It was a good job I wasn’t asked to do an emergency stop when I did my second test.” The test had to be stopped as he claimed mild concussion from what happened, but I apparently failed because I didn’t put the handbrake up at a traffic light instead! When I did the emergency stop he managed to smack his head into the front windscreen and cause a dent in the glass. However, it seemed my examiner hadn’t buckled up correctly. I was told to do an emergency stop which is fine. “I failed my first test and it was rather embarrassing. On the mean side, we did then start a team pool on his tests afterwards (he failed 3 more times after this if I remember) Happy to say Matt has now passed his test. The instructor had to take over full control of the car or they would have crashed. “We have a friend who had a catastrophe in his test. On my second test I failed because I was completely oblivious to a cyclist that was behind me and nearly reversed straight into him. Luckily my instructor was sat in the back so I didn’t have to do a walk of shame back to the test centre with the examiner in his hi-vis jacket! ![]() He then told me that he was going to have to stop the test because I was a danger to myself and others on the road! The examiner was in a complete panic telling me to slow down.Īfter we got out of the lanes the examiner asked me to pull over into the bus stop on the left hand side. “On my first test, I decided to put my foot down and go 70 mph along the country lanes. I was turning right back into the test centre, forgot to indicate and bumped the curb while parking at the test centre. “First time round, I had done the entire test, all going swimmingly, feeling super confident (the examiner was even smiling). I once indicated to turn into a street, only it wasn’t a street it was a grass verge! The list is endless so I decided to take my test in an automatic car last year which I then passed after years of failing in a manual car. Another time I drove the wrong way down a one one street. I hit the roundabout on 2 occasions which resulted in the examiner having to grab the steering wheel. “I’ve had over 280 driving lessons and failed 8 times over a 10 year period. Then in my second test, my instructor said go straight over at the roundabout so I took that a little too literally and went straight over a curbed roundabout! Needless to say I failed that test too. Did 50mph in a 30mph zone! In my defence I didn’t realise… Don’t take things too literallyįirst time, I was speeding. I was still optimistic that I might have passed but no such luck!” The second time I took the test I accidentally drove down a dual carriageway the wrong way! The instructor had to get involved and use the pedals to reverse us back up the road and into a layby. The first time I took the test I drank half a bottle of rescue remedy to calm my nerves, emergency stopped for a pigeon and then accidentally missed my turning on a roundabout, driving the instructor to Hereford on accident! The whole test took just under two hours because of my missed turning! The instructor slammed his elbow down on the side of the window and huffed that we’d be stuck in the car for a while! “I failed my driving test twice – finally passing on the third attempt! I panicked, swerved and almost crashed….instant fail!” They waited on the corner of the driving test centre and when I was coming they jumped out from around a corner cheering and waving a sign saying “good luck”. ![]() “I told my mates when my test was booked for. ![]() We asked you to share the weirdest, funniest, and just plain unluckiest ways in which you failed your driving test. ![]() Some of us fail more times than we’d like to admit.□ Learning to drive is hard and lots of us fail the first attempt.
