So frustrated as i could have been passed it with only 7 minors. GRRRR!!! bloody cracking nerves. Legs are shaking all along from the start of the test but then all in all am proud of myself as i did it well more than i expected especially on a dual carriage and 4 lanes roundabouts better luck next time.
Plenty of folks will understand your feelings.
Well done for maintaining your positivity, it's all good experience.
The driving test is darn tough these days and more than 50% do not pass first time around. Nerves can be the major contributing factor. If you're nervous and stressed you tend to make more mistakes.
Better luck for next time.
Try to focus on being calm and confident in your driving ability.
Don't feel intimidated by the examiner, they will not expect you to be be perfect.

Don't give up, being able to drive is just a huge advantage
