Day 292 { Fail Again }
Woke up at 5:15 AM This morning going to Okayama city to take the license test again... I must admit that I went, knowing in the back of my mind that I am just probably going to waste my money. I was saying to myself that no matter how expert I drive today, they will still make up some stories and say I fail. So why am I doing this then? Because also in the back of my mind, I think it's a little trick they use for some people who they just target (like me) and make them come over and over until they are satisfied with the amount of times we fail, then eventually give us... I am just of the opinion that if a Japanese person did the same exact thing I did the last time, they would have passed. I am not particularly bitter because my friend's husband, passed it on the second try. However, they are in another prefecture.
Any way, I took the test with a Japanese-American guy.. This was his second go at it... And as predicted, we both failed, and it was the easier of the courses at that. These are the reasons why I failed this time:
1) I turn on the indicator too late, I should have clicked it on only a little before ?????????????????
2) I made a wide left turn once, I should have turned a little more left to the curve ???????
Yes my friends, the examiner guy cited those 2 reasons and said I only needed 5 more points to pass, and I should do my best next time around...He was like saying all these stuff in Japanese while my IC was translating for me... He was like, "oohh my you came soo close this time" .... I simply had a blank stare on my face while nodding my head when he was talking... then my IC was like,"Yes, you were so close" ... I told her that I was not at all impressed, because a fail is a fail, it doesn't matter if it was by 1 or 10...its just a fail... The only other thing I can recall failing 3 times consecutively is the Caribbean Examination Council's (CXC) English Language Exam. Up to this very day I haven't passed CXC English Language... but the one single time I took the General Certificate of Examination (GCE ) English Language Exam which is based in England and more recognised in the world than CXC....The one time I took it I got an 'A'... So I am terrible at Caribbean English but some how fluent in the Queens English... beats me guys....
So yes I failed the driving exam again, based on the 2 reasons I stated above.... I am not 100% disappointed because as I said, I some how knew they were going to fail me. I then went back home on the train then went to bible study in the night...

Interesting story bout the English exams... i know at times we in the Caribbean tend, in developing curricula/exams, to make them harder and more comprehensive that the already established ones... Glad you had the opportunity to do GCE...
