I just failed my test....2 hours ago. I was absolutely devastated when he said that he had not passed me. Not only was he completely and utterly rude but he didn't even give me a chance to talk. I burst into tears before he left the car. With this post and a little help from the gov office to reschedule my test (two weeks from today instead of a month and a half) I feel tons better. I still feel kinda dumb for not passing something I thought was going to be so simple, but I realize that its not the end of the world This has helped out bunches! I just failed my test….2 hours ago.

I'm just getting the start of driving with my permit and I'm so scared about taking a road test in the future. I failed my permit last summer.

To know other find this hard has helped me a lot, I thought I was the only one. Chances are though I will be posting my tale of crying for 12hrs in the bathroom as well in a weeks time.

I thik this was the instructor choice for failing me. Eve n if i corrected my previous mistake an drove the car within the speed limit the instructor told me that i drove slowly.

My tester was relatively nice, but it was raining in our area earlier and we were running late and I had to make a sharp turn, apparently she could hear the squealing from where she was. When we were filling out the paperwork I made absolutely no sense because I was so nervous. She said that she failed me because i was going 20 in a 15mph zone, and I wasn't searching the intersections enough. I completely understand the speeding aspect and I wouldn't have been so disappointed if she had actually looked at me during the ride. We had no almost-collisions, no issues of right of way at any stop signs, I even waited for the people turning left to clear the intersection even though my light had turned green. At no point during the ride was she in any danger. At the end she told me that I was a good driver but I needed to work on my speed (which i agree with) and making exaggerated motions so she knows I'm searching. My dad was in the car with me on the way home and for our entire 20 min drive home he offered constructive criticism, when all I wanted to do was cry. To make matters worse, I saw that one of my friends had posted that she passed her road test. So after crying my eyes out for the last 12 hours or so, I googled "failed road test", and here we are. I have to say that after reading everything I feel so much better about it and knowing that next time will be different. Thank You So Much!!!

People tell me its cuz it was my first time, and its a money scheme cuz they make like $200 each time for a re-test. Maybe its true, but I was sooooo depressed when I failed. The guy who handed me my paper said sorry like it was some kinda personal choice. But reading this made me feel much better to see that everyone felt kinda worthless after failing the first time. All I can really say is, to those who passed first time, good for you. Don't be a douche and show off to other's cause we might just jump you. And to those who have failed, I know its a horrible horrible feeling, to know that those 3-10 mins could have made things so much better now if you could redo them. But you know what, life goes on, its really not a big deal. Keep calm and carry on. Good luck eveybody I failed mine today, I was super confident that I passed.
