I took my test the other day and got one serious because, the route we took back to the test centre consisted of dual-carriage way 'motorways'. I was turning left on an empty roundabout on one of these 'motorways', I pulled out, and per chance I looked into the rearview mirror to see a car breaking rapidly behind me. This car had appeared out of nowhere, I'm assuming he'd come from further round the roundabout, and I know the roundabout was empty when I'd pulled out because I'd had to stop there to allow other cars to pass.
When I got back to the test centre, the examiner said I'd failed because of this incident, because that driver had to slow down for me, despite me going at 30mph+ at that point, bearing in mind I had just left the roundabout, my driving instructor always said to aim for 30mph on these national speed limit roundabouts because it's the safest speed (not too fast to lose control due to turning and not to slow for other drivers).
I'm a bit peeved that I was failed for another driver speeding, and that I'll have to fork over another £60 for the driving test and however much for lessons in between now and the test.
