Anyone had any really bad or embarressing moments while learning???

My top two were, forgetting to brake and crashing into the side of some womens car.... despite my mum shouting at me to break i just couldnt. I passed the next day though

Another one was stalling around 6 times on a main roundabout, stalled once because i was to confident then the person behind me started bibbing and that was it, just couldnt move.

first time out i came up to a busy roundabout and was on a bit of a hill so i had to wait and do a hill start, i was there for a couple of minutes waiting for a chance and when it came i did a massive wheel spin just as cops drove past they was staring at me and i was laughing! but then they followed me so i went and stopped at shop until theyd gone

I thought you were supposed to start the car in neutral on driving tests. I got told off for starting it in first with the clutch down.

Mine came during my test was coming up to a roundabout examiner told me to take the next left which led up the main street i for some reason took the very next left which was a slip road leading into safeways carpark, the examiner just kept saying " i didnt ask you too turn in here" x 4 or 5 times.

My old driving instructor now uses that roundabout for his mock tests so people wont do what i did if it comes up on test

i was once in me instructors car driving down a road and went to stop at a junction but missed the break and went into the middle of the road not to far like, so i was like just tryin to sort it out and then my instructor (right evil little bastard) starts giving it " what the f*ck u doing, your going to f"ucking kill us, f*uck f*uck ect and reallly shoutin at me, safe to say i changed driving instructors after that, little stupid person, wouldnt u think instructors would be calm in situations like that

When i done my LGV i was about 3" away from parking the lorry in the ditch. Fancy taking me down a country lane about 2 feet wider than the lorry to meet another learner LGV driver coming the other way. It put my reversing skills to the test.

lol, wasn't my fault really. parked cars in my lane, so i indicated and used mirrors. and i thought this bus was letting me go, but instead he decided to accelerate and bump his horn at me when i moved out in front of him. Wasn't that close at all really, but the examiner got shit up, especaiily when i starting swearing cos of it! so he pulled me over and wasnt quite sure what to do, he put a major or woteva they called down on the sheet, so i threw a strop and he said rite im not letting you carry on this test! i was like good no point is there! anyways, since then i've had a severe hate of bus drivers and i'd say once a week i have an incident involving a bus, i enjoy pissing them cocky drivers off.
