1 attempt.
What do you mean forgot the handbrake? As in, left it on before taking off?

Try again and you'll get it. I got mine on my second attempt. I failed my first cause I drove at around 70 km/h into a school zone for around 10 seconds until the supervisor gave me a tap on my shoulder =.=

If it makes you feel better I know someone that failed on the spot for switching on the engine before putting on their seatbelt

I got my P's first shot, though I did get a critical error for stalling the car and I almost got two more:
- One for trying to drive the car at the start of the test when it was still in accessories (the engine wasn't on), but luckily they didn't count that as a critical error
- One for parking next to a fire hydrant post at the end of "stage one", but I realised this just as I was parking, so I moved the car a few metres forward

I know someone who did almost the whole test and passed, but as he was driving in vicroads, he went above the 20km/h car park speed limit, so he failed just a few seconds before the test was going to be over.

Which vicroads is that at? In the one at the Frankston/Seaford area, the speed limit is 20km/h.

Dandenong I believe.. I think the hardest part of the test is the initial start  ???

One of my cousins had to do a reverse parallel and the other one had to a simple angled parking and a 3 point turn lol.. Worst thing for me is that I'm practicing on an Auto and I'll probably end up doing my test in a manual Toyota Yaris or something. Preferably a smart car or something haha.
