Unhappy My driving test

I've taken my driving test for car and motorcycle last week. For the car test, I pass with flying colors and even got an A for my parking.

When it comes to the motorcycle test, I failed on the second course circuit (It's a 2 section test). I felt miserable and devastated. I came today too for repeat test and I was the first contestant. I don't know what's wrong with me, my driving seems to be lot worse than last week! I bump on the road dividers, my bike wasn't smooth moving and I almost fell off the bike on the sharp turn.
I felt like so down I think it's riddiculous because I practise a lot on the bike course but when it comes on test day I screw up so bad, what is wrong with me? Honestly maybe because the day before I got presentations and project all day so I might be exhausted.

I had very little training on car but it turn out well.Sometimes life seem to be so unfair lol.

But I believe when I fall I need to get back up. It's hard, I felt like a loser already but I won't give up.

I'm gonna go for for next week test on 4th October, wish me luck. And they say three times a charm (lol I wish)*sigh*

I had my bike licence for two years before my car one. Really is the best mode of transport- even if it is a trifle dangerous. Keep persevering, you'll be right

There is nothing wrong with you!

I do the same thing, practice and such and then on test day, blow it.

But no worries my dear, you'll get! Good Luck!

It's all nerves, it took me three goes to pass my driving test due to be scared! Don't worry about it, it doesn't mean you're a bad driver or anything.

Maybe you were just too stressed. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it soon.

don't give up, if you give up everytime you go there you will do worse!
just try to relax, you will do it! still you already have car's license so don't worry!
the best thing to do is to relax and you'll see that everything will work great
good luck

I'm 20 and still haven't had one driving lesson, for a mixture of reasons I suppose. I never tend to really travel that far away which would compliment me having to drive. I really don't mind using public transport either, it's just a hell of alot cheaper than learning to drive, buying a car and then insuring it.

Also, I can't see myself being a very good driver. I have enough trouble walking across a road, never mind driving on one.

One day I will learn, probably when I have tons of money to pay for the enormous amount of lessons i'll probably need.

Maybe you're too stressed out, if you've tried to take them both in one week. Just give it some time, and you'll get it right eventually.
