nah. on my first test I got a dangerous as described above, and still drove back.UK31337 said:Meh... got 7 minors and a serious on my first. Passed my second with 9 minors.
IIRC, you get minors, serious and dangerous. Dangerous faults result in an immediate termination of the test, and you have to walk back to the test centre because the examiner isn't covered by insurance to drive you back.
Serious is something which is potentially dangerous, but not dangerous at that exact instance. For instance, I got a serious for poor observation - not dangerous that time, but it could have been.
on my second test I got a 'dangerous' so bad that the examiner actually felt the need to grab the steering wheel, though I didn't quite understand myself because I was well aware what was going on and everything. but after he'd grabbed the wheel I said to him that I didn't know what the hell he was doing and said that since I'd failed i'd like to go back, but he suggested it was better to finish the test, at least then i'd be aware of what else I needed to improve on...
third time was the charm though, passed with 3 minors, I think that was something like a missed lifesaver look, a bad gear selection and something else.
