Sorry to hear about the test (and how did I not realize that you lived in the UK before!)!
I lived in London for a couple years with Brit hubby and never even got the guts to TRY the test! You'll do it. Hubs says almost everyone fails at least once. Thus all his bragging about passing the first time!
It really is a VERY difficult driving test to pass. You have to drive like a little old lady to pass; spending 30% of your time looking in your mirrors, putting your handbrake on whenever coming to a stop sign, remembering every one of a billion little things that my instructor said would get me failed...it's nuts.
That said, I understand that the UK is a small island and they don't want any more drivers than humanly necessary on it. But it doesn't mean that the test doesn't blow!
30-something mom, living and working in the UK. While the "Prawn" wrecks havoc with her toddler ways, I prepare for the arrival of the "Squid" in early 2010. Experienced member of the pregnancy loss club, so am ridiculously grateful.

Yeah, but he wasn't battling nausea, right? :)
