I have failed twice in the road test, although I have got a driver license in China. The first reason I failed was that I was not a skilled driver, because I didn't drive a lot in China and in the US either. The first time I went to the road test was just one month after I purchased a car, so basically, I didn't practice a lot. The second reason was that I didn't pay enough attention to the nuances between Chinese and American traffic rules. Most of them are similar, but we don't have stop signs in China, so I was really not used to it, and the examiner thought I was too tentative. The third reason, which bedeviled me most was that I was prone to being anxious and tense. A bunch of friends believed that I must be able to pass the road test, because in daily life I could drive proficiently, but who knew what my feeling was in the test. I was so afraid of making mistakes, especially when I failed the first try, I became more scared next time.
Tomorrow will be my third time to take a road test, I kind of believe that after the failures, I have already understood the correct way to pass it as long as I don't panic even I run into some unexpected situations. I have rehearsed several times in my mind about the process of the road test to make sure that even if I will be nervous tomorrow, those actions were imprinted in the muscle so I can do it spontaneously.
Anyway, good luck to me! It's no big deal if I fail, I will keep going!
