    Just passed my Driving Test yesterday, at the 3rd time of trying :rolleyes:, and it got me thinking.

    A guy in my class at Uni has failed his test 8 times and counting!

    Supposedly examiners tend to fail boys first time more because they prejudge them as 'boy-racers' too!

    Also, during my test i came across a * fox-hunt! Bout 50/60 dogs and horses leaping around!

    So how many attempts did it take you to pass your test?

    [Poll to be attached]

    Nice one.
    I've only been learning for a month or so now, already dreading the test though. One of my friends failed for the second time the other day, after only a few minutes of the test an ambulance came behind her with the sirens going and she couldn't get pulled in correctly. Thought that was pretty * luck though lol

    1st attempt when I was 17. That was before they brought out the written test, I'd have been * if I had to do that *.
