To give up driving after failing again

[tryharder100]

Just failed my third test of the year and one I really needed to pass due to work and really want to throw in the towel.

failed on the simplest thing with no other minor faults and driving examiner said I drove beautifully but it doesn't help as still failed.

No one else in household drives so this would make a massive change to our live but I can't seem to do it.

Just asked my husband (ex driving instructor) what advice he'd give to you. He'd recommend taking a couple of lessons with a different instructor because it may be that you and your current one are too familiar with each other now. Tell the new instructor you've failed three times but not what for and ask them to take you out and see what they pick up on. They can then focus on any weaker areas.

FWIW I failed one of my tests after being stopped by the police and then went on to pass next time round.

don't give up.
i'm the worst driver ever and i passed in the end.
keep practising as much as you can.
you will pass!

Don't give up! I passed on fourth go-I literally thought I don't care how many times it takes, I'm going to pass. First time, I ended up weeping two miles from test centre. I assumed examiner could drive us back, but no, they're not insured apparently.

so stressed today, can't stop thinking about it. need to let it go but every time I stop it's there in my head, I'm so stupid for not checking, I have never not done that. really can't afford to throw it away like that, so much was riding on me passing.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way today - it's horrible when something bugs at you, but your "error" was just one of those things - you were nervous! I appreciate that you're worried about the money, but get another test booked as soon as you can. It sounds like you just made an unfortunate mistake and that you're ready to drive. When you do, you sound like you'll be really competent and safe.

I passed fourth time too - I was furious with myself for failing earlier tests, but I got there in the end. Don't give up, you can do it!

I passed 4th time! I'm glad I didn't pass before, I am a better driver for it.

Are you happy with your instructor? I changed and it made all the difference to my confidence as a driver. The previous one had been very focused on how to pass the test, the new one was all about forgetting the test, and learning how to be a good, safe driver. Got him through personal recommendation.

I passed on my 4th time. I nearly gave up after my 3rd fail, so pleased I didn't. It took my mum 5 attempts. Keep going, you can do it.

You can do it. You know you need to check your blind spot and you will next time.

Those who pass first time probably have another car to practice on. Can you do that with your mum? Most people have a lot of hours under their belt when passing, with an instructor or a relative.

Don't give up. Being able to drive brings a lot of flexibility.
