The first one was just that I stalled. I wasn’t aware u could fail for stalling as I thought it was just a minor as I just started again after and did absolutely fine but apparently its a major to stall the examiner said and when he told my Instructor about it afterwards he added sound effects when he was describing it and started laughing at me 😭😭😭 (I swear I am not lying this is a real thing that happened).I don’t know why I stalled I know this car inside and out but I think it’s because of the stress of the test.
The second one I think was fair altho I didn’t see it happen. He told me at the end that I steered too far to the right at one point and almost hit a car. If that’s true then I understand that I failed but he wasn’t able to tell me where it exactly happened and he never once went to grab the wheel or use the breaks or anything so how am I meant to know where I went wrong?? This is the second time I’ve had Steve from Bishop Stortford (yes I’ll name him because I’ve seen multiple posts on this EXACT examinor on this Reddit before). I’m not going to argue about failing and I’m OFC going to try again but I don’t think it’s fair that i don’t get any context to where and how I actually failed on that second fault. My Instructor wasn’t there so he can’t help, and if I apparently almost hit a car why did he not step in when it happened? I’m going to book another test after my instructor gives me his availability for next month and he says I’ve been test ready for ages, it’s just hard to sort out my mistake if I don’t actually know how or where or when it happened.
There was a few minors too but the main one was he said in general I was singling too early, and that I should wait till right before I’m about to turn before signalling as otherwise people may think I’m going to park. This fault even surprised my instructor who’s never mentioned that to me before
