Started again at 24, had the same examiner as the first 2 failed 3rd test, finally passed at 25, on the 4th time.

16, and it was the day after I turned 16, as the testing centre was closed on the actual day.

23, 2nd attempt.
No theory then. Parallel park was relatively new.

Now have 17yo DC1 learning!

  1. 2nd attempt. No theory but quite a few questions about road signs, stopping distances, how to proceed in the event of... etc etc. Many years ago.

17, the theory test had just come in at the start of that year & it was so easy.

Passed the practical 1st time but thought I had failed as I had to correct my reversing round the corner, the examiner said because I had started again and didn't give up he passed me I think, it was a very long time ago!

I passed when I was 17, it was very recently after the theory test had been introduced.
