Depends what they are for. Multiple minors for the exact same thing will result in a major and a fail. Can't remember if it's 3 or 5 of the same fault before it's classed as a major. However 5 minors for 5 different things is not a fail.

It was 5 seperate minors,rolled back slightly on hill start and another 1 was not checking properly on parallel parking but she assures me she extra checked on this as instructor had pulled her about it a few days before

So on a dual carriageway she decided to drive in the incorrect lane.
How long is "after a while"?

Sounds like the examiner had good cause to fail her. Much better then her making mistakes like this in the real world when she's on her own.

In which case, take what she's said with a pinch of salt

Going into outside lane when should be in left, Driving too slow for outside lane, and not moving over immediately, That's a fail,


Its also a fail if you don't use a bus lane when its open for cars

Loads of people fail first time, there's nothing that can be done about it. Just sympathise for a bit then get the next test and a few extra lessons booked.

She failed for one reason and one reason only - she did not reach the BARE MINIMUM standard to be allowed on the road unaccompanied.

It's that simple.

We still don't know why she was in the outside lane - which I take to be lane 2 - if there was no other traffic about.

Indeed.

She dropped a major bollock on her driving test. She failed.

Now, why do I suspect half the problem is that at least part of her tuition and practice is with somebody who doesn't see the problem in that?
