Don't be so hard on yourself. Actually failing the first time relaxes you for the second chance. You'll feel much less anxious about the test because you'll know pretty much what to expect. Take your time. Driving 25 mph is a good thing. Remember when you stop at a street corner, before a cross walk, you should be able to see the entire crosswalk from the driver's seat. In other words, don't drive up to the crosswalk line. Stop far enough back so you can see the lines from the car easily. Be sure to use your blinkers when changing lanes. Be sure to use all your mirrors. You'll do fine the second time around.

Would it help you to know many people don't pass their first time out?
My son failed his maneuverability and wasn't even allowed to take his road test. The next week he came back, passed maneuverability and then failed the road test because he was too "jerky" with the car.
Like another answerer said, third time was the charm for him. Mainly because he had to learn what to expect and what the instructor wanted to see.
Remember, it happens to quite a few people. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Try again in 10 days, relax, take it slow, you'll do fine.
I hope that helped you feel a little bit better.
Be Safe, God Bless.

I failed my first road test too. At least you made it out of the parking lot. I completely forgot to have my foot on the brake and then shift into gear. I spaced out for awhile and then he failed me :(. Oh well, I'll try again that's pretty much all we can do. I know how disappointed you feel, almost has if you're a total failure. See it this way first impressions are always awful.

It's not the end. Only 10 days. Just try to be more focused. Practice with your mom or dad more. When I was in high school, my dad would let me drive to give me practice. This will make you laugh....
One day, I decided to back my dad's truck out of the garage. Instead of letting the brakes off easy and letting it back out, I slammed on the accelerator too much and went backwards really fast. This was before any driver's training or practice. I didn't ask my dad first. Just was a little too eager. The truck went back really fast I freaked out and slammed on the brakes. It was half way out, but I got so shook up, I stopped. I think my dad saw the whole thing because he came out laughing. My hands wouldn't stop shaking and nerves were out of whack, lol. You'll do fine. Just focus next time.

you know what dont worry about it. Believe it or not my birthday is today and I went to take my test this morning and I also failed. I went into the manuverability course and it was pouring rain outside. It was so hard to see I knocked over the cone. Its miserable and it sucks especially since you waited so long but hold on and try again and you will get it.

My daughter is going through the same thing. She is 19 and going to start driving school tomorrow, even though she still has to go to DMV for final road test. She is so upset right now and has cried all day. I told her that she would eventually get it. So will you. Don't give up, try again. You do learn from your mistakes.

Don't make excuses for why you failed. Just try again until you pass. Its a very good thing to fail the first time, trust me MANY fail their first test.
