Failed 6th driving test. Can't bring myself to book test 7

Just failed my 6th driving test this morning. I'm absolutely gutted. I drove pretty well, completed the parking manœuvre correctly. However, when we got to the motorway, traffic was pretty slow and the examiner failed me for not having the appropriate distance from the car ahead ( he said I was too close, about a car's length instead of 2).

I feel so embarrassed and such a let down that I can't go ahead with booking test 7.

Any help and support on how to bring up my confidence would be greatly appreciated.

Don’t give up! I failed my theory test 4 times Blush I passed my test first time but when I told my driving instructor he said «You what?? No!» which kind of spoiled the moment a bit Grin

My Mum passed on her seventh time and in all the years since she’s never had an accident. She’s a good, safe, cautious driver, just really struggled with the tests. Just keep going. You’ll get there.
