Driving Test
well today was one of the shittest days in my life. And im really not joking here.
Driving test finally came along today. Now understandable to say in this forum, due to its nature, that i have been looking forward to this for, about what, 10-12 years now? i mean i started reading the highway code then, acting like it was useful to me.........
So, it all goes really really really smooth right up until central cross drive. for those of you that do not know central cross drive, its the road in cheltenham that seperates the grassy part of pitville park. I go down there, giving plenty of room to cars, travelling at a timid 26mph, and suddenly, the examinor takes control of the dual control pedals on his side and says 'your supposed to give way here'
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A crossroad, hidden by the fools that park their cars there and poorly marked and signed.
From this moment, my organs felt like they were dying, and my one thing i truly wanted this year was shattered.
But hey, if at first you dont suceed. . . . pass and then drive like you stole it
End result of the test was 1 major, and 4 minors. . . so basically im passing in february.
So whats everyone elses driving test successes or failures? anyone retaken before? Id love to hear your stories coz they might cheer me up today

Good TYMES
Thank you, its much appreciated
Im in a very good mood about this whole thing really.
Apart from the weather making it stupidly dangerous on the roads, i was told this christmas that i might be able to buy a car off my cousin for . .
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £1 yes.....£1 like clarkson bought the volvo on topgear (alledgedly)
cousin is a used car manager at an official ford garage. will be a trade in car that wont be amazing but the fail delayed my mum insuring her car.
looks like things happen for a reason, and a bloody good one
