As you know, the skills of driving are gained through experience. I've been driving for almost 40 years, holding licenses from three other countries. It's all about; did I check left and right at every required spot? Did I put my directional signals on at EXACTLY 30 meters before making a turn (not 25m nor 35m... I will walk the track before the test and actually measure the location for each signal...) Did I look left and then right, or did I look right and then left? For my motorcycle license I was required to put the kickstand up with my right foot, not my left foot... and look over my right shoulder before I straddled the bike. It will be the same sort of attention to details for the car test. I anticipate that it will take me at least 4-5 attempts before I satisfy the Proctors. NO ONE HAS EVER PASSED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. EVER.

Those Japanese fellows are all about exact details, aren't they? I wish you best of luck. May you pass on the second attempt
