You're all right.
Those who pass first time think they're perfect drivers, who also happen to be immortal*. They then spend the rest of their lives proving themselves wrong on both counts.
Those who fail repeatedly and have to take the test again, and again, and again, and so on until a TV series is made about them ... well they're failing for a reason, I suspect.
The best drivers are those who failed enough to realise that a driving licence is a privilege not a right, that they are not perfect drivers, and that others might validly have a lower opinion of their driving than they do, but not so often that, well, you wonder.
Yes, I failed twice then passed. So I'd say three tests is about perfect.

*admittedly, this is not difficult in respect of count 2 as all of us eventually prove ourselves to be mortal.
