Once. There was a temporary traffic light 1 meter tall on the ground. I was right in front of it. The cars on the other side were stopped. There was no movement for like 2 minutes so I thought maybe I should start going, maybe the traffic light was broken. I looked at the examiner and he seemed bored. The woman behind me started honking and another woman passed me. All of this made me more nervous and I probably started moving the car or something (I don't really remember) and he told me to stop the car and that I had failed. I still drove all the way up to the point where the other guy was supposed to start his exam, hitting the sidewalk when I was parking a bit faster than usual because the examiner put his hands on the wheel, and then he blamed it on me.

It was required for me to take 5 more lessons before attempting again, and during those classes I was driving much more relaxed. I used to drive pretty well before that (my instructors were pretty surprised when I said I failed the exam; and yes, I had 3 instructors because of their vacations) but it was much more mechanic. I had no problem during the second exam. I was also more relaxed because the other guy taking the exam seemed much nicer and had as much experience driving as I did. The one from the first exam had driven since he was like 14 or something and he was a bit of a thug.

One time. That's because the person who was testing me could barely speak English so I couldn't understand what she was telling me to do! I still think that was BS and was not fair to me!:veryangry:

I failed a written test once. This was after I had already had a license for years but moved to a different state. They made me take the test again before they would issue me another license. Stupid me, I thought I could pass without refreshing my knowledge. It was actually kind of comical. They had us all taking the test in this room that for some reason was very dim. We took the test on computers so we didn't need the light to read. The funny part was when a person failed the test, the screen would turn a bright red telling you to stop. The screen would light up the entire dim room so everybody knew when someone had failed. I had to take the walk of shame back to the front after I answered one too many questions incorrectly. No real harm done. I took the DMV's book home that night, took the test the next day and passed.

I failed the written test I think a total of 5 times. I was in high school when I tried passing the first few times. I stopped and a couple years ago I took the written test and failed then I got a updated book, which was much smaller than the older one, then the next time I passed and got my LP and had to take driving school. I didn't have anyone to practicing driving with because I moved away from my mom (which is actually Why I think I passed in the first place. But I'll just not try to think that). I moved back in with her after failing at life so much and my LP expired 5 days after that. I tried passing the test on my last day and I actually got pass the parking (oh I took the driving test before and failed the first part, parking) but becuase there was a car headed my way I failed when I made a turn so now I have to take the knowledge test again and call and ask what I I have to do. I'll be even more embarrassed and pissed if I have to take driving school again.

Plus I know my mom will tell everything thing about me. Younger cousins even have their license and my mom use to claim and try to brag how "smart" I "am"... Yeah... Whatever.
The only ****ing person with a child, no car, no job, and can't do shit. Can't talk. Can't smile... Etc. sick of this happening to me. I hate being so stupid. Now it's like being a teenager all over except I'm not the teen that gets embarrassed around the parents who has many friends, great grades, have a car, and a lot of clothes, and the best new gadgets.
