I’m ashamed to say I failed in subject Ⅲ of driving test today. Before taking this test, I sensed that I have not confidence in it, but the coach encouraged me to take a test and he said I couldn’t avoid it but must be faced with it.
The problem is that I have practiced many times and my performance is nice, but I made silly mistakes during the test. such mistakes I couldn’t made before, especially when the finishing line is in front of me, but I couldn’t reach it. Why can’t I pass it for the first time like others? Once I failed it for the first time, this result did have a bad influence on me. So the second time I became more prudent and more nervous, I knew those were bad for me but I didn’t know how to control my action. Actually, I recalled all details and each step to make myself memorize all things and not to forget any detail. While I was driving the car on the road, I got butterflies in my stomach. When I came to the crossing and stopped to wait for the front car to leave, I seemed to be more nervous. When the front car was leaving, I started my car at once, but there was another car coming near, so I had to bake then my car didn’t work. If I had looked around, I would have waited longer until that truck passed the crossing.
For me, each time I took the driving test, I knew I just tested my mental quality. What bothers me is that I want to develop strong mental qualities to deal with some complex situation. In order to get the driving license, I spent plenty of time on it and I didn’t want to put off the day when I get the driving license.
However, in reality, it seems that I should continue to spend more time and money on it. On the other hand, I mind about what others think of me, so I’m always eager to get that license soon. That seems very ridiculous ah, because I didn’t make a good impress on them before. Each time I fail in a test, you can image how disappointed I am. But such horrible situation can influence my sleep so that I can’t fall asleep all night, thinking about why I can’t make it. So there is no doubt that I need to get rid of those selfish ideas and personal considerations but I have no idea to face the next test with a strong and calm mind.

- The problem is not in your driving skills or your ability to drive. The problem is in your anxiety and inability to relax. In fact, this is quite common. I have a friend who failed 12 times then passed. Only after getting the licence then she realized that she failed so many times due to nervousness.
Driving test is not a matter of life of death, so why be so tense? What you have to do is to calm down. When you take the test few times, you would be more familiar and can be relaxed. Take the test again until you pass. Eventually you would have clear road conditions and you would pass the test.
When I took my driving test, my instructor was a angry man and made me so nervous, so I also failed and then passed later.
Just try to calm down and relax at your next driving test. You can do it and pass. Best of luck to you.

- The reason is that you just start to learn how to drive. Supposing that you drive a car everyday soon you will find it easy. That is what we always say Practice Makes Perfect.
Mostly we just can not perform well because we are deficient to exercises. That is the basic reason. As in we can not operate well in a computer when we first to learn in the class.
Human beings have the mind of precaution in everything, we are afraid to be humiliated and act like a fool. Meanwhile we are with desire of exploration about how things around work.
This could be part of your experience that you can learn from. Good luck.
