Driving test

A couple of days ago i took my driving test.. the road test went very well without any mistakes and i was very confident that i would clear.. however the result left me shocked when did not clear (it's not shocking yet)... i did see a couple of people who made obvious mistakes like turning without signalling... they cleared... donno how.... there was another friendly guy i was talking to in the bus... who already had a license from his home country and i watched him take the whole test from the bus... he did not clear as well... Another guy who cleared also made a blunder while turning and was worried that he would not clear and was pleasantly surprised to find that he cleared the test... When i approached one of the supervisors at the school who declared the result for the report card to find my mistake.. i was given an answer which i would rather not share..(this can get messy)....I just feel the results were very random.. the whole situation has left me with a bitter feeling... Am i overreacting here... ???...

the whole process is a farce, until they make defensive driving courses compulsory then the cowboy drivers will still be on the roads

all they care is if u r nervous or confident... if you dont panic and make mistakes... they will still give u a pass.. but if u drive perfect but look scared they wont ... is wat i know

nite_rider ...i'm not saying that i'm flawless at driving...... yeah and i really don't care who clears.... but i was not allowed to look at my report card...if there is a mistake how am i supposed to rectify that without knowing where i went wrong....... Although i dont wanna be judgemental here... just wanted to share my exp and see if there are other people who had diff experiences

one advise concentrate on your driving instead of focusing on who clears the test or not one minor mistake is enough for the officer to put an X on your test report , you have to be very alert with indicators , hazard proper viewing in the mirrors and so on
