Same with my instructor... Thank fook there was never a chance in the proper test 
You should have gone through emergency stopping with your instructor, fair do's it might be a rare occurrence in exams but not something worth leaving to chance...
Get a new insturctor

they will just tell you to pull over, and then pull out again to make sure you check all of your blind spots. they did this to me 3 times on my test to try and catch me out.

ain't getting at you m8 - but loads of ppl fail first time - i did and probs half ppl on here did - all good practice anyway for next time - u'll be reet just keep ringin up for cancellations u'll have a retest with a few weeks and thn u'll pass no prbs  just bad luck this time tht's all 
not actually 100% true, i passed my test in a micra haha (first time) and locked up on the emergency brake - recovered though. the car did have abs, the light came on at pos two of ignition and went off when driving

i failed twice mate, know how you feel, secodn time felt like decking the examiner coz his reasons for failing were bollox such as "lost the rear end on a rounabout" never mind, all you can do is re-book and get plenty of practice in inbetween, best of luck for next time

Not checking blind spots is a stupid thing to fail on
i know it was stupid, but i know for next time now.My instructor never even went through the emergency stop with me because " its very rare they test you on it" he should of told me anyway.I never got the impression an emergency stop had to be so quick.Now i know.
Key word there somewhere 
I passed first tiume with 5 miors  and I did my emergency stop
I passed first time with 7 minors.. but din hav to do my emegency stop; i cud do it tho, practiced it loads

Was my first test.Had an ex bobby examining me.He was a right asshole
Got 3 majors for silly things
1.going 43 in a 60.
2. stopping too slowly on an emergency break
3.not doing blind spot checks.
Did everything else down to a tea, apart from just barely cutting a corner( and i mean barely) minior for that, and a few other minors for extremely MINOR things.
Very disapointed in myself though.Nothing worse than having a car, but not being able to drive it
Plus thats £40 quid down the drain.
lol, the pig said to be afderwards "have you got a sister?" i answed yes. "if your sister ran out in front then we would of gone stright into her as you did not break fast enough" blah blah blah.Of course i would have broke harder, its just i did not wont to over do it on my test and lock the wheels.Wot a tit.Goverment must make loads of doh from this.
I was under the impression the speed limit for a learner and "R" driver was 45mph anyway regardless of what speed limit is on the road (Unless of course your in a 30 or 40 zone!)
Did i miss something in the news since i got my test 7 years ago?!
