Hello, I'm Infinity.<3
Today I failed my driving test for the 8th time. When I was 17-18, I learnt to drive, but I was always really nervous and my instructor taught me quite out-dated methods like changing gear sequentially rather than block changing etc. I failed six times with her in the space of two years.
I left it a while and my theory ran out, took it again last year, and then met my new instructor. With him, I took a test a few months ago, and I failed with 4 minors because I ended up in the wrong place. All my other tests were taken before the change of format, so this was the first time I took a test with independent driving.
Today I took it again, when we got to the test centre they changed my test time, which wound me up because they told me they sent me a letter (but I hadn't received one). Luckily they changed it to a later time rather than date so I went ahead with it. They decided to have a second examiner in the car with us observing the whole test. Already upset with the situation and then having two sets of eyes on me really threw me, so I failed with 2 minors.
I'm really depressed about this, and I think I should give up. I feel like a massive failure, my entire family, all my friends, everyone I know drives. I don't know anyone that's taken their test more than 3 times, let alone 8!
Sorry for the long read, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this? And if so, how did they cope? It's really upsetting me now.
Thanks. <3
