Okay, so I failed my driving test this morning. I did the parallel parking perfectly, despite the steamed up back windows that made it quite difficult to see where I was.

So what did I fail on?

Reaching 22mph at one point in the 15mph test centre, in which 90% of the 10 minute test was conducted.

Not stopping at the Stop signs. Or at least not stopping for long enough and not having a proper jerk to indicate that I'd stopped. And being a little bit too close to the line when I stopped.

Not indicating when I was doing the parallel park. Okay, so someone had warned me about that and I forgot. But honestly. In the test centre. No other moving vehicles anywhere within sight. It hardly strikes me as a major disaster.

Taking a left turn a little bit tight and a right turn a little bit wide. Actually, on the right turn I was turning onto a dual carriageway and wasn't quite sure which lane I wanted to be in.

And that's it.

The examiner said that I was clearly able to handle the car and that it was obvious I'd been driving for years. Great. So now I have to go through the whole ridiculous thing again. Think I'll wait until the spring.
