Did You Pass Your Drivers Test the First Time?

No. I didn't even do it on the second try. In my case, the third time's a charm. Here's a little hint for anybody trying to pass their test on the first try (yeah right, like anybody's reading this topic this far back ha ha): Don't learn to parallel park in a Ford Crown Victoria that is the size of the Titanic. I failed the test both times out of the gate because the car, literally, would have only cleared the driving cones by inches if done perfectly. Once I took my driving test in a tiny little Ford Contour, I passed with flying colors!

nope, whats worst ive wrecked it..

I thought there was no way I was going to pass it the first time. But the lady passed me! I was also 19 instead of 16 when i took it.

i passed on the first go! the only mistake i made was my reverse park. I was to far out from the gutter!

I did pass in my drivers test which I took for the first time. That was my first and the last time to take the test. I find that it's not that difficult to get pass, the main thing which I always did during the test was concentrate on the road. I am very happy to know that I pass the test while the other friends have to take it twice before they get pass. My friend said she always nervous when driving, which for me is the reason why we can't concentrate on the road.

Did I pass my driver's test the first time? No I did not. How many times did it take me to pass the test? It took me five times to take that durned test. The first two times I took it, the instructor had a personality that I liked. She was sweet and patient with me. Once, I had an instructor that practically would bark the instructions at me. I guess it was her personality that made me not like her very much. I know they have to be strict, but she was a little TOO strict! I have a generalized anxiety disorder, where I have panic attacks and I had to start taking medication for that. I always take my medicine at night, but the day that I passed the test, I took another one to keep me relaxed and didn't drink any caffeine, and I passed the test. Boy, was I relieved! My mother let me drive us home, and she even let me drive to the church that same night for visitation. I was one happy nineteen-year-old that day. Yes I was nineteen when I passed the driver's test. It took me longer because of my nerves.

Hi courtlynne77. Actually, I did pass my driver's test the first time. I was very nervous about the parking part; especially the parallel parking. When the tester finally asked me to parallel park, I began to sweat. I pulled up beside the car that was already parked and surprised myself by just backing right in. One try! I have never tried it since. I will also go around the block just so I won't have to cross traffic! Thanks for this post.

Yes I did.....

I passed it the first time even though i got quite a few points marked off. I got points off for not using a turn signal when doing a 3 point turn. Who ever does that lol.

I wish i can, but also took it twice in order to pass.

yes I passed my driving test the first time :)

yes n i hav licence

Nope. I got a 100% on the written only to run a stop sign in the actual driving part. How embarressing!

I failed both the written and drivers test - this was back in 1977 and 1978. The good old days. Bonnie

Yes, I passed it the first time. Tests have never been a problem for me. Since that time I've tutored a lot of young people who were studying to take the test, and I know a lot of them had to take it several times before they passed. And once you have your license, it doesn't matter how many times you took the test.

Yes, I did it the first time, I drove with a temporary pre-license for 2 months before taking the test (the instructor was on holiday).

I passed my driver licence with the first time!and not to say because of myself..but if you can drive in Greece you can drive everywhere~!!!!!

Not me! I had to take it twice as well!

I never past my Drivers License. I don't have the money for it :P

Hi Courtlynn77, Interesting question! Yes, I passed the first time. Of course, I had a brother who would have teased me mercilessly had I not. So, the pressure was a real motivator. Having taken Driver's Ed was a huge help. And, most of my training was in an old full sized pick-up truck with a great instructor -- my father who had the patience of Job.
