no i failed two previous ones. first one i wasn't ready for. second one i failed for not reacting properly to hazards (aka i didn't kill the man who jumped out in front of me!) i was gonna appeal that one, but my car broke and was broke for months and therefore no point appealing.
Helen is in a bad mood rite now :mad: Helen failed AGAIN. damn new car, damn crappy 'corner' for reversing round (load of crap) and damn me for reversing wrong and going onto the wrong side of the road. didn't have long to practice in the car, only had it two weeks and it was in the mechanics for a couple days
If you can't reverse around the corner, then you may crash into a car when parking. Apparently. They're going to remove that test in the future, so I hear. It's the bit that makes me fear too.Everythings just one big adventure with you :P:D

Really enjoying the first few hours of it, am thinking about a restart because there's a condition of the first mission that if you don't act quick enough to do something, you'll fail, but the game's efforts to point it out to me didn't quite work and I just assumed I had as much time as I wanted to get started on the mission.
Quite clever tbh, but also annoying cause I wasn't thinking the game would treat me that way and expected timed events to trigger when I started the mission 0 -

Is this the one that most people failed too?
About one third of the class failed this one. I think about one third of the class are sitting each of the repeats; a good few failed 1 exam, about half failed 2 and another good chunk failed all 3. Only about 10 people passed all the first time around. At least I won't be lonely in the exam hall

At least TCD don't charge for repeats.0 -

Sorry you failed... sometimes i think it is purely a money-making racket.... and i agree, i passed my test a looooong time ago and i have never had to use the reverse around the corner yet.....
money making is right. cost me 80odd quid to fail the thing, now to apply again is another massive amount of money that i just don't have. but i seriously need to pass the thing. mind you whilst i am saving the pennies bit by bit i will be reversing round corners, particularly that nasty one almost daily!0 -

I failed a driving test on the reversing around the corner bit, because two dogs were around the corner playing on the road. I knew the area, it was rough as fcuk, and I knew the dogs were not intimidated by cars so wouldn't move out of my way. I also knew the dog owners were the type to give untold hassle if I injured one of the pets. So I requested a different corner, the instructor said no because the dogs would move. The dogs didn't move, I took the corner wide so as not to hit them, and failed the test.
Really should have contested that one, I was so bloody angry! I changed test centres and did the next one in Dublin, learned the new routes with a fantastic teacher who I'd highly recommend, and got it first time with him 0 -

Cavan, and I've heard far too many stories of people being failed for ridiculous things. I did my successful test in Churchtown in Dublin, it was a dream despite my nerves!
When I was about to do the reverse corner in Churchtown, we were in a residential area at a T junction and a woman came out of her house with a saucepan of food, walked onto the road and dumped the food on the white line marking the junction! So, about a car's width and a bit from where I wanted to end up. It was food for the dog, who apparently wasn't allowed to eat inside/on the path/somewhere safe?
The tester just laughed, which calmed my nerves and I did fine Later on we were stuck at roadworks on a really small incline, and I knew he was getting impatient as I was his last test of the day and he wanted to get back. So he told me to do a hill start when our light went green. I had happened to do a much trickier hill start earlier in the test while stuck in traffic, so he obviously knew I could do it! I was pretty happy with that 0 -
