to bawl my eyes out if I don't pass my driving test on Tuesday?

[RedKite1985]

I have so many cool weekends coming up that would be so much easier if I could drive! Camping etc.

arghhhhh!!!!! I wish you could "revise" at your test. I am driving every day but it only takes one little thing to fail. Harrumph

I passed my test 3rd time. The 2nd time, I failed because I was so nervous that I had a full-blown panic attack at the wheel- this involved bawling my eyes out, with added snot and mascara streaking- and the (mercifully kind) examiner stopped me and terminated the test. I then quietly hiccuped and longed for suicide in the back seat as she drove me and my instructor on the long, shameful journey back to the test centre.

It really couldn't have gone any worse than that. I would advise you not to cry purely because you could easily pass the next one and do it a week later if there's a cancellation or you've booked a second one as an emergency!

You can cry if you want to, but it won't change anything. In fact nothing will change if you fail your test, you can still drive with a qualified driver with you etc. I cried when I passed my test because it meant I was now on my own with nobody to tell me where to go. It was nerve raking the first few times.

I wish you lots of luck with your test.

Best of luck, give it your best, and try not to think that it's now or never because that is putting extra pressure on yourself.
