Damn Rhys, you must suck at driving.

Naa i remember by first test, failed due to “Dangerous Driving”. Wasn’t anything dangerous about it.. beyond me trying to force another car off the road, on a roundabout too!

Good luck next time, just remember to give his leg a squeeze before setting of next time. Anything for a pass eh?

Approaching the roundabouts you should indicate but you don’t need to indicate on the exits off a mini roundabout.

You’re examiner sounds like a bogey one. Not putting on his seatbelt? Maybe that was a small test, albeit sniddy. I got majored for going too slow around around a roundabout also. It is 30 – which I was going but a car far behind was speeding at 60MPH. That still boggles the mind to this day. Just for clarification I was also taught that it is wrong to modify mirror when driving, all that should be done before set-off.

Cheer up because you will pass next time. Just let the examiner know if you think/know he/she is doing or telling something, which is wrong.

The guy sounds like a total ‘muncher. I’m seriously pissed off for you matey…

I remember one of friends in 6th form complaining after she failed for something similarly crap (but nowhere near as shabby as the treatment you got), and got her retest for free – so it’s worth considering if you can do it after the event.

I’d say something like “unlucky”, but it sounds like the examiner being a prick had more to do with it than bad luck

Can you not complain to someone? At least get a free re-test or something? I mean, I don’t drive but that sounds well dodgy to me.

Suggest you send the examiner a copy of this link to the highway code

I always indicate off mini roundabouts, I had no idea hat was wrong.

You need to do your test at a good time, if they’ve hit their quota of passes for the month then you’re screwed.

Ahh, that’s to bad! It sounds like the instructor had a bad day. Not fair at all! You will make it next time, I know it! =)

That is crap, you should seriously consider a complaint! I can’t believe he told you to adjust your mirrors during the test.

That’s fucking bullshit.

In Australia it’s the same, you’re supposed to indicate to turn off large roundabouts, and just drive through smaller ones, only indicating if you’re turning, but not indicate to turn off.
However, the fact of the matter is, how do you exactly know which roundabouts are considered ‘large’, and which are considered ‘small’. Fortunately, because of this uncertainty, it’s not something they police. In terms of the instructor… you got screwed. Not in the happy way.

Next time bro, next time.

BTW – Download the Halo Wars demo. Not sure if you’re a fan of RTS, but this would be the first RTS that works on a console. It’s awesome!
