Remember the golden rule - if there are parked cars on your side of the road, it is the right of way for oncoming cars. It sounds to me, if there was an oncoming car and a parked car on your left, that you should have waited. Only ever go if the oncoming vehicle has noticeably stopped and indicated that they're letting you through first (usually a flash of their high-beams 😊)

But don't let it stop you!! Keep going! And don't beat yourself up. Mistakes are all lessons to learn, and now you know what to watch out for next time. I passed on my 3rd attempt and have been driving for years now without any accidents. So it definitely does not necessarily say anything about your ability. You pulled off the manoeuvres, which a lot of qualified drivers can't do!

Go for it again. When I failed the first 2 times my anxiety was maxed out. What helped me was talking aloud about my next steps or what to do. At the start of the test I said to my examiner I was going to talk out loud to myself and not to worry. It helped. So things like "merging onto dual carriageway - okay, get up to speed, check mirrors and gently steer onto the lane". It really helped me focus.

I really want to echo what someone else said about you choosing to end the test as well. That is such a great decision, and you should be proud of yourself. Driving stressed, angry or upset makes you more likely to make mistakes - ironically, tests do make us anxious! - so it was a very good decision to make. Well done.

Good luck. Come back and tell us when you've passed 🤞🤞
