As expected, i failed my driving test during my first attempt. This is how it goes.
I was really nervous and kept having adrenaline rush when the test date was nearing. So i just told myself to keep calm, and whatever the result is, theres always a reason behind it. I practiced some test roads from 6-7am, and afterwhich i went into the circuit for the final practice. I screwed up when it comes to parallel parking, vertical parking, ramp, directional chain, and almost every obstacles in the circuit. Yes, i almost gave up and wanted to “runaway” from the test. It was really a horrifying experience and i kept calling my friends to calm me down.
So at about 825am, my name was being called and i really really thank god my tester was a lenient one. He’s really nice, and because of that, i didnt even felt nervous when driving. He guided me to the Ramp, and i managed to overcome the first obstacle smoothly! Even though i was given 2 demerit points for not checking my blind spot, but hey! I seriously thought im gonna get an Immediate failure for that. 1 down, 4 to go. Next up was parallel parking. Can you imagine how my heartbeat was at that time? CAUSE PARALLEL PARKING WAS MY ONLY WORRY! I started to perspire, my hands were shaking. But i told myself to give my best. After turning right, reversing, drive again, turning left, reverse again, the car was still not in alignment. I almost cried. But after much adjustment, I managed to get the car into the slot! Awesome isnt it? Without hitting the curb! I was really proud of myself, really. Then i was asked to do vertical parking and directional chain, both was okay, just that i need to adjust it a few times. PHEW! Only one last obstacle left before i can finally move on to road. Road is so much easier right? So once you passed the circuit, its almost equivalent to you passing your test already! And this part was really disheartening. I hit the curb, and mount up onto it during the crank course. Even the instructor shouted “Alamakk” because i think he expected me to ace through the circuit smoothly. Sad isnt it? A mistake that i never thought i would make. But well, maybe i just need more practices to pass.
