Spend a bit of money and have a couple of driving lessons with a professional instructor - they'll tell you the "little things" which you usually don't notice you're doing wrong when driving. It's best that you don't hold a full licence until you are able to drive well enough to pass, under normal conditions.	somebody (208)
517437	2007-01-19 02:14:00	Well I failed. I went slightly (1-2k) over 50, looked in my mirrors at the wrong times, didn't indicate early enough, and cut a corner. Looks like I'm a worse driver than I thought..... well i think if you had to ask the question in the first place the end result was obvious. but I am sorry to hear it	plod (107)

Looks like I'm a worse driver than I thought . . . . . With those qualifications, you can drive nuclear waste thru schoolyards and operate a tour bus with Oriental tourists going to Las Vegas . Mirrors? Nobody here in Seizure World uses them . Only a few mph over the limit? And you didn't get rear-ended by someone who wanted you to go faster? Turn signals? They leave them in the position the vehicle turned while leaving the new car dealer's . . . and they blink until the bulb burns out or the driver does . Cut a corner? Pedestrians have to get off the sidewalks here to be safe from people passing on the wrong side of the road to get around slow drivers . All you can see in the driver's seat is blue hair and knuckles . Some drive with their white-tipped cane out the window trying to feel the dots on the lane markers . Come to Hemet, California . . you'll be amongst friends of a feather .	SurferJoe46 (51)

Or on the licence tester's knee. :p Did you do the defensive driving course, George? Down here the instructor takes each person for a practical one-hour drive for the last lesson which is a huge help for sorting out areas people need to improve on. Otherwise I agree with Somebody. Take a couple of lessons with a reputable professional driving instructor as they should be able to advise the same.	FoxyMX (5)
517441	2007-01-19 05:34:00	lol fale. I don't understand why people would speed when they're sitting a test. Or cut corners. If you break any road rules at all when sitting your test, you fully deserve to fail.	roddy_boy (4115)

Yep, and she said I would do great on the full test and couldn't fault my driving (there might have been one minor thing, I can't remember). That's why I was surprised there was so much wrong with my driving. I don't have the spare cash for driving instruction. I'll just work hard on it and try again in a few weeks.	george12 (7)

If you break any road rules at all when sitting your test, you fully deserve to fail. I didn't speed deliberately, obviously. I slipped over 50. Nor did I even know I was cutting corners. He said it was just by a little bit, but still not good stuff.	george12 (7)
517444	2007-01-19 06:33:00	Actually you would probably not have been speeding. Most car speedos are set about 3 to 4 kM fast, I have proven this with my GPS in many different cars.	godfather (25)
517445	2007-01-19 06:38:00	The instructors wherever you are must be more strict than down here, but when I took lessons before I went for my full, they stressed the importance of never going even 1 k over the speed limit.	Greven (91)
