Driving Test Woes

[PigletsFood]

My lovely nephew has just failed his driving test for the third time and is quite upset and a bit embarrassed.

Its only been one stupid thing each time (hill start today). I’m sure it’s only nerves but my sis and me want to encourage him to keep trying.
Please give me your stories if it took you quite a few goes to pass, of how you got there in the end, so I can tell him he’s not the only one. He’s 23 so not that young but I feel for him.

I passed on my 6th attempt, due to nerves. It was always just one mistake. When I eventually passed I'd just had some bad news (and thought at the end of the day it doesn't matter if I pass or fail because my life was imploding around me). 20+ years on never had an accident (that I caused). My driving instructor didn't know what to do everytime we practiced he said I'd have passed but everytime I did the test I failed. Relaxing was my issue. Driving was also life changing (opened doors) so was worth persevering.
