Practical driving advice
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2015 1:06 am
Am sorry for this long email am about to write. I am at the middle of deciding what the way forward is in passing my driving test. I will try to keep it simple and short as possible.
I have done my driving test for 6 times now with 1 major fault and about 2 minor fault for them all.
The first one I failed for moving off
the second test, i failed for lane discipline on a big roundabout.
the third test at a cross road junction as i was about to move a large van was over speeding and came fast to the junction. my bad again because i was slow to move or would have just waited well for the road to get clear before moving.
the fourth test it was an early morning one and a cyclist was in front of me which i over took but unfortunately the examiner said i didnt leave enough room for the cyclist when passing of which i thought i did because i was also considering the road because it was a 20 zone.
the fifth test i got failed on independent drive. i was told to turn right at the 3rd exit but i went to the middle lane approaching the roundabout so i could exit the roundabount being the first on the left but unfortunately for me the type of roundabout is just a different one.
the 6th test i did was at the roundabout of cribbscauseway whereby i exited the roundabout being on the right of which i did that becuase i was using the next right at the roundabout so i decided to stay there but unfortunately for me i failed because i was told i held up traffic.
This is so depressing for me but i am trying to be strong and give it my best till i pass. By the way i have an instructor who thinks am ready for the test but at the end of the test i keep having little thing as a mistake.
My question is : Do you think i should change my test centre as my husband suggested i do because i virtually know most of the test route and yet i still fail the test.
Also i need to figure out what the problem is as i have done alot of practice on my own so i can say the confidence is there as i have a car of my own and i still use the instructor for mock test.
Also do you reckon i get a new instructor maybe that can figure out what my problem is?
Please advice me.
Thank you
