Number of times failed on your P's test? (1 Viewer)

It cost me $200 just to take a stupid test.
$120 for usage of instructors' car, $40 for an hour driving before test and $40 for just doing the test itself...
Then again, it felt awesome when I finally got my licence and could finally see my driving instructor drive off in the distance never to retun again.
2nd time was more expensive as I had to obviously pay more for the licence itself.
Only got 1 piece of advice for you.
If you're nervous, go ahead and talk to the instructor but by doing so, some of your concentration naturally lapses because your mind is occupied with the conversation. The upside is that the same applies to the tester as well.
If you're not nervous, just drive the car and don't say anything except to confirm what the tester has told you.
This is obvious but I can't help but stress it.

you get over it. I imagine it'd suck failing the second/third/etc times.
failed the first time, 2 solid lines near a stop sign. Stopped at the first thinking they couldn't fail me for going over it, but i got done for stopping too far from the second one - go figure. You really won't need more than 10hrs experience on the road if you have a decent bit of common sense.
Failed first (and only attempt) so far at car P's
Failed due to not taking clutch out for each gear change when changing down gears to red lights, pinged one point for each gear I didn't do it.

Zero. Because I went in an auto.
But I have a friend who failed two or three times... very expensive lol.

haha yeah that was the best part, never hving to fork out more money for the instructor ever again lol.
I did auto. I had to pay $125 for the 2.5hrs i had with the instructor- 1hr lesson before hand, the 30min test, 30mins or so to wait for the licence, and 15mins to drive me home. My instructor was weird, coz he'd keep saying well done young lady, excellent driving, and would reach over to shake my hand while i was driving and i was like ahhh.
I was nervous and i think the instructor told the tester lol.
Yeah i didnt understand what the crosses meant. The tester made the 9th cross which meant i would've failed, but then scribbled it out, so yeah. He did write down most of the NCDE (non critical driving errors). I honestly thought i wouldnt get it after that stupid reverse parking....

i passed the first time in a manual, i'm a pretty average driver. i think the instructor just liked me.
Failed once because dumb fuck tester said i missed 4 blindspots (perfect test otherwise apart from 1 fuck up gear change when instructors car didnt go into gear)
2nd time I passed barely and had a heaps shitter test because i was in an area I didnt know.
But my sister passed first go and she was and still is a heaps shitter driver than me.

I've been failed 3 times so far, the first time I got a single 'failing to give way when necessary' which I agreed with. Then the second and 3rd time the instructor seemed to enjoy failing me and saying at the end of both tests "you've failed this test, would you like to book another one?"......
I know quite a few people who have been failed 2 or 3 times, and have heard stories of people failing like 5 times??

Twice. Got my licence on the 3rd go.
Failed first time because I did 60 in a school zone (Did not see the sign)
Failed second time because I drove over the line, when going around a (really small) roundabout.
Have P's now!
