00:00so it took me four times to pass my driving test so my other two tests that i'd failed i was like

00:06it's fine we'll go again but this one i just went home and cried i was so upset about it the first

00:12test fair enough there was there was plenty of things that especially now as an experienced

00:17driver i look back on and think yeah you totally did that wrong same with the second one i got

00:21closer but still made quite a lot of mistakes but the third one i was thinking the whole time i'm

00:26smashing this i'm doing a great job i'm absolutely killing it and then because of that and she failed

00:33me i was so gutted about it right at the end of the test where the test center is you have to take

00:40a right across the road so i pulled up pulled into the middle of the lane and then as i pulled into

00:47the middle of the lane waiting to turn right there was a car coming the other way so i stopped but

00:52because i'd moved into the middle lane the instructor actually slammed the brakes on and

00:58told me that i couldn't turn yet which i was like yeah i know that that's why i haven't started to

01:03turn so then the car passed i turned we did all of the maneuvers we ended the test and then she

01:10turned to me and said you've actually failed your test and other than being completely perfect

01:15throughout it because i had to slam the brakes on and i had to fail you which i was so frustrated

01:21at because i thought there was nothing i wasn't doing anything wrong um she'd assumed that i

01:26hadn't seen the car and actually if she hadn't have done anything i still would have stopped

01:32so as i walked and i didn't even have to say anything all the instructors were like did that

01:36person failure because she fails everybody so it's not a surprise so it really felt like she'd found

01:43a reason to fail me
