i passed my test first time. i was like 2 marks from getting perfect (excluding the reaction section this only counts if you have to stop or tern suddenly) i was so pissed i got all of the test right. i asked the guy with me after each section to tell me if i missed something and he said that i did every thing right. And then at the end he says that i wasn't signaling for one part and not checking my blind spot when changing lanes. i was so f***ing pissed.

i don't know how you guys can take failing for stupid things

i guess that it is expected for ppl to fail at least once

Honestly, good on him for failing you.

A stop sign means just that. STOP.

Not slow down and only stop if you really, absolutely have to.

Honestly, good on you for being a hero

If you bothered to read the thread you would know that he didnt fail because he ran a stop sign.

Hence your post is a fail...

Since we're on the topic of bad drivers...

I wish somehow they would re-test everyone again...

Cause half the people on the road don't know how to drive, for example.

-Random braking for no reason...

-People swirving in and out of lanes, as if they're drunk

-Random's that like sticking 20km's under the speed limit, etc, etc, etc

I can go on for ever...half the people on the road shouldn't even be driving.

I mean I remember a couple years back you could buy your license...

I failed mine twice in 1993 but I'm sure its way harder now. Failed one because the instructor needed to improve her observation skills - I was checking my rear view she just never saw me checking it and then I erred on the safe side and gave way to someone not quite up to turning across the intersection from me. Believe me when you do pass you'll be so happy you will forget those fails instantly :wacko:

Yes re-testing would be good it would take half the drivers off the road so the rest of us could enjoy it more lol.

failed my l's 3 times... finally got it ont he 4th try ( never was good at reading )... passed my p's 1st time.. nearly failed for speeding though ( 2 out of 3 crosses ).. lost my lisence the day after... still waiting till feb to get it back .. hahah

Just to rub it in some more

L's first go

Red (auto) first go

learned manual for a week.

Booked Red (manual) a week later.

First go

Green's first go.

Then take into account I've spent about 9 months not driving due to suspensions lol

failed my 1st p's test... was told... AND I QUOTE "get infront of the car beside us and turn right at the next set of lights" did exactly that... then the FU*KHEAD tells me "YOU FAIL!" cos i sped up 2 get infront of the car beside me...

can anyone tell me how 2 get infront of sum1 WITHOUT accelerating? excluding winding down the window and yelling out "SLOW DOWN MANIAC!"

FU*K i was not happy! lol

If only they failed more people, the roads would be a safer place possibly...

+1

Maybe you're just one of those people best suited to public transport ?!? :D

Since a driving test is really only a "simple" exercise to test BASIC driving skills.........

(This is 11-12 odd years ago now so I am not sure if you can still do it.)

My instructor came along for the ride on my P's test and sat in the back seat. He was well known by most of the examiners in the area. It just so happened he knew the examiner I got and they proceeded to spend the whole test gas-bagging to each other. I don't think the examiner gave a shit if I did the right thing or not. Try that! Works everytime.

AHAHAHa, that was my exact situation too. I failed first time and it was bullshit. i reckon i actually drove better the first time. i think i failed caus i did my test in my r32.lol and passed the 2nd attempt caus they were chatting their balls off.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
