Most deranged thing you’ve done in a driving lesson/test?

[Shania7788]

My test is coming up soon. Been doing really well but I made the stupidest mistake today and I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone I know in real life. But I need to tell someone before I spend the whole week thinking about this before I fall asleep.

I was following a route I’ve done before but never with the satnav. Approached a mini roundabout before dual carriageway slip road and was going straight over/2nd exit. I must’ve heard ‘turn right…’ or something and been daydreaming, because I went the wrong way around the roundabout 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😩. It’s such a stupid mistake that I’m half convinced the satnav showed an anti-clockwise diagram that I followed blindly. So dangerous of me and ridiculous because I live on a road with three mini roundabouts! Argh!!!

My teacher says the rest of my driving is great and doesn’t want to move the test but it really shook me (and him I think!!) obviously I’ve never done it before.

Please tell me your stupid and deranged mistakes/decisions as a learner to make me feel better and push this out of my mind!

Thank you@Treesandsheepeverywhere for reviving this thread..fun times!

Thanks @Sweetpea1532 , I'd saved it to read after I'd passed, which I did on Monday.
Didn't think would be a good idea to read it before as my brain would have been all over.
Love the idea of doing a full test with wipers on, on a dry day 😅.

Congratulations @Treesandsheepeverywhere good on you for passing!

Yes, DH has great ideas...like the time he set off the car alarm and didn't know how to get it to shut off. He just jumped behind the wheel and tootled on down the road like nothing was wrong...no one gave him a second look, and it eventually stopped 🤪

I have a friend who got forty minors, ten majors and a dangerous. Pretty impressive given that they stop the test when you get the dangerous.

I've only ever been in the car with her once. Never again. She flew across roundabouts like they didn't exist.

About to take the test for the second time I settled myself in the seat and reached back for the seatbelt which resulted in my bra coming undone.

I was rather large-breasted at the time and undertook the test with my boobs drooping over my belly. I failed the test.

Thank you @Sweetpea1532 .
Your DH sounds a hoot 😂🚙.

During the driving test, doing the 3 point turn. The heavens opened, and I didn't know where the windscreen wipers turned on. Managed to turn them on and continued. At the end of the test, as the examiner told me I'd passed, I noticed the wipers squeaking away on a very dry screen......My instructor drove me home, and didn't believe I'd passed (first time) until I showed him the pink paper slip.

You're welcome! Yes@Treesandsheepeverywhere , he has form for being a hoot!🙄😂😂
