On which attempt did you pass your driving test?

[perth seagull]

Second time for me. I used to struggle with hill starts, I kept rolling backwards down the hill and stalling the car.

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

Second time for me - tester stopped me first time round for doing 60 in a 30 limit.

 

[Bwian]

First time-twice!

Once in England and then again when I moved to Canada.

 

[Billy Seagull]

First time in December 1987

18% it is, Ali! 0.18% would be pretty goddamn low!!!

Took all 3 (then passed) in Reading.

1st one - 4 majors 17 minors - went over a mini roundabout at 40.
2nd one - 1 major 2 minors (bastards)
3rd one - 0 majors 3 minors.

Reading is a pain because:

(1) the test centre road has a narrow road coming out of it, and the cycle path is almost impossible not to drive into
(2) nearly every street outside the city centre is Victorian terraced housing with cars parked on both sides of the road with hardly any space to drive down. Nightmare trying to turn anywhere...
(3) The IDR is gridlock for at least 37.5 hours per day.

But that's no excuse Ali, if I can pass then anyone can!

P.S. Change your signature after the URZ bit... its a bit inaccurate now innit?

1st time.Looking at the result I think we are quite good drivers around Brighton.
Will they let us park around Withdean now ?

I passed second time. Unfortunately first time round, I didn't notice a limited width sign and drove through it at speed. Having been in a reclined seat position, the examiner soon sat upright.

First time for me. Had to do two emergency stops during the test, the first one was the scheduled one, the second was because some prick cyclist decided to ride out from behind a large parked lorry and right across my path!!

The examiner told me that I was the calmest person he'd ever tested after he signed the bit of paper. I didn't feel very calm!!!



P.S. What's a theory test? Is it that bit at the end of the test when you get asked to identify a selection of roadsigns and markings?
