Lets just say it wasnt first ... :)

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

i'll admit it .. i didnt ... not saying how many times though ... :p

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

Go on, you say how many times it took you then I will. I am not going first, you will laugh at me :rolleyes:

One girl from school took her test and the examiner used his brakes to stop them going across an unmarked cross roads. She still passed !!

I asked her how short her skirt was. I was young and my sarcasm was less evolved than it is now :D:D:D

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

one driving test the examiner said we'll do the emergency stop ... not even 5 minutes into the test ... when i say stop etc .. you know the drill ... anyway he shouted stop .. my foot slipped off the brake onto the accelerator ..:D:D:D

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

So how many attempts did it take you. I prefer not to think of them as failures, just practice runs :D

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

too many 'practice runs' ... my family all lost count ..:D:D:D in actual fact when i went for the last one .. the driving examiner said have you not passed yet ....

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

unlike you to be shy about something so it must have been a lot

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

i actually found it was better to go to bury rather than blackburn or nelson to take your test ...

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

less embarrassing to keep using different test centres so you were not recognised? :rolleyes::D

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

how did you guess? :D:D:D all except for 1 of them ...

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

Passed third time, here. My wife passed first time.

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

On my first test the examiner said he was going to ask me to do an emergancy stop, he tapped his hand on the dash board and I hit the breaks, there was a slight sigh from the examiner together with Jesus Christ, I didn't pass on that occasion:D

Re: Why Don't Drivers Slow Down?
 

On my first test the driving school car had a fault.
The instructor advised me to explain this to the examiner.
I needed to switch off the engine in order to select reverse gear.
This was unnerving to say the least, and I mounted the kerb whilst reversing, and failed.
The second test, I took in my own car and passed.

Took my first test in 1980 took my last test in 2004. :eek:


Only took the two tests. :D
Did not drive after my first test until re starting lessons in 2004.
