Our second instalment reveals even more outrageous reasons that learner drivers have given for an unsuccessful attempt at the UK practical exam. Failed your driving test? Look and learn.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Failed your driving test? Here are five more awesome excuses you could use<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. The instructor put me off \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In any other circumstance this could have been a valid reason, for instance the instructor could have started eating noisily. However, on this occasion the instructor was justified for his intervention.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A learner driver decided that it was the instructor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fault for putting them off when told to take the next \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcavailable\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 right. Unfortunately, the learner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s failure to follow instructions led them down a one-way street in the wrong direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the event that you have failed your <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book-practical-test\">driving test<\/a><\/strong>, we recommend that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blame the instructor. Instructors talk and knowledge of your misdemeanour will spread, meaning they might be less favourable with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>7. Too much energy drink \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how one learner driver described what consumption of too much energy drink did to them&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The day before taking my final A-level exam, I took the driving test. Big mistake because I was studying like mad and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d overdone it on the energy drinks, turning up to my test twitching uncontrollably. I registered two majors during the test, as well as multiple minors.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8. I blame it on the movies \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve failed your driving test, it was probably the fault of Fast and Furious. That Vin Diesel has got a lot to answer for.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how one learner motorist described the influence of movies on their failure to pass the driving test&#8230; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I failed my test first time, thinking that the best way to overtake vehicles was to zip in and out of traffic like I was in some car chase like the ones you see in the movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My biggest influence was the James Bond movies, but on reflection I can see why I should probably have taken more lessons first.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>9. The engine sounded funny \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>One learner driver gave a great excuse for failing a driving test in a manual car&#8230; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I failed the test in a manual car and switched to an automatic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reason I gave for doing this was that my parents only drove automatic cars and I was not used to the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsound\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfeel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of gears changing in the manual car.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>10. If all other excuses fail, blame dad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Many of you who have failed your driving test have blamed it on dad saying that he was your instructor, when in reality you just didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have an excuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve failed your driving test and given a really bizarre excuse for failing, let us know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alternatively, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve failed your driving test, book it with us.
