Failing experience no.1
I woke up at 6am. my driving test was at 11
I could not sleep, I was so energetic that I could drive a truck ( yeah right)
to 9:45 I was trying to speed up time.
at 10 I had my last driving lesson and I WAS almost a professional driver.
at 11:00 I had a very bad stomachache.
at 11:10 they start calling an Indian name which almost like the pronunciation of my name. it made me nervous and the fear attacked my bones. ( I was not nervous before, I was so cool drinking juice, chewing gum, smiling to tensed people)
at 11:15 they called my name to the test
15 minutes late .. the most nerve raking 15 minutes ever. the fear shifted to pain starts in my knees and ends in my heart ( ouch 
)
so I got in the car with shaking hands and feet and I was singing in my head: you’re gonna fail ne ne nene ne, you can’t do it la la lala la 
SO,
I made some stupid mistakes I reversed the car completely wrong like I never did before. the car just kept shutting off cause of my messy shaking foot on the clutch. I was felling like hell I wanted to fail, just stop ! I shouldn’t get in the car with a broken spirit.
I could’ve avoid this if :
* I had a different name. I hate my name btw
*I arrived a bit late.
* I did not panic.
* I slowed down and thought before making any move.
* I ate chocolate or anything contains sugar. ( energy and good mood )
* I slept well
many reasons, one failure
If I’m afraid, I’m not read to hit the street YET.
me not sad. me just unhappy 
today I’m 18 years 1month and 1 day old
will I get my driving license before 19 ? I hope so

I, myself was just about to fail. Because of the damn ‘Echo’ ..
You know, nothing wrong with failing. Just don’t get nervous
I remember I was over-stressed because the instructor said he will not continue with me in case of failure, plain shame and I was 6 months late already ..
Once again
eaaaaaaasy easy and don’t get nervous !
GLuck.

Don’t worry, you will eventually pass. It took me almost one year to pass and even when I did it I was not sure if I could drive alone.
Anyway, automatic transmission is better and its really make you enjoy driving.
Good luck next time, have hope !

No worries next time for sure. It was just because of the anxiety.
(I am not that old tara!)
I wish you all the best in the next try.
How many hours are you planning to take?
You reminded me of myself 6 years ago
Regards

When I graduated from school I planned to take my license “awal wa7da ya za3am”
But that wasn’t true, as I became the last one…
About 2.5 years ago, I had my driving lessons… & even though I wasn’t scared at the exam, I failed because of that going in reverse test, & like you exactly, it was my first to do a mistake in that!
Just an advice… Don’t delay it & begin searching for a trainer from now. This is what made me have my second driving test 1.5 years later…
I just got my license 5 months ago. And honestly they go much easier on you on the second test.
But train bnafsech after you get it :-P Broo7i 6agait 2 cars after I got the license while going in reverse :-D
Good luck!!!

hi
my big problem is that stupid manual transmission !
why do they train us with it ? are we going to drive a pickup :p
yes I’m suffering with this trainer thing
I hope I can find 1 soon

Tara I’ve heard that now they’ve started giving people a choice, whether you want the manual or automatic transmission.
I’m not sure though, & even if it’s true, I don’t know if it’s applied on someone who’s had an exam before.
You could ask about it!
& I hope you find one too
Meskeen my brother came to Bahrain for more than a month with the hope to start training, but he didn’t even find a trainer, & he went back yesterday.
Yallah, God help you!
