Driving test - how many tries? Started by: Padrino on Sep 03, '15 02:43
I just failed my driving test (first time) because I was so goddamn nervous. And when I say nervous, I mean traumatized. So how many attempts did it take for all you drivers to pass?
Report Post Tip

one, then too i was 2 or 3 points from failing it cause i kept forgetting to signal.

It was a little while back, but when I took mine I accidentally got in a right lane at a stop light. The catch was that it ended pretty quickly after the intersection and there was no way to get over, so this resulted in me having to race the person I was next to. I lost and looked like a dumbass, you'll be fine. keep on keepin on!

Aye, these kinds of things are nervy. I didn't fail it, but I had an instructor that was busy as fuck so we did a quick one. How much practice did you get in before you went? And did you pay to learn with an actual driving instructor?

Report Post Tip
40 classes of practice. I'm actually a good driver but being put to the test just terrifies me.

Ah fair enough. Maybe try some visualization techniques for that stuff. NLP works a treat too.

Report Post Tip
You can make numerous mistakes and still pass. I probably drove only 10 hours and took zero driver's ed before testing. Then again I was over 18 by that point.
Report Post Tip
First time I did pass that drivers test...lol

I remember on my written test, I was one question away from failing, and I only had one question left in the test - so I *had* to get it right.  Then the most stupid fucking question came up which I still remember:

How many feet away from a fire hydrant on the the corner of a street, do you have to park at minimum.

I'm all.. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh took a guesstimate and got it right.  But yeah, probably should have failed that written test :D

I passed first time. I was nervous too but my instructor had gave me a few tips on cracking a few jokes in response to typical questions the assessor asked. After that I settled down a little and although nervous I was definitely a lot less nervous.

Report Post Tip
Three times. I shouldn't have passed on the fourth...actually I did well the other three times haha
Report Post Tip

One time, got a point for not knowing the speed limit on a road.. Well not reading the sign technically.

Report Post Tip
I failed the written the first time but came back and passed the second go round. Passed the driving test on first try.
Report Post Tip

I passed both first try, but my driving test I came very, very close to failing. I'm just too cautious of a driver...

Report Post Tip

Passed the written test on the first try, took two tries to do the practical driving test. And only one test to earn my motorcycle endorsement.

Report Post Tip

passed first time but my father drilled road signs, stopping distances etc in to me as so paranoid i would kill myself or someone else.

Report Post Tip

Do not worry padrino, i failed my first attempt to ;) took me two times

Report Post Tip

I just have this anxiety about it that I can't even explain nor get rid of. It's like I know it's irrational, because I know I'm a good driver and I'm skilled enough to pass the test ten times over, but nerves just kill me.

Report Post Tip
Padrino it's one of those fears you'll never get over unless you face it head on. Like being afraid of heights and stepping out onto a balcony or something. You just gotta do it. The good thing is you won't die from the experience and can do it again another time.
