Hey everyone, I recently just failed my N test due to a careless mistake. I had 2 demerits throughout the test and one dangerous action. One demerit was for parking too far from the curb which didn't really bother me cause I fixed that on the other 3 parking by the curb and the other one was for not knowing the right of way. I should've turned but I stopped and checked for traffic just in case.
Anyways, throughout the road test, I went from being nervous to calm back to being nervous. This is what threw me off. At the end of the test, I was 5 blocks away from ICBC when I ran a stop sign in a small residential area. The examiner told me to take a left and go straight, this is when I saw a stop sign at the end of the street but not the one closer to me. Needless to say, I ran it and she had to tell me to stop. Other than that, she said my test was fine and I would've passed except for that stop sign.
Now I'm mad for making such a stupid mistake but I know I can retake it in the next 2 weeks. I'm just wondering how often people cancel their tests... The latest appointments are in August, and the one I have booked for now is on August 1st but the earliest I can take it is on May 27th. I'm checking on the website everyday, hoping for someone to cancel. What are the odds of me getting a test within the month? Is it better for me to call back everyday and check online at the same time?
Also, I feel really conflicted because I don't know what to work on besides looking ahead and scanning the roads. My nerves did get me on the test but now I feel confident in my driving abilities and driving independently. Before the test, I guess you could say I was confident in my driving but not driving by myself. I was use to my parents being there to remind me of things on the road but after now that I failed, I'm more confident in myself. I just don't know what I need to improve on to prepare for my next test...
Thanks for the tips!
