Failed driver training

[R5Rich]

I failed my driver training today which was a farce from start to finish, one day I didn't have my wallet so no license, managers took a photocopy but never handed it on, got told at 730 this morning I was doing it and had to come back an hour after I had finished work to do it :(

Anyway I am considered a high risk scoring 28/50 (not good!) imo all silly little things but thats another story, what will be the likely outcome of this? Don't have work tomorrow so don't have to face them then at least :/

My Dom said to me no 1 will fail so god knows what u did.

WTF were you doing to fail I've never heard of anyone failing (and some people I wouldn't trust to drive a nail into a piece of wood ).

Incosiderate to other road users, as I was to close to the car in front, even though we were in a traffic jam, everyone was bumper to bumper but because he was disabled he might have felt threatened by all accounts? wtf.
Didn't let someone come out at a petrol station (no one ever lets me out of there)
I put it in to neutral when rolling up to a light
Didn't drive economically (putting it into 4th doing 30mph around town) I ride a motorbike and was told to leave it in a lower gear so that if I need to take evasive action I have the power to do so. 4th and 30 does not compute.
Going over the speedlimit (I went to 35 before putting it into 4th and then slowing to 30, van changes gear nicer at that speed!)
Undertaking someone on a dual carriage way, he was doing around 25 when it was a 40 limit both set off at same time he was just slower and no I didn't blast it off

Glad I can be the first

I would like to know I didn't even know it was a driving test for a while! I thought driver training was basically the do's and don't of using the van, don't leave it unlocked, check water etc.. dents.. don't leave things on display, use of the PDA and all that.

I wouldn't even say I drive dangerously, I am smooth, don't accel or brake harshly, always checking mirrors, always signal

Well if it's any consolation, I'd have failed you too!

Undertaking and speeding , not exactly safe driving is it? That being said, we all do it... just not daft enough to do it when someone is observing our driving!

[R5Rich]

meh I could argue my reason but its wrong (legally!) but I don't do it on a motorway or when going nat speed limit along a dual carriageway, when its a few hunder yards long and I am turning off, if I happen to come over the round about quicker because he has had to stop at lights off it it, I keep going don't really want to slow down and wait for him to get up to speed.

Got tomorrow off luckily so will wait and see what they say Thursday, what you reckon? Will I get a bollocking or what? :s

[Judgee]

Probably just make you redo it in a few weeks or confine you to non-driver duties!

Unless you were recruited purely to fill a driving duty, then I very much doubt they will moan. Might get a ribbing fot it but that will most likely be the worst of it!

FAILED THE DRIVING TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry but I'd take the rest of the week off would never happen up here.

Your trainer must have been a complete jobsworth that's all i can say as i have NEVER heard of anyone failing.

You can book overtime if your test was outside normal hours. I suggest you do that!

Well i would defend undertaking, yes its against the law! But its not in most other countries and its not dangerous there! Saying that while your being marked i wouldnt have been doing that!

Lad in our office failed ,he reversed into the yard hit the only van that was parked there.

Lad at my place has failed it twice now.

[R5Rich]

ha I would have probably let him out if the lights right off the station hadn't just changed and the cars in front were moving so I carried on, if I had to stop I would have considered it... maybe :p
