Failed on first try

Took my first drive test today and failed. Took it in familiar town of Kristianstad
The main reason being not slowing enough on country road I was going between 55-65 on a 70 apparently wanted me to go slower. Otherwise said I had good control of the car and knew how to drive.

I took a lesson with traffiko before and the instructor was terrible going all bad advice, he had said to always keep the high speed even when driving in city with multiple unprotected cross walks in a row. He kept getting annoyed when I slowed down to look. ( Kemal Y in solna Stockholm )

I have it rebooked for two days from now but it’s very frustrating

You’ll absolutely be failed for driving too aggressively inside the city.


Had I magic wand, I’d forbid buildings with square corners that’s by an intersection/crosswalk.


Not sure what the country road thing was about. Do have some 70 km/h dirt roads near where I live though. Can honestly say I’ve barely gone above 50 km/h under the best conditions. Roads are smaller, you’re encouraged to stay towards the middle, and you never know when a tractor or big truck will suddenly appear when taking a corner. Had a pair of deers jumping/materializing right in front of the car once. Terrifying.


But if it was an asphalt road. Could be bad sightlines. Or the area was inhabited. Was there a wild animal crossing sign anywhere near?

The country road was fairly open, the inspector had me pull over and then do an emergent braking on this road as well so visibility was not obstructed.

The road had no animal or other warning signs to suggest lowering speed significantly. There was a couple of houses on the road.

I am confident that’ll I’ll pass on next go around however I’ve seen that others have failed for going to slow on country roads so
