Failed Driving Test On Parallel Parking

I have failed my driving test on the "parallel parking" manoeuvre. The examiner looked 3 times for a suitable spot for the manoeuvre but due to other "learners" parking their cars, she had to settle on this last location.

I was asked to park in a space between a car and the the corner of a "T" junction. The space "was" approx 2 car lengths from the "T" junction with a major road. It was also on a slight incline.

In my opinion I felt it was unfair to make me do such a manoeuvre in what I considered fairly dangerous owing to the proximity of the "T" junction with the main road. Due to cars turning into the road I had to delay many times and although I eventually parked the car in this location she told me 4 attempts to park was far too many. After the test I took my husband to the location in question and he said he would never even attempt to reverse park in such a dangerous spot. He confirmed that there was a substantial gradient too which increased the difficulty of such a manoeuvre. Alas it was only "his" opinion!

Now I know I am so "very disappointed" at present I do intend to take a "second" test as soon as possible but am I wrong in my thinking that making me carry out such a manoeuvre under such circumstances is a "little unfair?"

Thank you for your listening to my little gripe...
