Did the tester make you stop to see if you'd scuffed the other persons mirror?
Good luck with the next test

I passed 3rd time.
Failed first for undertaking, didnt realise it was serious as it was a daul carriageway and one lane was for left turns and one for right, i was going left so i went past the car going right 
2nd time i didnt stop for a zebra crossing while people were waiting

did you have other driving experience?
36 hours is not bad for someone with no road experience and first time in a car ever
probably be 40 by the end of my next test.
tbh i dont care how long it takes as long asi get there. half of its luck. all it took was an inch to the right and i woulve passed.
shit happens
mumy said shes help with the cash too

Went out in my mums car twice for about half an hour each time before i had any lessons.
Didnt have a lesson for 2 weeks before my test either due to a knee injury.
I learn and pick things up very quickly though
