Failed driving test

Failed driving test... sian... lady luck not on my side yesterday. firstly, waited at wrong place for warm-up, thus about 5 mins late. My warm-up vehicle also came back late. Did warm up at circuit first, quite smooth except for vertical parking, i position the car too much to the right. still manage to get in w/o hitting points but a bit nearer to the left. not much time left after i have done the circuit. For road, i only go thru' 1 round before going back to centre. Went to the room for balloting. Was terribly nervous at that moment. When my name was called, i drew from the box and ballot the test route for other candidates. I didn't get into my mind which test route i was going. i wanted to ask the traffic police but afraid that i would get hammered by them for not paying attention. Anyway, i thot the test route number not that important cos i didnt really know all the test routes well and tester may also change the route depending on traffic condition.

It was a malay tester who took me. I don't have to start the engine cos the key was inside the car. Seeking the advice from the instructor on sun to do it slowly, i did well for circuit, except for reversing up the ramp, the left wheel didnt go up so have to reverse and do it.

After that, went out to do test route. need to turn right at gate but instruction was given so early that i turn right towards the petrol kiosk instead. oops, i apologised. Did a lot of turn right and turn left at traffic. Traffic seems ok initially. Till after turning right, i need to keep left. usu during my training, there are parked vehicles so i would keep to the right to avoid them. this time round, no parked vehicles but there are markings, i wanted to turn left but hesitated so i cnacel signal and continue on the right. Aft the markings, i tried to turn left. i was quick to do it so i also didnt check properly. there are motor bike on my left and bmw on my right. i was stuck in the middle. This mistake becomes my immediate failure. :(

aft tt, still committed some mistakes at junction... in total, incurred 28 demerit points plus one immediate failure.

not in mood to go back school to help up with the P5 ge/non-ge camp. skipped my first day lect at nie.
