I failed my driver's test 4 times :(

63% Normal
12 Comments

I hate driving because it makes me so nervous even as a passenger but I have to because I need a job and there isn't anything close enough to walk or bike and there is no bus route around here.
anyway I feel so stupid because all my family passed on their 1st try. Everytime I take it I just want to get it over with and end up rushing and not able to focus...
I am going to take it 5th time tomorrow morning, since today i would have passed until the very end i rolled thru a stop sign cos I got too ahead of myself. I don't even remember doing it.
Now it probably sounds like I am a bad driver but on the road people say i drive well. I passed my permit and maneuverablity tests on the 1st try. Its just the performance anxiety I guess

anyway is this normal?? did you or someone you know have to take it multiple times before passing?? i just feel so bad about the wasted time & money

    It's because you want it so bad and that's causing you to fuck it up.

    I know it's easier said than done but you really need to relax. You know you can drive just take your time don't be in such a rush.

    It took me three times. Alot of it has to do with anxiety. My situation was that and a combination of a hole driving instructors. The last instructor I had told me something that has stuck with me for 22 years now. He said " Everytime u get behind the wheel, be prepared of every driver around u is just about to make a mistake. It will build your confidence and make u a good defensive driver. Good luck & don't give up! I had a friend that finally passed on her 8th try!

    My brother took the test 3 times before he passed it on the 4th try. It happens but eventually you'll get it right.

    Look it another way....you're now four times more experienced at the test then everyone else! You're not a bad driver, its just having luck on the day! I only just passed on my first go. Keep trying...the reward is worth effort!

    Things happen, don't worry about it. It is only a very small thing to go wrong, after you've had your license a little while everyone will have forgotten about it.

    Don't worry about it, I barely passed on my third time even though I shouldn't have because I hit the curb. Everyone learns at a different pace :)
