Dont forget your mirrors before you signal & after you turn, try & stay calm even if you think you've made a mistake, to you it might seem major but if you dont let it effect the way you carry on driving the examiner might only mark it down as a minor.

If your not sure of a direction or instruction the examiner has told you ask again & again if you need to, remember the examiner in NOT there to fail you on purpose!

Take your time, dont rush think about everything, look & plan well ahead in advance!

Good luck

Sorry to hear that but mirror checks are VERY important!

Why have you got to wait until 11th may to have another go?
