Poll: Driving tests: how many attempts.

[Matt-the-twat]

*Le sigh.

Don't remind me I need to re-book my test, I thought this place was for escapism

I've failed 3 times. None of which for technical manoeuvres, all of which for being a complete spastic when it comes to driving etiquette. Let's hope I pass the next time.

 

[Kurokasumi]

Dunno if it counts for the thread but the only test I have taken was for my Class 7 learners. It took me 3 tries.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE IT BEEEOTCH!
I got mine without having to take the test because I had an A in Drivers Ed through my school;
And we went in a half hour before they closed so they couldn't randomly spot check me.

You just might have the coolest avatar I've seen on this site.

OT: Passed on my first try. My only error was that he told me to "stop" at one point, which I obviously assumed to be a gradual stop rather than a jolt.

After the test, I looked and I got points off for failing the "quick stop". It would've been nice if he threw that extra word in.

Still, I passed; no worries.

I passed on my first try and so far I'm only the second person in my family who has been able to do that.

 

[Loop Stricken]

I passed first time after reversing into the testing car park and mounting the kerb.

It was acknowledged to be an awkward kerb.

 

[Mcupobob]

Well my first attempt is in 10 days *crosses fingers* though my friend who happens to be the scariest driver ever pass some I'm not to worried.

I got it my first time through. Interestingly enough while doing parallel parking, I was only about half done and they said that was fine (I guess they saw I knew what I was doing).

I did, however, lose points at one point because some other driver made a left hand turn from a side street illegally while I was waiting to turn left into it. He pulled out, as fast as possible, cutting off on-coming traffic which slammed on the brakes. Reason why I lost points : I didn't pull out far enough to block him from doing that. Strange.. seeing as he had to swerve around my car to make the turn...

I got a 92 on my written, but I had to take my practical twice. Who puts a damn stop sign on telephone poll!? Gah, that still pisses me off to this day. Oh well, been driving for four/five years now, and not so much as a warning.

 

[Ravek]

I passed the first time, although only barely. I was shit nervous.

I'm an okay driver these days.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

It took me three times.

The first examiner wouldn't have given my a chance even had I aced it (she hated me on site), the second one told me to parallel park into a giant hole. I passed the third time and never looked back.

 

[Dorby5826and360]

It took me two attempts to pass the drivers test. The first time I did perfectly on the parallel parking, but the parts I messed up on was I was driving 3MPH over the speed limit; I stopped over the line at a red light; and I passed a road that I was supposed to turn onto. On the second test I messed up on the parallel parking, but since it was the same person watching he let it go, the rest of the test I did fine.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Oh, also? About two months after passing I caught myself driving only using one hand.
About three months after, I drove about 10mph over the limit, in any weather.

 

[Ph33nix]

1 try beat that shit out of the park

 

[Skorpyo]

I got mine the first time with no errors. Hell yeah.

Same here. Surprising, since I almost got in a head-on with a car in a construction zone.

 

[runnernda]

Got my permit and my license on the first try. Bam, said the lady.

 

[Quaxar]

I'll tell you in a month. Although I am fairly positive I can make it on the first try.

And congratulations for your license to move in 2 dimensions. Now you have to make it 3 dimensions with an aviator certification in order to be ready to pilot your own TARDIS through 4 dimensions of time and space.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

6. Yes, I fail hard.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I got mine second time, i actually drove better on the first attempt, i had four minors and 1 serious, on the second attempt i had 13 minors! Still a pass tho!

 

[Aux]

I know the process is different is a little different here in the Canada than States. We have three levels here, I passed the first two with ease. The last one I failed twice. It was kinda depressing the second time I failed it because I have always been told that I was a good driver by friends, family, etc. I got my full license about a month before it expired. It was such a great feeling knowing that I will never have to deal with that ever again.
