0:03I went to take my driving test everything was fine and dandy.

0:08I brought everything necessary to take the test.

0:11I waited till the DMV called my name, then I got in my car to start the test.

0:16As we were driving around I was doing everything right.

0:19I was checking my mirrors, had a safe three to five second following distance, and was

0:23constantly scanning and focusing on the road.

0:26At the end of the test, however, the driving test person told me to turn into a neighborhood

0:30and do a reverse turn around the corner.

0:34The first time I did it I ended up in the middle of the street so she let me do it again,

0:38telling me to stay in my lane the second time I did it.

0:41I ended up in the middle of the street again.

0:44She took some notes and as I was driving back to the DMV she told me I did everything well

0:49except reverse turn around the corner.

0:50So I didn't pass, but I should practice that turn and come back in a week.

0:55Even though I was slightly disappointed, I understood my mistake and practiced reverse

0:59turning around a corner every day the next week.

1:03After a week, I finally went back to take the test except I had a different lady testing me.

1:08I was little nervous from failing the first time but I tried to push that nervousness

1:12out of my head.

1:14Right when I turned out of the DMV to start my second test the driving tester, "Yelled this

1:18is your second test and you make? That mistake you just turned with another car coming full

1:24speed into this lane."

1:26I was so shaken up I didn't even completely realize what I was doing wrong.

1:30Next, she told me to switch lanes and I did as quickly as possible because I was so scared

1:35that she would yell at me again.

1:37But then she did and said I cut off the person driving behind me.

1:42She was so angry that she literally said I can't even finish her test.

1:46“You need so much more practice.

1:48We are going back right now”.

1:49When we pulled into the DMV I thought my dad's smiling face hoping I had passed but I just

1:55started crying. The driving tester got out of my car and slammed the door and I shook

2:00my head “no” as my dad came to the car asked me if I had passed.

2:04I was so embarrassed. I failed yet again. The next month I drove a lot more and practiced

2:10as much as I could to get comfortable again when I decided to take the test again we went

2:15to a different DMV because I was too afraid that I would get one of the driving testers

2:20I had before. This time I had a very nice man who made me feel comfortable by asking about

2:25my summer and speaking a little about his. When we pulled into the parking lot after

2:29he had me do all the parts of the test he said, "Wow you did so well what made you fail

2:34the first two times?" Finally passing was such a response made the two driving test failures

2:40worth it
