8 minors you're allowed 15 but I got a serious mark because some idiot was too far out from the junction and I had no choice but to try and go around, apparently I was too close to said vehicle

To top it off this was on the last bend to the test centre

Thank you.

It's funny how things plan out sometimes, I failed on the home straight back to the test centre and when my brother took his, he failed on the way out laugh

Had another test today and i bloody failed again.

A better drive this time round, only 3 minors but another serious mark, misjudged someone's speed and pulled out on someone on a roundabout, we all do it from time to time.

Happy with the drive so not all bad! Work are looking into booking another test asap!

3rd time lucky I hope

Unlucky, Carl. At least it shows that the examiners take it seriously; it'll be all the more precious when you do pass.
