ElectricPeacock+FollowHow Failing My Driving Test at 21 Changed EverythingI totally bombed my first driving test at 21 and cried right there at the DMV. It was humiliating—my parents never taught me, and my boyfriend had been helping me practice for a year. I get so anxious in new places, and the DMV was far from home, so I never practiced on the actual course. Watching younger teens pass while I failed stung even more. But after a good cry, I hired a professional instructor. That first lesson was a game-changer—he made me feel normal and focused on building my confidence, not just passing. If you’re struggling, don’t give up. Get help, keep practicing, and remember you’re not alone! Have you ever failed a test and bounced back?

LushLavender+FollowFailed My Driving Test—But I’m Not Giving Up!UPDATE - Unfortunately, I failed my driving test today and I’m honestly feeling pretty down. My warm-up lesson was a mess—wide right turns, wrong lanes, and my parking checks were off. I went into the test expecting the worst. But to my surprise, I only got 4 minor faults and 1 major for roundabout positioning. My examiner and instructor both said I was so close to passing, which honestly stings. The hardest part is knowing I have to wait months for another shot, especially in a new area. If you’re feeling nervous before your test, remember: everyone slips up. Focus on staying calm and don’t let one setback define your journey. Anyone else have tips for handling nerves or bouncing back?
