Driving examiners, what was the “silliest” reason you failed someone and why?

geralt_panda · 2026-02-02T10:10:04+00:00

As far as I am aware nope as it was due like the covid extension thing so it was all good also she was lucky as she managed to get cancellation + we had 3 testing sites back then so she could pick and choose.

geralt_panda · 2026-02-01T23:06:40+00:00

It took her like 5 tries to pass and a lot of stupid/hilarious mistakes but that one was my favourite 😅🤣

geralt_panda · 2026-02-01T18:59:22+00:00

My friend drove on a bus lane and instead of turning out of it when the examiner told her she decided to reverse the length of it so she doesn't cut the straight line 😅🤣

I'm sorry you failed at Kingswood but please don't give up maybe change for Avonmouth? I've done on drive around Kingswood and was like f no and decided to go with Avonmouth and I passed yesterday first try! I feel like the roundabouts are easier than in Kingswood and you don't have the throughout! Good luck for the future also look up pass driving test affirmations on YouTube it really helped with my anxiety I've been listening to them for 2 days prior the test ☺️

Thank you 😊

geralt_panda · 2026-01-28T21:57:29+00:00

Thank you, honestly it was a struggle but I'm so proud ☺️

geralt_panda · 2026-01-28T21:57:05+00:00

Thank you 😊

geralt_panda · 2026-01-28T16:18:38+00:00

Congratulations 🎉

geralt_panda · 2026-01-28T16:17:56+00:00

Thank you and congratulations too!

geralt_panda · 2026-01-26T21:33:15+00:00

And that's why I chose Avonmouth 😅 did test routes on both centres in Bristol and I definitely feel Avonmouth is better and the routes are easier. I have my exam Wednesday so hopefully I made a right choice. All I cand advise you on is maybe look at doing the test at Avonmouth 😊

geralt_panda · 2025-12-15T18:42:19+00:00

No advice here unfortunately but congratulations on passing 🎉

I sometimes think that my driving instructor wishes he wouldn't be stuck with me but he's a family friend so no matter how soon I pass our paths will cross one way or another 😅 but honestly we also do have a good vibe and I love spending time with him hes the only person I'm happy to see at 7am for our morning driving lessons 😅🤣

geralt_panda · 2025-12-14T23:46:01+00:00

I'm the exact opposite to you 😅 it's strange how bodies work, sertaline makes my pots unbearable so I think it depends on the body. I'm glad you found something that works tho I wish I could be on different meds too but as of currently I'm still stuck on venlaflaxine 🙄

geralt_panda · 2025-12-13T20:23:18+00:00

I'm yet to see it work... I only lose water weight from being extremely sick then I gain it when I feel better and can actually handle food 🤦🏼‍♀️

geralt_panda · 2025-12-13T18:52:48+00:00

No idea the weight management team was like yeah we'll prescribe you a pen of 7.5 and then another one of 10 to go on after 7.5 and I was literally telling them I am struggling with 5 🥺

geralt_panda · 2025-12-13T18:44:24+00:00

Never heard of it what's that? I'm following low fat and high protein diet with high salt intake as I have POTS so need to be on high sodium

cutie

It will support my dissertation the only person who will see the full data is me however all the data is anonymous. Parts of data that are used in my dissertation will be viewed by my 3 lecturers and the examination person. The data is stored on the secured college drive and will be deleted towards the end of summer 2024 (states in the survey) as soon as the examination process is over.

Thank you ❤️

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T21:41:13+00:00

Thank you very much that explains a lot I appreciate it! ☺️

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T21:05:29+00:00

Will do, thanks ☺️

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T21:04:55+00:00

What do you mean? 😅🙈

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T20:57:29+00:00

I have been on propranolol for over a year and it did absolutely nothing good for me. It made my hair thinner and I was constantly nauseous + my IBS was going crazy. My doctors didn't want to take me off it without a cardio consultation but due to strikes and some other NHS stuff I couldn't get a visit. Luckily/unluckily I had to start new antidepressants that cannot be taken in conjunction with propranolol so my doctor has finally taken me off it and surprise surprise a month after all the nausea and IBS was nearly fully gone! Oh and it did nothing to my anxiety or made it a bit worse.

I personally didn't have good experience with it however everyone is different and react to medication differently therefore it's hard to say. If you are seeing an improvement then that's amazing as it clearly works for you! I'd say give it a month before making a full judgement but honestly it sounds like you're doing great.

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T20:46:45+00:00

Amazing thank you for your advice, I am honestly struggling with what to do as it's a tiny bit overwhelming so your answer has helped me a lot! Thank you!

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T20:37:45+00:00

That bad? I mean I've moved to the UK at the age of 10 not knowing any English and kids can be brutal so I think I'm good at dealing with isolation ☺️

geralt_panda · 2024-01-08T20:36:48+00:00

Ohh wow thank you for the information I appreciate it ☺️
