How to pass the driving test at the second attempt.

How to pass the driving test at the second attempt.

Having failed your driving test you will be upset or annoyed at:

1  Annoyed at yourself for not driving to your normal standard of driving.
2  Upset that something happened on your driving test that caught you off guard.
3  That you were not fully prepared for the driving test.

The 3 above points covers a lot. So lets deal with one at a time.

1  Annoyed at yourself for not driving to your normal standard of driving.
 Two things here.
A.  Is your driving to the test standard ( if we assume you are having driving lessons with a qualified instructor), then nerves has proberley  affected you on the driving test. Ask your driving instructor to give you some mock driving tests. This will help you to cope with the pressure and the routine of the driving test.
B.  You think you are at test standard( but your family member has been teaching you). Then the answer here is that you will proberley need a driving instructor to assess your driving to give you some pointers on what to improve.

2 Upset that something happened on your driving test that caught you off guard.
If you failed the driving test for one mistake and that was caused by something happening out of the ordinary.  Then ask yourself if the same thing happened how would you deal with it. The answer is proberley observations and anticipation on approach.  Work on these areas.  If you are not sure how to improve these then if you live in the Buckingham/Milton Keynes area then contact me to arrange a lesson. If you live outside of this area then contact  a local driving instructor.

3 That you were not fully prepared for your driving test.
If you are looking at your driving test report form(green Form) and it reads something like 22 minors and 2 serious 1 dangerous etc.  If we assume nerves has not played a major part then you were proberley not ready at that time for your driving test.  You will need to work on the faults that have cropped up on your driving test with either your driving instructor or your family member.  there is no point going straight back in for your test if you haven't address the faults or they will cause you to fail again.

If you feel you need some more answers then just ask me a question, I am happy to help.
