Update: She just missed out. She's in a good mood though and she'll give it another go in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the well wishes ❀️

Hit the kerb, failed to indicate and failed to head check. Just little things.

I mounted the kerb on the way out of the car park, instant fail right there.

She's among excellent company, I failed my first test too. The nerves are much less second time around.

I failed my first test but had spent the test sweet talking the instructor about my medical volunteer work in Bihar, where the tester was originally from, so she passed me. My only failure was a stop sign but I was pulling into peak hour traffic jam so it's not like I blew through it, just pulled out and waited for traffic to let me in. Traffic was great around Carlton, everyone gave me heaps of room.

Some of the best drivers I know passed only after multiple rounds, and meanwhile I was a very anxious driver that took a whole year to start driving solo even after getting my Ls, but managed to barely pass the first time around. I really do think they took pity on me for my age though

Bummer CEO, I failed my first test as well, I didn’t even make it out onto the main road before I failed but I retook it and passed a few weeks later.

She’ll get it next time!
