Hey all,
Just thought I’d share a bit of my journey in case it helps anyone going through the same.
I failed my first two driving tests – once for hesitation at a roundabout, and the second time for not properly checking my blind spot during a lane change. Both times were frustrating because I felt I was ready, but nerves definitely got the better of me.
What made the difference the third time wasn’t just more lessons, but changing how I approached the test mentally. I started driving more outside of lessons with a friend just to build real-world confidence, and I also made a habit of talking through my mirror checks out loud during practice drives – weird at first, but it helped keep me focused.
Passed with just one minor the third time, and honestly the relief was massive.
If anyone else is struggling with test anxiety or just wants to vent, I totally get it. Happy to share anything that worked for me.
