LEARNER FAILED 6TH DRIVING TEST ||EP23 - 4TH APR 2024 10:14AM  

Exactly, as long as she doesn't give up and I've continued to reminder her of that. My unending support is guaranteed lol as long as she doesn't get tired of learning and retrying

That’s correct!! but after all these is said for some reason some learners still get caught up with steering around like in this case

Very pleased to hear that and congratulations 🥂 🥂🎉. Thanks for your financial contribution as well really appreciated 🙏🙏. Stay safe on the road 😀

At the mini roundabout, presumably the car approaching from the right was far enough away from entering the roundabout that you had ample time to go even if he wasn't turning left. Otherwise, the driving instructor wouldn't have said it was 'undue' hesitation (unless he doesn't know how to drive, which I doubt, they have to go through some very stringent tests to get qualified). Same goes for emerging from the side road. Undue hesitation is an issue as if there were cars behind you, they'd be expecting you to go and might start moving off themselves, so hesitating when it's not called for makes the road less safe. There might have been no one behind you in these instances so you'd only pick up a minor, but if there was it could be a major. You've got to learn to take criticism from your instructors otherwise you're not going to get better.

But if you look at the case you must understand how this can big a bigger problem on the road at rush hour especially when you're now driving alone and no Learner sign. But in you support though I understand where you're coming from when compared to other dangerous fault that can happen

Perfectly said!!! Learners get angry for being failed for undue hesitation or progress but then once they pass and doing school runs the criticise a slow driver 🤣 IRONIC!

I've reluctantly suggested that myself

I agree but only if nerves could give chance so I guess its going to be more practise

I'm hoping so too, yes you definitely was lucky as if there was other road user around who would have been affected then situation would have changed and this is exactly why luck is still needed on test :D. In my experience, most fails always boils down to ANXIETY AND NERVES hence some good drivers still end up failing and having a very friendly examiner definitely can be life changing although you shouldn't really let their face bother you but easier said than done lol

@@OJKENNY I do feel luck played a part in my test and the examiner definitely helped as in put me at ease, got me chatting and was open to conversation and we’d got a lot of things in common too, he was even joking with me which I’d not expected. I got following road signs but knew the area well as so many roadworks the examiners had stopped using sat navs a lot. I couldn’t get past 45mph on the dual carriageway because of the roadworks but did tell the examiner which stretches I’d be looking to be at 60mph if I could be. I’d booked my test in half term so roads were quiet too. If id have impacted on another driver I’d have rightly got a serious after that manoeuvre so was very lucky no other cars about (I’d wondered at the time why examiner was craning his neck out of the side window!)

Funny enough one of my pupil who is a Doctor just told me the same last week to speak to her GP about that

@@OJKENNYdefinitely must! This is a good experience for your future recommendations to your learners. Advice them to take some medicine before their exam. I am working as a First Contact Physio in GP surgery OJ

@@mengemulu99 I wouldn’t even recommend any medication to a learner but will instead advise to speak to a medical practitioner. You know out of desperation people can take medication without reading label for instructions or allergies

@@mengemulu99 plus you don’t want to take any responsibility for learner’s decisions in such circumstances

Seun trust me I've seen few other learners in their 6th attempt, even one of my Naija brother passed on the 5th. This is what pressure, anxiety and anxiousness combined together can do to the mind and you start to the crazy things. I've met an instructor who's learner passed on the 15th attempt so I AM HOPEFUL 😀🤞 SO LET'S GIVE HER SOME ENERGY SHE NEEDS OUR SUPPORT 😉

@kenny,she’s having my support forever

I wouldn't actually say break per say but instead more time on the road understanding better how other road users negotiate and think to some extent

The problem is that some people take break and then forget the few things they knew lol, thanks for your good wishes 😀

I don't often agree to that as a solution but in this case I have suggested that myself reluctantly
