The two reasons why i failed my driving test for the 3rd time :-(
Im really gutted that i failed as i actually did a really good drive. I only had 7 minor marks and your allowed 16.
I messed up in 3 areas 2 of which resulted in a fail.
The first one was my reverse round a corner. Im never brilliant at this, but ive been able to sort out any error in my lessons if ive over or under turned the steering wheel at the bend, so i wasnt overly nervous about doing it. It completly threw me though when my starting position was half way up a hill and had to reverse up the hill to turn the corner. The second one was as i was approaching another hill. I thought i had enough speed to go into 3rd and then 4th. Half way up the hill the car was struggling a bit so i corrected the error and went back down to 2nd gear. This would have normally only resulted in getting a minor mark, but there was another car behind me and it caused the other car to slow down. So again a instant fail :-(
Im so annoyed with myself that ive failed again. I checked out the DVLA website when i got home and discovered that there are no test dates available until the middle of December. Ive now got to decide whether i book another test for round here and come back to parents for a couple of days or start from scratch and book a test in Sheffield. I really like my instructor and the actual route wasnt that hard, but then im not sure if i should just take my next test in Sheffield as i have to get used to the roads there anyway. Oh well, its something i will have to leave thinking about for a couple of weeks as i have loads of other stuff to get sorted before then.
