I'm taking my driving test for the second time on Tuesday the 25th of this month (aka two days), in my 03 Fiat Punto. Does anyone have any advice on how to have an easier time passing? I almost passed my first time aside from getting a serious fault at a roundabout pulling out in front of a car. It's been two months since then, and I feel I've improved a ton, but is there anything in particular I should know?
Also, for some interesting content, here's a pic of muh ride.

I have my 3rd attempt on the 27th last time I failed for getting 4 minors for driving too near to parked cars, Good luck.
Relax, don't get nervous and don't pull out in front of any cars.

Believe you will pass, and you will. Driving is all a mind game. Be confident, but not too over confident. :v:
Handbrake turns will impress your instructor

As will sick burnouts.
Take your time at junctions and roundabouts if you are unsure, don't drive too slowly or you will get a minor. Drive exactly how you do on your lessons with your instructor which is what I did. You'll pass, best of luck.
Keep calm, don't be nervous because it affects you a lot, same happened with me. The car I was testing in stopped two times with me. Took a deep breath, calmed myself and then I passed. Good luck.
It is time.
If I don't make it back, tell my wife "hello".
soo.. did you pass?! :dance:
Nope.

Apparently I was passing too close to oncoming traffic. At 15mph. On a really narrow road where there was no space to pull in. Fuck the cunts at the DVLA.
:sad: Oh, well... You'll do it next time man. When is your next test?

Sounds like you got a shitty... I don't know the term for those people who ride with you on your test...
I failed my first time because I didn't hold the brake all the time during a red light, I prepared to drive off too early making the car roll slightly before the light turned green.
It sounds like the driving tests in Europe, specifically the UK are a lot more difficult than most places in the US.
Mine was piss easy; I only missed a few points because I failed to use my blinkers when backing into my parallel parking space. Other than that I dominated parallel parking better than everyone else taking the course. I felt like the Stig for a few short moments.

What? My driving teacher never said anything about blinkers when parallel parking....
Are you like supposed to keep the right blinker on while parking or something then? It's only what I assume
Right blinker before you pull up to the space, then pull past and reverse. I just kept it on until it automatically turned itself off.

There there, it happens.
They flunked me the first time aswell, because I didn't see a "turn right only" signal that was 3 meters high and behind a tree.
Also, about your ride: No offense, but its shit. Fiat is shit, and that model is shit. If you clutch never ever fucks up, then you can see yourself as a very lucky man, but mark my words: when that car has to fail, it will fail hard, you will fix it, and then it will fail again, altough a little softer.
