Failed Driving Test (actually he's passed it now)

[foxtrot]

Well im mighty ИИИИed off

Just done my P's test and was on the way back to the registry with a pass. was making a left turn on a "slip lane" near mcdonalds in moloolaba (for locals) and this other car to my right was also turning in.. well he must of saw L plates and freaked out because i was stopping to give way but he just stopped and looked at me.. well i continued through and then

"why didnt you give way in the slip lane at mcdonalds"

me: "uhh because the guy stopped there"

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL CRITICAL ERROR DIDNT GIVE WAY OTHERWISE NEAR PERFECT PASS

BULLИИИИ BULLИИИИ BULLИИИИ BULLИИИИ

NOW I HAVE TO FORK OUT ANOTHER 40 BUCKS + 55 BUCKS TO BORROW INSTRUCTORS CAR

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Kenster]

dont worry man i can tell you when i did my P test i fail cause i assume a car was about to stop at the lights since it was changing instead the car floor right in front of me and i didnt pass cause i fail to give way.

I can you tell this now if you are a good driver and follow the road rule there are other drivers who pick on P platers for some reason.

Good Luck when you go for your next try unsure when is it thou

[brenx]

Next time you'll obey the road rules even if the other person doesn't. Your far better to be cautious than have an accident if the other road user changes their mind.

I had similar when a pedestrian j-walked accross the path of my car on a highway. Lost 6 points from memory. S**t happens and life goes on.

[$AUDude]

Man that's tight! Unlucky mate. I lost points for giving way for too long on my test, you just can't win!

[foxtrot]

I aced a reverse park and turn around etc etc etc and i was on the way back when it happened.. he even told me..

I had 4 non criticals.. out of max of 8.. even 2 of the non critals i think he was tugging his knob when he gave me them.

I shoulder checked then went to take off at registry at the start.. and then realised the car was turned off lol (Accessories was on for the light test and the car is really quiet)

so i start the car.. takes a split second.. and proceed out

NO WAIT.. i stopped that moment to start the engine so i should of shoulder checked again

non critical before i even left for that

Lol - sorry to make light of the situation but that's a classic scenario.

One of my closest friends had a similar incident on his first attempt - although this is going back some 7 years now. Pulling out of the carpark, there is a police station there. The police have a driveway which comes into the main driveway for the carpark. Traffic is required to give way to the police at a give way sign.

So my friend stops at the giveway sign as a police car is slowly coming down the driveway. The officer stops and waves my friend through - which he does. Bang - instant fail, failure to give way... please return to the carpark!!

AHHH they shouldn't be allowed to do that

It sucks mate but its very common.

In 89 when I got my license the tester was a cow who was obviously having a bad day. She pinged me for being approx 5mm to far out in the reverse parking (tyre not touching the yellow line by about 5mm.... absolute rubbish), then pinged me for being to slow to change lanes... right, changing lanes while going through traffic lights.. that is an instant failure, I'll take the points hit thanks. Then, heading back to the RTA she tells me to turn into the driveway ... over double white lines. Then, when I refused (would have been instant fail) she pinged me again for failing to follow instructions.. wtf?
Anyhow, against her best efforts I passed.. and gave her the finger on the way out for her troubles. I'll never forget the fat cow!

!

A little off topic but I think it is legal to enter/exit a driveway over double white/unbroken lines?

Not when its got those diaganal lines painted in them... like a painted traffic island sort of thing.
Either way there was no why in hell I was going to cross them.

Well look at it this way Im sitting three with right of way and I decide to wave you through and you take off slow ,I then make my turn right into the side of your car .
You say I waved you through ,I say I was waving at a mate! .Rules are rules till you got your licence them it's every man for him self ....LOL

Im sorry you didn't pass on your first attempt ,better luck next time when you fail cuz you caused a traffic jam waiting at the intersection where you had to give way to that same car ....LOL It's not going to be your day

[Dav0]

i had nearly failed for giving way to pedestrians @ a crossing (yes it was marked) but because i waved them to go across i nearly failed. also bout giving way for too long. i was sitting @ a roundabout for bout 1 minute no jokes as i wasnt to keen to see wat the tester viewed as giving way to traffic at a roundabout, mean while i had cars and trucks goin past making it even worse and evently when i did go the tester didnt say anything or mark my on time etc.

used:

So, coming from the beach, head past McDonalds towards to Bowls Club, hang a left?

You do mean right, right? Two rights in you're in the carpark...

EDIT - Oh, you mean the one I used to work at on Aerodrome Road, when you head toward the Plaza, and you hang a left in a small slip lane before... yep, got it now.

That sucks, the other guy shouldn't have stopped.

Whoops i probably confused the hell out of you, i didn't mean moloolaba macca's sorry i meant Alex!! lol

so you goin through mooba esplanade (or alex.. watever?!) and heading down near maccas (car wash is across the road to the right and a new bottle-o etc etc) and you turn left on a slip lane

then another left ur in maccas carpark

lol :

[Woz]

I must have gotten lucky when I found my instructor then, I think.

He made a special point of telling me on my first lesson that at any roundabout or give way point that if I'm in the position where I'm supposed to give way to always give way, even if the person on my right sits for half an hour trying to wave me through. The same for pedestrians crossing the road where they have right of way. He said even if I've gotta wait all day before they get sick of trying to wave me through, I've gotta do it.

I thought if they waved you through then you could go, but he told me on my first lesson that that's still failure to give way and therefore a fail on the test.

Tough luck on your test, mate. But it sounds like you should be right for a pass next time. Sometimes you've gotta throw away the ol' "common sense" and just play it by the book. Good luck.

[Ryan]

I am so glad I got my Ps first go otherwise I would've waited until I was like 19 until I went for them again. lol

That blows mate, better luck next time aye.

[HLC]

when i did my L's test, i had this Large Woman as my examiner. now i didnt know if i had passed, so i made a couple of gags and used my charm just to win her over and gurantee my pass. :P

worked a treat as well :

[foxtrot]

well im out of money till pay day.. i could go again tomorrow as bookings are available any time tomorrow but i dont have 100 bucks to spit out. as is i owe the instructor another $40

No More lessons.. I don't think i can get ANY better at driving that gutless hyundai getz around

Apparently you can if you failed the test on road rules.

To the people whinging about being failed on breaking the road rules while following a direction, do you think on the road? Or just blindly drive around with the Melways on your knees thinking she'll be right?

Sure it sucks that you've gotta pay up again, but the fine for getting busted doing it is probably the same, if not more. I bet you won't be doing the same thing in a hurry, which could very well save you from an accident.

[Kenster]

you should keep on trying, I fail on my first attempted but i got it the second row even thou my parents were paying for my lessons and instructor but dad took some time and took me to the test area and kept on practising.

in 4 weeks time i will be going to vicroad to get my full licenence but i keep on enjoying driving when i can

[TICKFORD_XR6]
