I failed again

I dont think they just want to fail you its just that you didnt also assess your effort objectively.

I have recently failed my driving test for the second time, and I would like to raise a concern regarding the consistency and transparency of the evaluation process.

During the test, I was given feedback that I did not stop at a stop line. However, I am confident that I did come to a complete stop and waited briefly before continuing, as the road was completely empty.

I was also told that I was driving too slowly in a 40 km/h zone, even though I was trying to be cautious due to residential surroundings and potential pedestrians.

In another situation, I was told that I should have waited at a roundabout, even though there were no immediate vehicles and the approaching car was at a safe distance.

These examples give me the impression that expectations may vary depending on the examiner, which creates uncertainty for candidates.

Additionally, as a non-Swedish speaker, I am concerned that communication and interpretation may affect the outcome of the test.

The process is also very costly, and repeated failures without clear, objective criteria can be discouraging.

I would appreciate more clarity on how candidates are evaluated and whether there are standardized guidelines to ensure fairness and consistency for all applicants.

Nah, just accept that you are evaluated by humans and human factor is basically a gamble. There is no way to make it standard as there are no standard situations on the road as well, it is always a new and you have to figure out.

My hint is to do what I did: repeat the instruction. It feels strange but trust me, make it so much easier to understand each other. So basically:

- I want you turn right at the next light.

- Next light. Right.

...

- Follow this white car, turn right here.

- Follow white car. Right.

I think there are some people from Trafikverket who writes against people’s comments. You guys even are not neutral at this site. Trafikverket just at least leave this arena for the exam takers.

And for this reason the driving tests should always be recorded from start to finish and the recording kept for three months.

Reverse extreme wide angle camera into the car, and wide angle forward. And with reasonable audio of course.

There is absolutely no excuse to not do it since 20 years or so. The equipment to do it has been low-cost since then.

It would not only safeguard the driver prospects from misjudgement and a true opportunity to contest, but would provide the examiner with legal proof as well in case of bribe attempts or threats.

The fact that is not being done in 2026 at the very least makes me lean toward conspiratory thoughts in the matter.

I absolutely agree ob racisum and also the internal hand-shake between the Examiner and Traffic schools. It seems that we want to sepnd thgousands for driving witrh driving school make tgem reach with our hard earned money. They are allowing foriegners to drive 1 year temporaryly with international driving license even if they are NOn-EU citizens, this not safety risk for them.

If they need money than just ask upfront and start selling the license for cost.

Such a shame... big shame on sweden trafikverket.
