Driving Test #1 – I nearly kill the tester

Yes I did! For anyone going to do your test – Remember the cardinal rule – Look far, look wide, see the blinking right turn light and SSSSSSTTTTTTTOOOOPPPPPP!

I didn’t.

When the light stopped blinking and the lights turned green, I saw the horde of cars coming up right behind me and I knew – THAT’S IT.

The nice grandfatherly tester seemed unfazed but once he kept his clipboard, I knew … I knew … Good bye first time license ….

So true enough. I didn’t pass. Wasn’t expecting to anyway. Hit too many kerbs in the circuit, nearly mounted a kerb, was supposed to turn right but didn’t foresee another car parking and there I was, for a good 2 minutes, stuck in the middle of a junction. No one from the opposite lane could proceed and I couldn’t reverse.

The whole driving test was about 20+ minutes but it was the most harrowing thing to do in my life. I’ve already signed up for the next round … in 6 weeks time. Any tips anyone?
