Originally posted by Crowleyoooh-i've got a friend like that as well. he was doing it in his instructors car, which decided to make funny noises. the instrictor got scared and removed themselves from the car, failing my friend on the basis that they didn't provide a safe car.
I did it the first time in my dad's car.
The friggin hydraulics pipe for the power steering popped while I was doing my perfect parallel park.
This strange orange colored steam started boiling out from under the hood - so I was failed the 1st time as well.
or something along those lines-i forget the exact story 😛
i drove a guy to his driving test three times. (a driver has to escort you to your first test, in texas.)
first time, he had a hit and run before the test and missed it (backed into a parked car and when he came by to pick me up he had university police on his tail with lights flashing). he got a ticket and the trooper wouldn't reschedule.
second time, when he was backing the car out of the slot to start the test, he didn't look first, a car driving up screeched and beeped at him, and the trooper told him to park the car.
third time he passed!

You can't prove that.
Me old Mum was so proud she gave me a boot right in the lorry and sent me to Coventry.

Two serious faults. Just stupid mistakes. I went the first 35 minutes with only minor faults and blew it in the last ten minutes. Damn dual carriage ways and roundabouts.
You'll all be glad, the roads will be a much safer place for the next month. 😀
