Today, I failed my driving test. I've been a legal driver in my home country for 8 years, but can't pass the test here. FML

It's alright, Spongebob didn't give up, neither should you.

Well, I can see that being annoying. But it might simply be a 'getting accustomed to change' thing, depending on where you moved from and how many differences they are. I mean, generally the overall picture is the same, but there might be little nitty-gritty things that are different and a different side of the road etc and it all adds up. Or you're a bad driver who happened to never get caught out at all for eight years, and therefore you had no inkling of any faults, which I'd deem unlikely.

Aw, just try again. I failed my driving test (twice) if that makes you feel better. No? Anyways, FYL.

are you being serious? that's pretty common in the UK

I failed mine twice too. I think the instructor just hated me >.

go back to your home country then!

Different countries, different road laws. Idiot... Also, the longer you have been driving, the harder it is to pass tests like that because we tend to create habits or think we automatically know it all.

No worries, OP! Driving tests are difficult no matter how long you've been driving.

ha ha I read it co-president of the IBITCH.

#100 Definitely not co-president of whatever that is. I'm far from being a bitch.

I wonder if it was the road test or written test. I let my driver's license lapse, and when I went to get a new one, I didn't bother studying the book since I had been driving for about 15 years. I almost failed the written portion because I didn't know things like the legal blood alcohol content.

#22 The written test is so much harder than the road test in my opinion! The legal blood alcohol content question was one of the few I got right on my first try.

You're obviously not a drinker. Those who drink heavily know that one. We usually also know the math to determine whose is lowest when it's time to go home.

Well in China everyone is a bad driver. In America you have to be decent to get a license. Hahaha

It's incredibly hard to pass your exam in the Uk. Best of luck to you!
