I see, so you took a total of 12 tests, each time trying to better your score rather than actually pass!?

Passed the theory first time in 10 minutes and needed 2 attempts to pass the driving test.

I was a bit annoyed as I should not have failed the first time and the "examiner" made things up mad So the second time around I insisted on having my instructor in the vehicle so he could see what I was doing too.

I took three times for the theory and once for the practical. I got full marks for the questions every time, but for some reason really struggled with that stupid hazard perception system. Still, got there in the end.

1 theory and 2 tests for car.
1 theory and 2 tests for bike.

Next time I take a practical driving test I'll go in with the full knowledge I will fail on something completely stupid the first time.

Mr Mrs had 1 theory and I think either 4 or 5 practical tests.

Two practical tests, none of that theory stuff in those days just a few random questions at the end of the test.
