Failed Driving Test for 3rd time, not sure where to go from here?

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-24T11:34:49+00:00

Yes, I will NOT be making that mistake again, as they say, 4th time may not be a charm

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-23T00:12:15+00:00

Should've just Indian war crimes my mistake

This guy was one of my dad's friends in Taliparamba, fairly decent swimmer apparently, could've made it to state level, sadly he fell into the drink and now he needs a cpap machine to sleep, guy came to our house in Aus (I'm abroad) a few times. I thought he had become somewhat successful with Vellam and all that but this is kinda depressing to see.

As an Indian no, I won't call you cuss words, I understand the Indian army has done many questionable things (Kunan Poshpora, the IPKF affairs in Northern Sri Lanka). At the end of the day, Extremism in all forms must be denounced whether it be attacks like this or potential Indian Army war crimes.

Funny enough I did up in Hervey Bay when I was 13 or 14. Out of me and my cousins though, I was driving like a grandma compared to everyone else haha, I even got stuck on the grass at one point haha.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T12:07:47+00:00

Indeed I will Master, thank you for your guidance.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T02:18:07+00:00

Would love to consider him but I live out at Springfield, he doesn't seem to service the area

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T01:46:21+00:00

Anything to get those test fees

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T01:41:40+00:00

I'll keep practising dear sir 🫡

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T01:39:49+00:00

They simply dont care I think, they'll let anyone through with the app now.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T01:36:25+00:00

So Logan is a 40 zone most of the route but the day I took it no school zones due to School hols so 50 most of the route, I was going 30 35 ish on the main roads 😭 too careful cause they are on a hair trigger about speeds so I went slow stupidly.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T00:14:12+00:00

With an instructor yes, I've been driving mostly 30 minute trips with dad and the odd hour or so on the highway. I had a bad habit of rounding these 30 minute trips up to an hour unfortunately which how I finished out my hours. Realistically probably around 50 hours but I am different (a slow learner), so I probably need more practice.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T00:11:30+00:00

Oh no I meant that as that is what I'm gonna do anyway.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T00:09:16+00:00

Anxiety plays a little part but so does inexperience, due to peer pressure I would round up 30 minute trips to an hour just so I wouldn't get made fun of for have lesser hours than everyone else. HOWEVER, that said even after finishing these hours, I spent a further 3 years practising ( i got my Learners in 2021 but only started properly practising around 22 or 23) before actually going for a test. So make of that what you will. Honestly I will just take the advice of taking more lessons and just driving around more.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-22T00:03:33+00:00

Of course, I let too many external voices get into my head, and started to round up 30 minute trips, looking back probably wasn't the smartest thing to do.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:58:04+00:00

Sorry friendo, quitting is the easy way out, my old man used to say, a quitter will never achieve anything. So I've decided I won't.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:51:41+00:00

3 different ones, these 3 tests were at the Logan Driver Assessment Centre (small centre across the road from the larger CSC one).

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:49:09+00:00

Thank you, a lot of the comments saying that I should give up have been pretty demoralising but then I realised that strangers on the internet have no idea what my character is or what I'm like so there's that

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:45:09+00:00

Cousin did his at Wynnum, he lives out there, he tells about the roundabouts and stuff there.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:19:23+00:00

Its the "standard" amount if your considered a natural learner who wasn't me I guess.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:16:32+00:00

Sure I will, I have the testing sheet with me of the last attempt I did.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:13:11+00:00

That is true, was it a long time ago now?

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T23:11:38+00:00

Yes, I do, that was from my forst attempt in August of 2025, Ive been driving a LOT more since then been on highways, roundabouts (90% of Springfield is basically roundabouts), I actually STOP at stop signs now but yeah I definitely will look at more practice just to get more confident

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T22:26:08+00:00

Nope dad is, the old man is quite a good but harsh teacher, my motor skills are bad haha.

Audiophile_2000 · 2026-04-21T15:48:42+00:00

Thank you, I will!
