2nd Test - Failed

Today was my 2nd test and I failed it yet again.

I had the same driving examiner as last time, he asked me the questions on Handbrake and condition of tyres. Which i got right.

We drove off and avoided the large roundabout I failed on last time.

I had a double take at reversing around the corner, and for that I got a minor

I had a total of 4 minors in total

But my serious faults were for waving a car on to take the same turning as I was, even though I had right of way.
He also said that I indicated the wrong way at the roundabout.
I did have trouble parking the car at the end, where I stalled it three times, but this didnt go down on my form

Anyway next text is booked for mid February, but my instructor will be keeping an eye for any cancellations that come up inbetween now and then.

So fingers crossed - third time lucky

Much better lesson today

I quite enjoyed my lesson today, we did alot of town work, and covered roundabouts again. I have been shown to look past the previous junction and to see what the oncoming traffic is doing there. This did seem to help.

5th December

My driving instructor picked me up about 9.10 as usual. And I drove over to Taunton, about 40 minutes in a light on the dashboard lit up, and my instructor looked frantically to find out what it was in the manual. It didnt appear to be anything important, he said, so we carried on.

Just after all the dashboard died and then no power. I pulled over unable to use indicators or hazards. And the RAC were called.

It was pouring with rain, and after about an hour and a half, they pulled. up. It was decided that the alternator had gone, but this particular RAC man was unable to tow us, so we had to wait for another. After many hours sat in the car, watching the rain falling. I got home at 2.05pm

Two lessons now booked in for next week
