Nah don't be worried about it. I failed due to my own incompetence of the rules of the road. Make everything retardedly obvious, Like 360 checks and Scan every sideroad/intersection/railway crossing. Know how to enter cul de sacs too.

In richmond, you're almost guaranteed to encounter an intersection with a "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED" sign right above the intersection. You must obey!

You must've been right. Got a pretty chill examiner but he refused to talk during the test causing me to go nervous. Missed a signal while pulling out, forgot to shoulder check at 1 right turn and rolled one stop sign.

Parking lot was full when we got back so didnt even have me reverse stall park

All good though. Wahoooooooo

I hear it is really common for people to fail because of that, best of luck next time. Honestly when I did my N test I had no idea about it until I went to riding school and they drilled that into my head. Guess I was lucky I didn't go into any of those.
