Any tips? Considering your above belch I would recommend not drinking prior to the test. It's been 14 years since I took the test so I have absolutely no tips other than to just stay as relaxed as possible. Is there a certain part of the exam you continue to fail? Could you practice that part?

if you can't pass a driving test, then you should not be allowed to be on the road.

i don't know what the tests are like in the UK, but when i took my test when i was 17 in jersey, it was an absolute joke. they don't even take you on a road for your driving test... it's on a closed course! so if you can't pass a test like that... then, yeah... don't get behind a wheel.

a well trained chimp can pass NJ's driving test.

In California (where I took mine) it was not a closed course. It was on city streets. But still a well trained chimp could pass it! After all, Schwarzenegger has his license, right?

and the test should be on the street! but the only thing that i think is different in jersey than other state, is you need to complete a 6 hour behind the wheel course with a driving instructor before you can even get your permit. and that is on the road, real life situations.

what was crazy about that is, i got behind the wheel with NO experience and my instructor made me drive on one of the craziest and most animalistic highways in the state. those instructors have balls to get in the car with a 16 year old that doesn't have even a second of driving experience.

Very difficult, they will fail you for the slightest little thing. Also remember, roads in the UK are not at all like in the US. Try making a 3-point turn in a road that's not much wider than the car itself. Tests in the US are easy.

I, on the other hand, would recommend that you drink A LOT before the next test. And smoke some good weed as well. If you are going to fail something so easy, do so in epic fashion. A good police chase followed by a 20 car pile-up sounds about right.

I've never even had a driving lesson, and I'm 36 this year.

My tip is, when the examiner asks what you would usually be doing at the moment (seems to be the qestion they always ask!), tell them you've just been made redundant so you would be looking for a job! I swear it worked for both me and my mate, they'll definitely take pity on you. Also keep them talking, doesn't matter what you talk about just keep them talking, that way they can't pay as much attention, so they're more likely to miss any little mistakes. I also pretended to be really upbeat and jolly! No examiner wants to pass someone who's miserable and shitting themselves!

It took me a few attempts to pass my test, not because I was a bad driver, I just had ridiculous nerves. The time I actually passed, I was sitting in the waiting room before hand and saw all these young kids about to take their tests and they all had big smiles on their faces, like they didn't have a care in the world. So I decided that was exactly what I was going to do. If you fake being confident I think you stand a better chance.

Good luck, and don't give up!
