

Yep. I still can't drive and I'm 29. I have to cycle and skateboard everywhere. You crash a car a few times in lessons and next thing you know you are pretty much banned. I failed my test by hitting a lampost head on. Not my fault it jumped in front of me at the last min.

Answer 9

No. I never failed a UK driving test.

Answer 10

My sister didn't fail her driving test but everyone wanted her to because she was such a bad driver, and then a week after passing she crashed into a tree!
