They must have really need a pass with me to hit the quota as I had 13 minors and passed - I believe 15 or 3 of the same was an automatic failure.Deleted_User said:

I love a good conspiracy theory, the less plausible the better, so this one’s great. Having just paid £660 to tax one of my cars, and £100 to fill it up with petrol, the idea that not letting me drive by failing me unfairly is a money-making scheme is laughable.Deleted_User said:It's all a money making scam. I failed my first test because some idiot in a Range Rover didn't give way at a roundabout. Nice money earner for the Govt.
You need to take responsibility for your own mistakes. I assume you’re very young, but once you move out of your parents home you really can’t keep saying “it’s unfair” when you mess up.0 -
When I passed my driving test, the instructor asked me to double-park to drop him off back at the test centre.He was surprised when I said no, I'll reverse into this parking space here.As for failing, just go again.0

16 is a fail. Three of the same may be, but only if judged to be habitual and occurring throughout the test.Marvel1 said:
