Lets see 19 years of driving experience gets you nada in this country. I FAILED my driving test- no I did not commit any serious penalty (I even parallel parked like a rock star)- I got 16 minor faults (didn't use mirrors 100% of the time and undue hesitation for roundabout) and yes 15 is the pass score. So I am livid- the instructor/test giver was an arse from the get go 1. He mentioned a zillion times how he believed England's driving standards were so much harder than the States. 2 that most experienced drivers have not kept up to date on the highway code.3. of course it rains for my test- lest I expect anything else
So yes- I have a test date in july (some reason they are all booked up for the next 6 weeks and yes I have to pay another $100 to retake the test). Feeling like cher from clueless when she fails her test.(except its not sunny and my closet is so super small here) Feeling like this is a nice out for the company to send us home- can't drive anywhere need to go back home. The biggest joke was the test guy reminded me to remove the L plates to drive home since I can still drive on my USA licence until fall. I am going to start with the fake english accent and see how that works next time around:)

Sorry to hear the news Marina. I failed my first NY drivers test when I was a junior in high school and then failed the IL written test when I lived in Chicago...so annoying!!!!
To add my embarrassing story as well...I failed a test to get a California license when I lived there for a while- and it was only a written test. Who knew CA had so many rules/laws around pedestrians and bike riders?? In Ohio, whoever was bigger had the right of way. :-) Better luck next time! I know you'll knock 'em dead next time (not literally).
Thanks girls-love the empathy from fellow flunkers:)
