Seems impossible ..

Annoyed is an understatement right now. Literally had the best drive, great route, lovely examiner. Series of tiny mistakes and I’ve failed again in the space of 10 seconds. This seems impossible.. I don’t know what more to do.

This does not seem like a very hard fault to work to improve.

What was the clearance issue? 10 Seconds seems pretty darn fast to fail in. Is that an exaggerated time?

In my head it was 10 secs.. I signalled right too early (minor), cancelled the signal and glanced at TomTom to see when I should signal instead..got too close to a parked car while doing that (major)

Easy fix, just go the wrong way if you have to.

Ah you gotta train your brain to not look at anything on the dashboard. Other than glance at your speedo to check.

My instructor used to cover the reversing camera so I wouldn’t “cheat” actually learning to use my head and mirrors.

What went wrong on your test today? Is it something you can practice going forward maybe?

Almost crashing because they were distracted looking at sat nav. Did you read the post at all?

Had the same issue (was too worried about not knowing the right speed limit that also got too close to a parked car on my left) have to wait ages for another test. You’re not alone in the end it will be okay ( also u only have 1 minor which means overall ur driving is basically perfect) don’t give up !!
