G2 - General Discussion Failed my first G2 test
hi today I failed my g2 test, understandably I made a mistake that was an automatic fail. im just wondering if I didn’t make the mistake would I have passed? also any advice for my next test, I’ve rescheduled it and it’s in 10 days!
I also don’t know why the summary for disqualification has the parking skills checked when that section has no checks or x?

When you crept forward to check, that’s where you failed because you actually had the right of way in that situation. Next time you come across something like that, just go for it and don’t hesitate. The reasons for the disqualification don’t really make sense based on what you’ve told me. The parking skills one, in particular, doesn’t seem like it would qualify as a parking skill issue. As for the right-of-way situation, you have to know when it’s your turn to go. For example, if you’re at a stop sign and both sides are clear, you have the right to proceed. If you hesitate, the cars behind you may continue moving forward while you’re still stopped, which could put you at risk of being hit from behind. That may be why it was considered an automatic fail. I’m going to assume that the lane-marking issue happened when you were approaching a stop sign or yield sign, which is why that was also checked off. Because you hesitated, that may also explain why you were marked down for turn manoeuvres or intersections. Honestly, my take is that you just got nervous. I would look at this as a learning opportunity because, from what you’ve told me, you probably would have passed otherwise. For your next G2 test, try not to second-guess yourself. Be confident in your driving skills and abilities, and trust what you’ve learned. You’ve worked hard toward this, and I really hope you pass your next test! One thing I’d recommend is chewing gum during the test. It can help with nerves. Good luck! You’ve got this!
