    Before I forget, here is how it took me 6 tests to get the UK driving licence.

    Minor Faults: 4
    Serious Faluts: 0
    Dangerous Faltes: 2
    1. Judgement- tried to drive on to the roundabout while there is another girl on it - I thought she was turning left as she is on the left hand lane;
    2. Position - postition too much to the left, stopped by the examiner before hit the curb;
    3. Junctions - When I was truning to the right, tried to position on the oncoming lance - I thought it was on a double lanne road while it was single. 
    Test No. 2

    Test Centre: Guildford
    Minor Faults: 8
    Serious Faluts: 2
    1. Move off - I moved off when there was another car overtaking me - It was raining heavily and I lost patience after waiting for a gap for minutes. 
    2. Judgement - I tried to pull off while there is another car coming on a very narrow road with cars parking on my side. - The examiner broke the car before I did.
    Test No. 3
    Date: 18/12/2008
    Test Centre: Guildford
    Minor Faults: 12
    Serious Faluts: 2
    1. User of speed - I kept at 30 miles/hour on a 40 miles/hour road - I didn't see the sign for the spleed limit and there were street lights along the road so I assumed it as 30 miles / hour. 
    2. Progress - After turned to a 60 miles/ hour road from a 30 miles/hour one I tried to speed up as quickly as possible. The examiner said I raved the enginer, which is not friendly to the enviroment.

    1.Speed - The examiner said that I drived too fast according to the road conditions.
