View Full Version : Random Poll Time!
How many attempts did it take to pass your driving test?
Passed 2nd time and after 14 lessons :)
Failed on the first for the reverse round a corner, it was up hill, and had been raining, but the sun had com out again. The sun reflected off the road and I didnt see a car until it was apparently "too late" :rolleyes:
Second test was 6 minors I think :D

Passed first time after 7 lessons but I had been driving on my mates farm for ages so had a bit of a head start :)
Passed first time, but nearly failed. Had made a complete balls up of the emergency stop, and one the way back to the test centre so silly bastard pulled out of a parking space right in front of me. Result, perfect emergency stop. :D
Taught Hayley to drive, but I'll let Hayley go into details on that :rolleyes: , she did pass first time though, and in our Capri :eek:
Passed first time even thought when the examiner told me to turn left I actually went right.
I so so full of flu that I really had no business behind the wheel of a car, but the examiner was just as bad so he let me off :D

Nowadays they teach you not to give a flying fcuk whether someone's on it or not. Or so it seems:( :mad:

3 for me. First time my fault - complete balls up.
Second time really p1ssed me off. It was 6 months after first test during which time I had been driving constantly and felt extremely confident about test. I was sitting at a roundabout at 5.30 in summer - busy as hell. Saw a gap behind a bus so as it was level with me I started to move forwards slowly - BANG goes breaks on dual control -
"you were going to hit the bus!!"
"No I wasnt, I was getting ready to nip in behind it"
"Dont tell me how to drive lad!"
"Dont tell me what I was going to do you muppet"
etc. etc.
3rd time 7 minors :D

Third time for me, first attempt failed for reversing round the corner and being 1ft away from the curb (the road was that wide both sides were 1ft off a curb!!) the second time I failed for speeding on a 30 limit (included going round roundabouts above the limit) :D

i passed first time then got my licence revoked after 8 months (totting up only 6pt licence) and then passed first time again within a year of passing the first time.
how may people have done that? ::o
Passed 1st time, 6 minors :D
Just over 2 years later was in court getting my 1st ban :rolleyes:
First time, mixture of thinking i knew what i was doing (been driving since i was 9!) and sheer fright.
Second time, just failed when a lorry cut me up, b@stad!
Third time, passed with flying colour, only two minors.
Conspiricy theory:
First time: Stuck up woman instructor,
Seconds time: " " "
Third time: really cool bloke who could believe i had failed before........
Women, your days are numbered:D i'm watching ya........
1st time for me... can't remember how many minors, sorry:p

1st time for me too. Had 8 lessons in 7 weeks and passed with 6 minors. Had driven off road a few times before but nothing major. I just picked it up very quickly as I used to watch the way my dad drove, so I knew pretty much knew how to drive a car. Its just everyone else getting in your way most of the time.
Cheers,
Richard
passed second time.... was driving for years on (ahem:rolleyes: ) private road before i took any lessons, went in for first test after 4 hours (enough to learn the 3pt turn n stuff) but cocked it up cos i got silly :D
Second test was a lot more relaxed - only got 4 minors :)
DOH!
I saw, random poll and clicked 4 for the hell of it, then saw what it was about!!
LOL, I passed 2nd time
cant remember why I failed first time to be honest, think it was lane discipline???

Can't remember what the minor was for, had something to do with avoiding a policecar tho :o

Past first time but had the advantage of learning to drive when i was 9
Cant remember how many minors but i did annoyingly stall the car 3 times on the test doing the parallel park and that was the only time i ever stalled the bloody instructors car in the 2 weeks i drove it. Bloody Kia Pride, lol

Did the same and clicked 5!!!!! but passed first time, with so many minors I think they guy had to pass someone to reach his quota or something! I actually mounted the kerb (twice) on reversing round the corner because of nerves. I had done it perfectly before the test:mad: Can't believe I passed....

At least I wasn't the only one subjected to a bloody Kia! Where's the pride in that? Huh? Huh? All my friends got Golfs, even Corsas. At I had a bloody Queer PRide with an ugly gay driving instructor with a stupid laugh and bad taste in jokes.

it was third time lucky for me:)
should have passed earlier but examiners seem to give young lads a harder time than others:mad:
even when i did pass he told me i sat to far from the wheel to control the car properly, :confused:
anyway carn,t be to bad only 8points so far.:D
1st time on my 17th birthday :p
Passed first time, both on theory and practical at the age of 17
I got 2 minors. I think.
One was doing a 3 point turn, chugged back a little, not enough revs, and the second was on gears. I was doing 65 down a dual carriage way and was in 4th gear:rolleyes: (corsa 1.2, 5 speed)
Only had 17 lessons (1/2 hr per lesson) and have never driven a car b4 that.:)
The first car I was insured on was a Citroen BX16RE with a newly 1.6i 16v engine replacement. learnt to drive in that.
the suspension thing was wierd but fun when you can adjust handling, well you could with this one;)
wrote it off within 6 months, due to suspension going haywire.:(
Passed the 1st time but the bitch failed me.
Failed the 2nd time and the bloke passed me! And I did the test in a blizzard (no sh!t). If the car had broken down I would've phoned for huskies, not the AA :D :D :D
