today I went to get my drivers licence!
and I failed miserably...
the worst part of it is that I made a lot of plans and Now everyones angry at me since I can't drive. so now I'm sitting at home with my Mom giving her "I told you so" speech And I'm beginning to wonder how it can get much worst. (sadly I have more because my life has been just one big disappointment after another)
edit: it did get worse, I set up another appointment and its going to be a month before I can drive. FUCK!

Who says you'll pass the next time?
Why not concentrate on trying to do well rather than what you'll do once you've got the license?

Not only will this mean you'll have a better chance, but you won't disappoint anyone, including yourself, if you fail again.

^^ what he said
You may not pass, and you can't make plans for the outcome. Passing a test is one thing, but you don't really learn to drive until you've got a licence. Don't set yourself up to hate yourself again.

If it helps...
...I've failed my test four times already. It's depressing, isn't it? If I recommend anything, it's not to do what I did, i.e., don't get so put out that you stop driving and forget about it for two years before you can face taking a test again. You'll get there in the end - let's face it, plenty of drivers pass who certainly don't deserve a licence, so if there's any justice to the system then they must give you one eventually*.

That sucks.
I know the feeling, i *failed* my first test, but on such a petty, stupid reason, that my driving instructor complained, and tried to get a free retest, but it never happened. Passed the second time easy tho :) but i was shitting bricks the whole time.

It took me 3 attempts
I failed the first one as an Articulated lorry pulled out in front of me on a dual carriageway, and I got done for excessive braking (I'm sure the instructor would have preferred imitating a pancake in a bright yellow Nissan Micra within the undercarriage of a 60 tonne truck rather than me braking and missing him by inches)

I failed the second one on my own merit, I missed the sign warning of a sharp corner, and clipped the white line.

The third I passed with flying colours.

As has been said before, concentrate on passing rather than looking forward to being used as a cheap taxi!
