What a load of twaddle.

If she was not doing her job properly, people would complain/appeal, and she would not be in the job.

Funny how everyone has a story like this.............

Am stunned at the amount of resentment shown by Poor Guy and Chaos when they failed at something.

Unfortunately that's the problem with today's society. People want things NOW and if they can't have them, they steal it or wreck it so the person who owns it can't have it either.

Poor Guy & Chaos are just 2 such individuals. Beginning to realise that shock, horror you have to work for some things in life still and you can't just have everything handed to you on a plate.

Oh and heaven forbid that it might actually be THEIR fault they failed. Frankenstein theory anyone?

Chaos - don't give up, btw. What did you fail on? Can you get a licenced driver to take you into some deserted carparks or onto airfields and practise whatever it was?

I've driven just under 1000 miles this weekend and the amount of bad driving that I've seen was appalling. Only wish more people learnt the value of a licence....and the indicator stalk! A driving licence is a privilege, not a right.

yes, ive stolen the DSA. in my back garden in the shed. might try and sell it at the second hand store next week. or might blow it up.

and for gods sake read the above posts. i realise that it was me, but its was a minor fault.

Hey, I wish we were allowed in unused carparks or airfields. stupid polices come along and arrest you on finningley airfield.

now ive got to wait til february to get back on the road. argg, february!

Poor Guy - perhaps you missed this website where it lists "Lane Discipline" as a DANGEROUS ERROR, not a minor.

If it was a minor fault, you would have passed!

At the end of the day its all for your own good, obviously the examiner felt that you were not quite ready to be released onto the roads on your own. God knows there are enough **** drivers already.

Look at it this way, yes be a little dissapointed that you failed, work harder, read all the books again, get in some more practise, then re-take the test.

The examiner could have just saved your life, and anyone elses near you if something bad happened had she of passed you.

Good luck on your next test.

EXACTLY! They (examiners) are not out to get you ffs! They don't know you, they just need to see correct procedures. What if they let you on the road and you made a mistake that cost a child its life because you didn't know what you were doing.

What if you displayed the attitude you're displaying here to the examining instructor? You're hardly showing much maturity on this board, although you could just be a keyboard ninja.

Maybe you made other errors which, when added to the incorrect lane discipline (DANGEROUS ERROR) all stacked against you.

Either way, accept it and move on like an adult, instead of flinging metaphorical toys across a bbs shouting "it's not fair (stampy foot)"
