Yep, I failed it. All because of a lousy pedestrian crossing. Never mind, just have to book another one now. Annoying thing was, I only got 5 minors as well.

Unlucky dude. Driving tests in the UK are full of bull$h!t. I'd consider myself an efficient, safe driver, but it still took me 4 tries to pass! But yeah, keep at it, 'cos when I did finally get my licence, it was probably the best day of my life!

Hehe thanks mate. Hopefully, I'll try and get one for Christmas time, if I can. If not, looks like I could be doing it in Easter . In any case, I hope I can pass next time.

Only 5?! Thats good. I got 12 when I did it. Sorry to hear you failed though m8, those damn pedestrians
I barely passed the theory test aswell, I guess that makes me the worst driver here . Does any one else feel like they were robbed blind getting their license?

- I was robbed with my eyes open. There's not much you can do about it! After I passed, the DVLA didn't send me the correct documents. I didn't realise this at the time, but recently asked for my correct licence parts to be sent to me. The DVLA refused to admit they made a mistake and Instead, I was forced to pay another £19 for the "correct" licence parts. That sucked! I wrote several letters to argue my case, but it didn't get me anywhere so thought in the end it would be less hassle to just pay to get my legit licence

Ya know i think people have it out for us. I think since most of us don't conforme to the media's vision of normal, they get mad and try to find every way to put us down/ make us pay for mistakes they make.

lol well maby not.

From hearing this am kinda afraid to take mine.

Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Yeah, some of these people are a real bunch of dumbasses. I've been screwed over by them as well, since I can't rebook my test until 10 days after I failed, which is really stupid, because I leave for uni after 10 days! Hey, thanks all for the sympathy, it is much appreciated.

lol well if I don't pass this time I'll go agian in 10 days(that's how long u have to wait in canada if u don't pass the 1st time).

Also I don't think there r any zebras in canada. Well I am more the a 100% sure there are none in my hick town. So all I have to watch out for is the future red necks(the children lol). To bad, the law only let's you hit them at 30clicks. kinda ruins the fun lol jj

I got 44 demerits.......
I didn't stop hard enough at a stop sign, then when i came to an intersection the guy on my right had an old man walking past him so he waved at me to go, so i did and i lost 10 on that, then the same old guy came up a block and when I was doing my left turn he ran into the cross walk. I nearlt hit him.

STUPID OLD PEOPLE!
Y do they have to ruin my life.

After pass my first task will be to hunt that infenal old crank and nail him with my buick:"heheheHEHEHEH " ooo the plans i will make.

Hey, bad luck mate. Only thing you can do now is to retake the test. If it's any consolation, a pedestrian messed up mine big time as well (well, she was a pretty nice-looking pedestrian, but that's beside the point). Hehe oh yeah, btw forgot to add, have internet in my house now, so will post as often as I can. Now all we need to do is sort out the network...

But luck Tri. Looks like it's just one of those months. But without failure, you've never appreciate success (just trying to turn as negative into a positive!)

Well the good thing is that my folks are buying a new car (a 2001 grand pix gt fully loaded) should be able to pass in that. I think the fat guy failed me because I was driving him in this tiny Nissian sentra and the guy looked like he was about 450 pounds (really the car nearlly tipped when he sat in it lol :P. but I'll buy my paper work when I get some time , and hopefully I'll get my drivers before I have my B day on nov 27.
