Driving test
I had my driving test today. Full of confidence, and it went fine. Not a problem.
Got back to the test centre and awaited my results. Failed. WTF!? "Would you like me to explain the report?", "Too damn right I do".
Short of it, I don't use mirrors. I can drive fine, but I spend too much time looking at things in front of me instead of what's behind me. Who cares? Somebody goes up my arse it's their fault.
I was a bit gutted though, as I know I did use my mirrors excessively. It was my worry, but for 30 minutes I checked them everytime I twitched, or even thought about twitching.
My instructor says it's a common problem with tall people who sit far back. They don't need to move their head a lot to see, and even if they do the examiner is sitting in front of them so they don't notice. That what makes me bitter. It's not my fault I'm tall. There was also the intersting point that the examiner had to leave his last test centre because he was no good! Luck of the draw I suppose. I have to wait a couple of weeks again now before I can take it again.
I think horse blinkers are in call. So I have to move my head around to see something which is in my field of view anyway.
Pfft, who wants to drive anyway? It only costs.
