Today, I took my driving test for the first time. The instructor stopped it after less than ten minutes, and insisted she drive back to the test centre "in the interest of public safety." FML

Don't worry about it. I just failed my drivers test. My tester was extremely intimidating and made me really nervous. You'll get it next time, just be sure to practice more.

Just practice some more and prepare for the next test. The instructor is supposed to tell you what you did wrong so you can work on it. Good luck! =)

Well, that would explain it. If she's more than one person, maybe a different personality was the one who studied or took lessons. >.<

Ten minutes? How far did that ******* instructor take you? My driving test took less than ten minutes.

Thats why Americans can't drive for shit and have more traffic accidents than Europeans

#61 - That's pretty awesome. 30-40 minutes? What does the test all inquire?

American have more traffic accidents because we drive more. Our infrastructure is more spread out than in Europe and our public transportation (where it exists) is laughably inadequate on a good day. Give us some trains and watch the collision numbers drop.

In tests here you have to just drive around to check you use the gears properly, then you have to do certain manoeuvres you're taught in lessons. If you get under a certain amount of mistakes you pass :)

Ok, so you can't drive. Don't act like you were unaware. Practice and go back when you're not scaring the bejesus out of people.

There's always next time to get it right. Should definitely practice before trying again. It's not too difficult to drive, really. Did both my permit and driving test on my first try. Not hard at all. Good luck on your next go! But yeah, 10 minutes? That's a long time for the test. Mine was only parallel parking, then driving around the block. Pretty simple stuff.

Again, OP is in the UK, where driving tests are more involved than in the US.

Ohhh, okay. Thanks. I didn't even see that. Understandable then why it's longer and more involved. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. Didn't even see that's where she lived.
