Yes, the luck you sent me didn’t do any good, as I failed my first driving test.
Basically, I wanted to keep a secret from as many people as possible, as it’d put me under pressure. Lord knows I was under enough. I think nerves got me in the end.
I had 14 minors (which is just enough to pass), but I got two minors. The first was pulling out in front of a bus, and the second was stalling going up a hill.
So all in all, I really don’t have anything to complain about.
Strange thing is now is that – well – I feel okay. Yes I know I’ll have to go to Rhyl, and yes I know it’s more expense, but I’ve survived 24 years of not driving, as long as I keep at it, it will come. Yes, Melissa may pass her test before me, but fuck it, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
That, and I may have bought an Xbox 360. Score. 
If you’re on it, let me know, and I’ll see you Monday.

Did you by anychance type minors instead of majors?

unlucky dude. just to be picky – you’ve put minors twice, hoping its the 14 that should be minors not the 2
took me till my 3rd attempt, i rushed into my first test and wasnt ready at all. glad i failed to behonest – better because of it!
Better luck next time Rhys – not the end of the world..
I don’t know many people who actually passed their test first time, if that’s any consolation.
I passed my driving test at 16 but I think the cop that gave me the test (cops give us the test here) wasn’t in the mood to give me a test and wanted to get it over with as fast as possible. It was super easy, all I had to do was drive a block down the road, back up in a straight line and do a three-point turn.
@Angela: I’ll make sure I avoid the roads wherever it is you live.
Unlucky dude. I passed my test first time even though to this day I can’t reverse to save my life. You’ll crack it next time.
It took me 3 times to pass my driving test so I wouldn’t worry about it. It gets easier each time.
Better luck next time =). Are you starting to feel the Christmas spirit? =D
I wouldn’t be too sure about that one. Although I *need* to pass by February for work.
Anyways, like I said before all the best drivers fail first time and learn from their mistakes.
