I rocked the test! 3 minors woohoo
1. reverse into side street car coming needed indicator to let them know what I was doing
2. observation look around more when reverse into side road
3. observing junction

Don't care a pass is a pass!

Congratulations :D!!

Passing with just 3 minors is pretty amazing... most people I know passed with about 10 minors or more. It took me 3 tests to pass - the first was a disaster with tons of minors and two majors, the second I got just 3 minors, but a major too, and the one I finally passed on, I got 6 minors :).

You're allowed up to a maximum of 15 minors. If you get 16 minors, or any majors, then you fail. I believe that if you get 3 or more minors in the same category, then they become a major and you fail.

Observing a junction - I didn't dog bob enough at all my mirrors ;-) (think those bobble head things that bounce and look at all mirrors -- honestly I do the movements but aren't really looking as that breaks my concentration

The indicator/blinker was not on as I reversed and didn't look directly over my shoulder

Had mine this morning - though I've been driving pretty much every day for the entire year we've been here, I was still really nervous.

My examiner was yer classic stone-faced robot-voiced non-human examiner, who spent the entire test scribbling little notes on his clipboard every time I did anything. I was sure I had failed, because my reverse park (again, something I do literally every day) suddenly went all pear-shaped and I had to abort and start over. Still, amazingly as we pulled into the test centre he uttered those magic words "I'm pleased to tell you you've passed," and all was well with the world.

Wow, thats a load of your mind especially since you were backed into a corner with your year up.

Now you can go back to driving normal ;D
