basics i'm afraid. better luck next time Title: Driving tests Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 12:32:46 To decrease traffic congestion only people who pass first time should be allowed to drive...
Only joking. I'm sure that once you reach a standard which enables you to take a test it is down to luck on the day.

I'm sure you'll pass second time around, put it down to good experience and a lesson learned. I'm sure Beckham didn't score his first ever free kick or Ronaldinho didn't pull off his first 'flip-flap' to the degree he can do now Title: Driving tests Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 12:48:24 I'm glad they didn't let you on the road. Peole who don't indicate piss me off almost as much as people who don't let me in from filter lanes coz they think i'm cheating... :x

Title: Driving tests Post by: STFC_Chris on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 12:55:25 I think the route that you are given tends to have quite an influence on the final result. I had the Wroughton test route, which meant I was driving around empty streets. If I had had to drive around the town centre for 40 minutes instead, going through one-way systems and the Magic Roundabout etc I would have been far more likely to fail.
Better luck next time. Title: Driving tests Post by: yeo on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 13:21:33 I failed on a simular thing 18 years ago.
Never tried again, I take failure pretty badly :D Title: Driving tests Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 14:15:55 congrats, i'm sure you'll get the keys to you midgets hurse (BMW 1-series) as soon as you pass, they dont even have indicator stalks, so you'll be ok. :-))(
people not indicating does my fucking head in. Title: Driving tests Post by: oxford_fan on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 14:51:07 what minors/majors did you get kickass? its kind of the point with driving tests to be really pedantic, some of it is down to which instructor you get and how many passes he's given that month (they have quotas) so a bit of luck too.
i passed first time, but thought i had failed. for anyone living in oxford, the cowley centre has the lowest pass rate in the country so i'd go for another nearby Title: Driving tests Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 15:04:40 I'm sure they don't have quotas. If you're good enough, you pass. Simple.

Wrong! Bad practice. if you do it by autopilot it just becomes a habit and so doesn't prove that you have actually assessed the hazard properly.

Last time I took my mock I was flying. Five lessons ahead and the old instructor said I had a natural affinity for driving. Do I bollocks! :twisted: Something just clicked and I’ve gone incredibly crap and it’s taken an age to get to the same standard again. No idea why though I don’t get nervous, enjoy driving but possibly get a bit pissed off when I make a mistake but nothing rash like that. I must be getting close to a 1k in lessons now! :evil: Title: Driving tests Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 18:05:05 Quote from: "jim" Quote from: "arriba" if your turning right you signal right. basics i'm afraid. better luck next time So, no other traffic, no pedestrians, still signal right?

Title: Driving tests Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 18:19:34 My instructor agrees with Jim. You don't indicate in a test if there's no traffic or pedestrians to benefit from it.
Supposed to show that you've checked and made the assessment. Not an outright fail offence if you do but he thinks it can go against you. Got me a bit at first as well.

You are just plain wrong. If there is no one there to see your signal, for who's benefit are you doing it? Part of the hazard is the other traffic. In assessing the hazard you will take the traffic or lack of it into account. No other traffic, no need to signal. Now, if you say that you signal otherwise you fail your test - that's a different matter - but it's still not right. Title: Driving tests Post by: oxford_fan on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 18:53:05 can we all drive around like nutters when there's no-one to see us?
i'm going out ragging it at 3am then.

As long as you assess the hazards. Title: Driving tests Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 19:00:21 What if there is a hazard you cannot see? Like a pedestrian in the dark. Although you may not see them, signalling would be useful. Unless it's a pikey.
Title: Driving tests Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 19:11:41 Quote In a recent reply you said that indicators should always be used "when it would help or warn others". Would you agree, therefore, that there is no need to indicate left when exiting a motorway if this can be done without reducing speed? This might also deter a driver in the middle lane who is contemplating moving back to the inside lane from suddenly doing so. D.G., Haywards Heath Indicating is simply the best way to inform other road users of our intentions in good time. However, if there are no other road users or nobody would benefit from a signal, why give it? The level of visual awareness required to be sure that no other cars are present is beyond most learners, so they are instructed to indicate at all times. As we gain experience - and, hopefully, greater skill and awareness - we are better able to decide whether indicating would help or warn other road users. As far as exiting motorways is concerned, if you think that other road users would benefit from your signal, then make it. If you are absolutely sure there is nobody around, don't. As a basic rule, it is better to signal if you have even the slightest doubt about the prevailing traffic situation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2001/07/27/emrip28.xml Title: Driving tests Post by: DMR on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 19:14:59 Yeah, as far as I'm aware, I was taught to only signal when necessary.
Don't take it too hard mate, remember if you're instructors put you there then you're good enough.

Big fuck off people carrier, trying to get up my exhaust pipe for 3 miles afterwards. I don't do violence, but had the dumbass prick made me get out of the car, i'd have bludgeoned him to death with a winscreen wiper.
THERE ARE FILTER LANES FOR A REASON, YOU FUCKING BELLEND!!!

Its simple then - you were taught wrong. if you signal automatically then there's no guarantee that you have seen and assessed what is going on. You signal in order to give information to other road users rather than to pass a test. For what its worth, I was taught to drive in the police and thats their method - good enough for me. Title: Driving tests Post by: Arriba on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 11:33:22 and coppers are great drivers that abide by the law,bollocks.i passed all my tests so i was taught wrong?ok.
your point is valid but to indicate you have obviously assesed the situation or you wouldn't indicate.you dont signal automcatically but if a turn is to be made a signal is required. also you give signals to give info and to pass a test as the original poster of this thread found out and failed!

Title: Driving tests Post by: RobertT on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 11:41:08 Isn't the teaching phrase - "Mirror, signal, maneouvre"?
Hence you should first check, then indicate your intention, and then carry it out. Lets not forget you have a blind spot in a car, some more so than others. It is beyond the physical capabilities of a human being to be able to see a full 360 degree outlook of the road before making a change, so I guess indicating is essential. Anway, better to indicate by habit than not indicate by habit.

I didn't say that you dont signal by habit I said that you see what the hazard is all about and signal if appropriate. if there's no one there who is the signal for? Title: Driving tests Post by: Arriba on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 12:00:04 you are wrong,how many times does it need explaining.
the lad failed his fucking test for not signalling,so he was wrong. robertT has made it simple for you to understand in the above post,mirror, signal, monoeuvre. there are alot of asshole truck drivers but most are the best drivers on the road. personally i have had to pass 3 tests to drive the vehicles i do and have had 3 different instructors and 3 different examiners so are they all wrong like me then?. i indicate my intentions always, traffic or not.test or normal driving. it's ok i suppose not to indicate if there is nothing about but human error means vehicles or pedestrians wont always be spotted,so its better to do the right thing always than sometimes when the driver thinks there is nothing about and get it wrong and cause an accident .

To clarify if you are turning at a junction you always signal right even if there's no visible traffic as there may well be around the corner of the junction that you cannot see. However if you are pulling in/out from a parking spot, driving around an obstacle and there is definitely no one to benefit then you would be penalised for signalling in a test. As for a roundabout you should as due course as it's unlikely you'll have the full visibility to see that there is nothing coming. However if you are 100% certain there is not anything there then you wouldn't have to signal. In test conditions though to avoid doubt you should.

and you have gone back,read your previous posts. how can it be wrong to indicate your intention to manoeuvre,if done correctly there is no error,but by not indicating there clearly is. like i said before if nobody is about to witness the signal then fine but you cannot guarantee that you will see all that is around you,therefore a signal is the safest way to go and thats what i was taught.

Typical girlie - she was probably thinking about which hosues had new curtains as she took her test. :wink: Oi you cunt, ever driven around Headington in poxford, they don't have curtains they have boarded up windows Headington is a lovely place - if the world had piles, they'd be there Title: Driving tests Post by: McLovin on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 14:23:17 A friend of mine got a minor for over-indicating.

my opinion has stayed the same but you have contradicted yourself. bad drivers dont indicate,ie fools like you. Title: Driving tests Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 14:25:00 Right so if there's no-one in sight and I don't indicate I'm a boy racing moron?

He seems a little fragile at the moment so don't do anything to undermine his world view. Title: Driving tests Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 2, 2006, 14:26:56 I think 'fragile' is perhaps doing him a favour?

as for dmr,it doesn't make you a boy racer not to indicate when nessasary but,you may not have seen something or someone that would have appreciated a signal being given as people dont see everything all the time.
