I failed my first driving license test. knowing that most people don't pass the first time, it didn't surprise me.
What did surprise me was how hard it is to attain perfection. That's what they expect from me, to perfectly obey the law and not put anyone in danger when I drive.
They expect me to do so even at the most dangerous circumstances, such as going through a lane which half of it is blocked by construction workers, without going over the restricting line which most corners have in order to divide the road.
It happened to me, and if only i turned my wheel a bit more to the left, the instructor wouldn't touch the wheel himself. Even if i wanted to remain optimistic, from the moment he had to touch the wheel, i had a feeling i wouldn't pass the test.
as an after-thought, it actually makes me feel bad, but at the same time i feel confident getting to know later what counts as an error and what's not.
The good thing is that i can always try again around 2-3 weeks later, and i can always try again and again. it's not like high school exams where the amount of times people could retake the finals was limited to certain dates and only about 2-3 times.
Unfortunately, due to holidays and stuff, the actual list of errors will be sent to me only tomorrow. usually it's sent either at the same day i take the test, or the day afterwards.
It sucks because I basically need to stay in the dark for a few days, not knowing completely what i did wrong. at that short time, it's a waste. i want to take a few more lessons and go for another shot!
I wouldn't say i'm a bad driver, but i'm not good enough to be recognized legally as a safe driver. There aren't really any other options besides taking the test again, but at the very least, i would feel less stressed and have time to improve specifically on my mistakes, so i won't repeat them ever again.
After all, there are roads with more than a single lane, and there are roads with more than a single driver.
ironic as it is, it's in my nickname.
