This is going to be a bit of a ‘loaded’ question :wink: -
If you did not pass first time, maybe due to 1 silly but not unsafe error, and the rest of your drive was fantastic, would you really consider yourself a bad driver :question:

Prob not, but it still a failure not only for me but also everyone concerned, plus the thought of doin it all over again :smiley:

I failed my first Class 1, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I clipped a kerb and ballsed up my uncouple/re-couple. I passed my second test with 7 minors, so mine was by no means perfect. You’ll be fine, i promise :slight_smile:

16

Thanks for havin faith in me :smiley: :smiley: . All i can do is jus go for it an hope for the best :smiley:

happyhebridean436:

I would have said do your best - no-one (including yourself) can ask for more than that :slight_smile:
