Not sure I agree with this. I know a few people who have failed tests due to nerves - of the test itself, not of driving. I passed first time but it was a miracle because I was a nervous wreck,

Then you've shown that you can drive whiled stressed. Sometimes driving can be stressing, sometime you could be stressed from work, family ect, You need to be able to drive properly and safely. I don't agree with people who say its not fair I only failed because I was nervous. If you where too nervous to pass a test your not ready to drive yet.

I suspect the op reason from failing probably comes from not having the money to get enough lessons before hand. My advice give up for now get a job. Save up them try again later on.

Again, the OP simply cannot afford another driving lesson again.

What if the OP fails again? - how many more times does he want to try with funding?

OP, if you cannot afford another test at present you can't afford a car, that's not me or anyone else having a dig, it's the truth.

If I could not afford the petrol after buying my car, that would mean I could not afford a car or to run one, meaning what is the point in you taking a test that you may fail (which I hope you wouldn't) but even if you do pass, you can't afford the test and therefore, you won't be able to afford the Tax, MOT, Insurance for a new driver and petrol/servicing/repair costs.

I'm sorry but I think if you are honestly saying you can't afford another test, I would leave and put on hold your plan of getting on the road at present, save for a while and re consider your income and see if you could afford it in the future, at present, as many others have stated, you cannot

I totally understand what elvenmunk means. It's not about getting a car or being able to afford insurance, it's just nice to pass your test and have a license there for when you can afford a car.

I doubt that when I pass my test I will able to afford to run a car, but it would be nice ti have the choice to rent a car.

However, saying that, there is no funding that I know of to help you out with lessons. If you find one, be sure to let me know!

Good luck on your next test.

save up and go again! having the license for the future is allways a good thing. i don't think you can get funding, just enjoy beans and toast for a while
