Failed first permit test because I didn't study. Aced the second time.
Failed first driving test because the parallel parking cones were moved 3 feet closer than they were supposed to be. They had motorcycle tests right before mine and forgot to move the cones back.
Anyway, I didn't find out until I got my license on my second attempt that they were closer than normal. You bet I threw a fit!
Keep in mind, I took my drivers test in a full size high top coversion van with all the windows covered in curtains. I couldn't see a damned thing in that tank... every little bit of space helps in that thing.
