Driving tests, what ridiculous reasons did you fail for?

Me Ow

Well, apparently running over a small child isn't allowed.

I failed for not taking up good position after a right turn into a housing estate. The fact that a removals truck, not van was blocking the road seemed to have bypassed the tester.
I failed the first time, cos I was a bad driver..

Ok when I was 16 in New York I had to take it 4 times!

One was cause I hit the curve making a turn because the one before they said I made them to wide.

One my 3 point turn cause a "traffic violation" cause a person was trying to pull out

another one I didn't Look enough

I'm really not a bad driver

I have never gotten a ticket

I just think the instructors scared the crap out of me

1. Couldn't reverse around a corner to save my life, got on the kerb 2x lol.

2. My indicator turned itself off and he said I failed to indicate before turning left. Also came off dual carriageway and continued doing 40mph on a 30mph rd AND at a x roads i was turning rt, a bus going forwards waited and the driver waved me on, I went and the examiner gave ma a SERIOUS fault for it.

3. Not looking through my back window before driving forwards doing a turn in the road!!

4. Driving too close to parked cars on a busy main rd at 5.00pm. if i'd have waited for oncoming traffic to disappear he would have failed me for holding up traffic in my lane !

5. I PASSED 5TH DAY 5TH MONTH 2005 !! was I happy lol.

Speeding and hesitation, all in the same test. work that one out.

I didn't fail but I thought I was going to. While doing a three point turn, I forgot to put the car in reverse. I didn't give the car a whole lot of gas so I didn't move much but I still let a nice string of curse words flow out of my mouth. The lady giving me the test was a little surprised. I was embarassed and immediately apologized. I passed though :)

i passed 3rd time the first time i failed because i was going too fast and too slow i was on a 70mph road doing 60 then the road changed to 40mph and i was still doing 60mph my second time i failed for going the wrong way up a one way street
after that i changed my driving instructor and passed next time without a single fault

We are going through a police road block and I failed to stop the car.. The instructor gave me a dangerous driving notice..

You won't believe why they failed me?????? I hit a police car, my examiner was knocked out cold as he wasn't wearing his seat belt!
I decided to not stop at the accident as i was blocking the road. I carried on along the route of the test and completed my 3 point turn, emergency stop etc when i got back to the test centre i knocked over my driving instructor. and they failed me??????

The first time i failed because i turned left onto a slip road and had to turn right straightaway but i left my left indicator on too long.It was classed as a dangerous...which i thought was ridiculous !

abilityunknown

IT WAS NOT THAT SILLY...the 1st time i took it (in 1988) i left the handbrake on for 50 yards....passed second time after alot of spending money on lessons...it cost me Â£700 to get my licence!!!!

stephen eblue eyes

sorry passed first time.

You fail because you cannot drive deffensively and these problem is mostly seen in women like you. Driving needs a lot of skills and you need to think fast in those situattions that may put your driving at risk. if you cannot drive deffensively and you dont even care about the rules and regulations on road then you should not be driving. There are only two things to remember in driving and these things are SAFETY and SAFETY if you understand this but you cannot apply it, then therefore if I'm a driving instructor you will defenitely fail....remember two things GaL.

Hi I passed first time with a clean sheet

El_loco

the amount of the tickets...why would you know that? The cop would tell you and it would say on the ticket.

I got failed because I changed lanes without indicating.

Which is supposed to only carry a 15 point penalty.

The instructor wrote that my light where not working as the reason that I had failed.

not looking enough and not stopping at a stop sign and sitting to close to the wheel

but i got them the 2nd time

I'm not bragging, but I passed my driving test 1st time when I was 17.
