Yeh but Faceache is great for stalking semi-friends and the like - is so funny to see car crash relationships played out over it

Failed my test (2nd time) The same bloke. failed last time on a pedestrian crossing, and overtaking to widely (leaving too much room, the crossing one fair enough. The other one, bull shit. Second fail, being too close to a car when going round it, which surely if I car too close I would have hit it?
This bloke really fucking dislikes me.
Summer fucked.
No appeals process.
What a load of shit.
The driving test system is shit... I felt really uncomfortable when driving the instructors car whilst doing all the unnecessary shit that I believe actually makes you a more dangerous driver (whilst participating in the "unnecessary shit", not generally)

Sorry Louis - I know the feeling... when can you book your next test?

Edit = spelling fail

Calm down dear, it's only a social networking site :lol:

I am slowly moving photos on FB over to another site (photoshop), so when the contract is up for my phone in February, I'm going to dropkick FB too (I've recently defriended well over 100 in anticipation of such, on top of the 250+ I deleted last year).

I used to be a driving instructor for my sins, know how ya feel Louis.. I had a lot of people fail on stupid little things... I'm sure there is something in the pass/fail rate.. I had a couple of really good people who could really drive well failed test after test..
Got many a story to tell but won't bore ya with them..
Good luck for the next one mate, hope u get a different examiner next time...

I hope I do as well, it's floored, how can they judge how good a driver you are in one hour, the fact that there is no appeals process is undemocratic. So yeah on the last test the bell end had the audacity to tell me I was a good driver - yet still fail me?
I'm so angry with it, surely any human with reasoning can see that if it was two mistakes on two separate occasions, which are down to interpretation, then take an overview and realise that I'm a far better driver than some of the wankstains they let through?

And then to rub salt into my wounds there's a legality which means you have to wait 10 working days before your next test, WTF?? oh and a 7 week waiting list, why on earth should there be a waiting list for driving tests?
Why can't they just train up some more people to sit in car seats whilst I pay for the petrol and also pay them another £62 for 40 minutes of their time.

I hate the DSA with a passion.

Waiting list as people are booking in advance!! Round here it is a month

It is annoying how easily you can fail (all 3 of my tests I passed first time so no idea why it's like not to pass,) but you can appeal. But at the end of the day it's a '17 year old young in experienced drivers' view against an examiners

It's also very annoying how someone else can cause you to fail too

I had a bike crash in my cbt 20 mins and passed that too !!

On another note Facebook is so fucking anti social
My mrs has joined these 'sell your tat' kind of page. And since joining them she's probably spent an hour out of 6 not on fb doing that
Why can't people hold a conversation anymore
