triggy99 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Failed my test, hit a fucking wing mirror on a parked car, got my test terminated and I'm proper gutted HAHAHAHA You're such a fucking marmite sailor Triggy... It'll happen Magma - someone who passes his test 3rd time around is no worse a driver than one who passed first time. Just a little more out of pocket, that's all. dont be silly. imo if he managed to fail by hitting a parked cars wing mirror he obviously isn't ready for his test yet he didn't pass though did he knob-jockey...? Triggy didn't say that Magma wasn't ready to pass, he said he wasn't ready to sit his test. Read the fucking thread properly Dave. Magma has just sat the test for the second time and failed - hence my comment about being a 'third time passer' making him no worse than a first timer.... Triggy decides that it's a silly comment to make for some reason. He's obviously a member of the "i passed first time therefore I'm a better driver' brigade - what a load of all tosh, all drivers are assesed to the same level so if you pass, you've made the grade. I bet Triggy's also one of these who reckons he's a bigger man for eating a hotter curry than the next bloke too FWIW - I passed first time before it's claimed I'm sticking up for a fellow failer. nah i dont like really spicy things so you're wrong.

Oh and Triggy, maybe I am wrong about the spicy stuff but obviously not the first-time pass argument, am i? you are right i passed first time but you are wrong about how i think i'm better than people that took longer. e.g. if a person fails because of going through a red light or something minor i wouldnt say they are a bad driver but if someone knocks a mirror off a parked car i'd say yes i am a better driver. e.g. one of my mates took 4 tests to pass and he failed one because he went up on the curb so fast the instructor made him get out to make sure he hadn't popped the tyre. so yes i would say i'm a better driver than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've clipped a wing mirror before, and my friends tell me I'm a very safe driver. Things like that just happen sometimes. I didn't see Magma's test so I've got no idea if he's a bad driver, nor does anybody else. And like Craig says, the amount of times it takes you to pass has no bearing on how good a driver you are. One of the worst drivers I know passed first time. One of my friends failed his first test in January, and has not tried since because he's in a huff. Now THAT is the wrong attitude. Keep trying Magma. Ps Triggy skipping a red light is not neccessarily something minor. I've seen some people end up in a very nasty way after accidents caused by people doing just that.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My brother had about ten tests, then when he eventually passed, immediately got a job where he covered about 80000 miles a year. He's never had an accident since, so Craig's point about the number of test having no relevance to how safe a driver you are stands up imo.

trophyshy 6434 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 No offense mate, but how long until Magma becomes a by-word for failure? "So first date, how'd it go?" "Magma'd it mate, I threw up in her hair..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Most people shouldn't pass their test. And then they should be restricted to low CC cars (that take at least 18s+ to get from 0-60) and preferable 60 mph limited until they are at least 21, or preferably 25. Perhaps there should also be a large spike directed at their genitals that is directly linked to the front bumper too - would probably cut out a lot of idiocy.

Magma has just sat the test for the second time and failed - hence my comment about being a 'third time passer' making him no worse than a first timer.... Triggy decides that it's a silly comment to make for some reason. He's obviously a member of the "i passed first time therefore I'm a better driver' brigade - what a load of all tosh, all drivers are assesed to the same level so if you pass, you've made the grade. I bet Triggy's also one of these who reckons he's a bigger man for eating a hotter curry than the next bloke too FWIW - I passed first time before it's claimed I'm sticking up for a fellow failer. All I did was clarify triggy's post. Don't think Magma's a bad driver or a good driver, I know a load of bad driver who passed first time and a load of good drivers who failed a stack of times. I would say that an unscrupulous instructor could easily eke out a few more lessons from a learner by submitting them for the test when they're not sufficiently prepared. Say it would take 20 lessons for Joe Bloggs to pass the practical test, Snidey driving instructor puts him in for it after 15 lessons, Joe fails, Snidey books him in for another 10 lessons, earning him another £200... The ways he's failing don't sound like that's the case, just strike me as nerves tbh. I passed first time and know damned well I was a bad driver, but then as I've grown up my driving has improved. I'd suggest however our Magma should maybe not tell anyone that he's taking the test so there's no pressure what-so-ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
