FAIL

No I didn't forget about the blog, I saved it for wednesday because I had my driving test and I wanted to write about it in this blog. Most of you probably know I failed, via text or facebook or maybe you are just finding out now, I think I covered pretty much everything there.

My driving instructor, Leslie, picked me up around 10.15 this morning and she shown me under the bonnet and what I might be asked in my show and tell. We then went through the questions I would be asked and I got them all right, things were off to a good start :) We drove around, did some maneuvers and then headed to the dreaded test center and Leslie said "If you drive like you did on this lesson then you'll be laughing", well I wasn't laughing.

I sat in the waiting room, suprisingly not nervous, just anxious to get it over with. Anyway I got Colin, after the test Leslie said that he's the worst one I could have got. There was a guy with a beard and I really wanted him :( Anyway he asked me some show and tell questions, I answered them correctly and off we went.

Soon after we set off he asked me to pull over, so I did. He then told me to set off again, so I did. Whilst doing my blindspot checks I accidently knocked the windscreen wipers and they went on. At this point I completely forgot how to turn them off so you can imagine I was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!". Anyway I tried to turn it off, then left it for a bit, then tried to turn it off. I got it eventually but it was really embarassing.

Anyway we got back to the test center and he said, "I'm sorry Richard but you haven't passed this time". I noticed the way he didn't say fail in his sentance. Anyway Leslie got in the back and he explained why, apparently I was coasting :S. Yes I held down the clutch longer than I normally do but thats because I usually bring it up too fast, so I tried not to fail by doing something that made me fail.....irooony.

So yeah, I failed which is shit but I don't feel that bad, it's rare for people to pass first time anyway, I'll do it second time.....mark my words. If I fail next time don't go looking for this blog post to prove me wrong -.-

Anyways, sorry for the late blog and See yas later.
