Need a great excuse to explain why you failed your driving test? In this two part series; Book Theory Test Today looks at 10 of the most bizarre excuses given for failing the DVSA practical test. Discover the first five, now…
Book Theory Test Today says: “Bizarre excuses are often reserved for failure to do home work, or getting out of something you really don’t want to be involved in. However, it would appear that the phenomenon has spread to failing the driving test. If you’ve failed your driving test and need a better explanation for failing, check out these surreal excuses.â€
Use these if you’ve failed your driving test
- The pedestrian’s outfit blended in with the zebra crossing – During their driving test a candidate lightly struck a pedestrian with the vehicle’s bumper on a zebra crossing after edging too far forward while the person crossed. It all happened before the instructor could stop the learner.
The learner’s excuse for the incident was priceless, saying that it wasn’t their fault    because the pedestrian’s outfit blended in with the zebra crossing.
- Did I turn left or right? – After turning left when being told to turn right on two occasions, one learner driver decided to lie to the examiner, claiming to have dyscalculia – a condition that affects one’s ability to work with numbers – which affected the driver’s ability to distinguish between left and right. Â
- A sexy motorcyclist distracted me – Yes, one female learner driver got caught up ogling an attractive male motorcyclist to the extent that she unwittingly began to drive towards him. Her exam invigilator had to perform an emergency stop and she made matters worse by blaming her actions on her bad eyesight.
- Waiting a while – For seven minutes a learner driver waited behind a ‘queue’ of traffic ‘waiting for a set of traffic lights to change.’ After seven minutes elapsed the learner’s exam invigilator kindly requested that he drive around the parked cars!
- When in France – Having driven out of the test centre on the wrong side of the road, albeit a narrow road, the learner’s excuse for their actions was a recent trip to France.
Having driven on the right hand side for a few weeks, the learner driver said that they’d got so immersed in French culture that they had forgotten which side of the road to drive on in the UK. Not handy when you’re taking your test in the UK.
That concludes part one of this series; watch this space for part two, coming soon. Meanwhile if you’ve failed your driving test and gave a really bizarre excuse for failing, let us know.
