Venting I failed my license test for the 2nd time

[malakai]

I'm so gutted

I think I'm autistic because stuff just won't seem to stick with me. I live in Australia, and the first time I did the test I only did one fail item which was failing to merge, and the instructor had to intervene which is an immediate fail. Today I did even worse, apparently I "indicate too early", same issues with lane changing and the only thing I got perfect were my parking and manoeuvres. I'm 20 and continue to fail, and am borderline suicidal over this. I just want to break down, especially when my peers all got theirs 1st go

Fuck

Sorry to hear it. That's rough, but it happens to normies too. Getting my license was one of the most stressful things I ever did. Book another appointment ASAP and practice as much as possible. You don't want to prolong your suffering. Trust, you'll feel much better when you get this over with. Also, keep in mind that 20 isn't that old and it depends on the instructor you get. You're not autistic - it's probably just anxiety

How do people fail their driving tests? Mine was literally getting into a car, making four right turns around the block after which the instructor had me park in parallel and that was it.

It's funny how you can fail the test for mistakes that people with licenses make all the time.

It's ridiculously expensive in Germany

 

[Erenor]

yes it is, which made it even worse (and still I had to wait 2 hours on a parking lot in the winter before the guy arrived on my 2nd try). It's also harder than it is in 'Murica from what I've heard

I never even tried to get my license

I still think a car is unnecessary in a big city (and car traffic should be reduced there). The only problem is a lot of employers want you to have a licence

idk if its hard in australia or something

driving is so easy. ive played racing games and gta all my childhood so maybe its just natural to me. i got a few tickets for speeding and reckless driving though (drifting for luls)

no, I failed my first time. I think I was 21. Don't give up bro, it'll feel great when you finally pass. I don't know if you suffer from anxiety or not, but getting a license was a major turning point for me. Everything else seems way less scary afterwards. You can make a lot of progress in other areas if you take advantage of the momentum.

As @QuantumDummy said, driving in a "real life" setting is very different from a test environment. It's actually one of my favorite copes now

The license test is super anal, i think you can only make like 3 "mistakes". This is why so many people go back a 2nd time. My mom made me practice for the mandated 80hrs of "pre-test training", which most people obviously don't do. I would've definitely failed if I didn't constantly practice.

 

[jackbud]

19 and no license still

 

[SupremeG]

Remember that I had problems with gear change. Driving automatic cars is easy af, though. Got my license with 24, now I'm 25.

 

[ToxicAlcoholSyndrome]

Yeah, 23 here and I failed my driving test horribly... try backing up into someone's car and having the whole DMV come out to laugh at you.. yeah. Btw that was like 5 years ago now? Fuck me.. now I just walk everywhere I go.
