They thought they'd failed

Maya, 19 — Manchester

I clipped the kerb very lightly pulling up on the left and thought I'd ruined everything. My legs were shaking after it. I kept driving normally and passed with 4 minors.

Aisha, 22 — Leeds

Third attempt. I cried in the car park before the test and nearly cancelled. Halfway through I missed a mirror check and panicked, but I reset myself and kept focused. Passed with 7 minors.

Daniel, 31 — Glasgow

I took a junction too slowly because my nerves were bad and got a minor for hesitation. I thought that meant I'd failed. The examiner said my driving stayed safe and calm the whole test. Passed.
