Red face Guess what! Hubby passed driving theory test today and I failed - again!!!!

I am now too mortified to talk about it!!!!

I am already getting advice from the hubby about how to pass - as if he is now some expert!!!

I am never gonna hear the end of!!!!!

I really need plenty of

And to make matters worse my job interview today was really hard - 45 min written test and 30 min interview - for a admin assistant job!!!! :scared:

And I've got another interview tomorrow, so I can't drink too much tonight!!

I'm too embarrassed to post any further threads about my driving theory tests until I've passed!!! Although it is funny and it gives everyone a giggle!!

Good luck to all of you who need to take your tests!!!!!

OMG. do not tell him when you go next. walk. even if it means you losing all the skin off of your feet .

Honestly though. the questions are tricky. no need for embarasment .

you will pass, just up your mortgage to pay for it (sorry couldn't resist)

The only advice I can give is move to N.S.W. as you don't need to take a test there. Both the wife and I failed our DKT mocks that we took online but then they changed the rules and now we won't need to take one as they just swap your old UK license for a N.S.W. one.

Seriously though best of luck for the next time and good luck for the interview.

Sorry Shell, tell the smug git that he'll have to drive you every where as you don't have a valid licence, your very own personal chauffeur!

It was those bloody right of way diagrams that got me! They look nothing like they do in the learners manual (and yes I do understand how to give right of way - I've been driving for 15 years). I did the test on the RAA website three times and got 100% and then failed the real thing ! I was so upset and embarrased I called my husband and actually cried over the phone.

Good luck for the next time.

No way, we've decided my missus is going to drive everywhere while me and little-un sit in the back playing golf on the PS2 (missus won't play - so she has to drive)
