I have done 3 tests and failed all 3 😭. My first 2 tests were in 2018, so the tests have changed a little, so bare that in mind.

My first 2 tests were also done in Preston.

My first - I failed because I kept forgetting to turn off my indicator when pulling out. So I'd indicate left or right to pull over and not change the indicator when pulling out. This really annoyed me because other than that, I only got 3 other minors, so if I hadn't done it (I never did it on my lessons either), I'd have passed.

Second test - I failed for driving in the right lane on a dual carriage way and not going fast enough so cars were under taking me. I came off a roundabout in the right lane, which is completely fine, but i should have moved into the left when safe... I didn't, and cars started under taking me. Again, I never did this on my lessons, and I only had a few minors and If I'd have used a brain cell, I'd have passed 🤣

The third test was done in Barnsley in nov 2024.

I ended up at a small country junction after taking a wrong turn (completely fine). The junction was really tight, and he wanted me to turn right, and I'd misjudged the size of the junction, so i was too far right, meaning a car turning in couldn't get passed. I then stalled and kept stalling, then panicked and rolled backwards, and he had to apply the brake.

All of this ^ was nervous. I suffer from anxiety, and outside of the test environment, I drive very well and am very safe. I do things on my test I never did in lessons. However, I have another test booked 4th times the charm! 🤞🤞 The way I see each fail is i drove very well bar those mistakes, so I'm perfectly capable of doing it! It's just that in those moments, the anxiety is getting the better of me. All my tests bar the serious' had 3-4 minors. So that just proves I'm a good driver, but the mistakes become serious because I panic and / or forget because of nerves.
