Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

I was told by one of my instructors that I had a lead foot, and that was just from going two to five miles per hour over the limit. It's just painful to go that speed sometimes.

Yeah...it really is painful to go the speed limit sometimes, but he should have been able to do it for 5 minutes. = /

Funny video though.

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

thanks all ^_^. Yeha here in cali theres 1 written test with 40 questions and that includes signs, measurements, parking stuff, the works. THen theres the actual driving test itself with an instructor.
The instructor I had for the first time when i failed said I was constantly going over the speed limit by 5 - 7 miles/hour and it was unnecessary. Then he marked me down for going 40 on a 25 mile zone but the thing is the 25 mile zone was only for when school was in. I think i will take jewpins advice for the next test

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

I'm in Michigan. I take my test on saturday. I think I will do fine. The only thing I am worried about is parallel parking. I am defintally not too great at that. After I take my test, I have to go to the secretary of state office to get my license, but they close at 5. I get out of work at 5. So I think I may have to take Monday off.

Parallel parking was my stong point.

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

As in, there's no parallel parking in your state or no requirement to parallel park to get a license?

If it's the former, I'll call you a liar. If it's the latter, I'll wonder why any school would let someone drive if they couldn't park.

yeah no requirement to do it here in cali. we just have to park by making a right / left turn in between 2 cars. parallel is much harder.

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

Well Ok people I took the test and unfortunately for me I failed. Right as we were starting I had to make a left turn into a narrow lane where there were parked cars. As I was making a turn, an old man in a really old Lexus cut in front of me from a blind spot I had on my left and nearly clipped me. I saw him approaching and stopped but the driving instructor reached and pressed the horn for me. I completed my left turn and the instructor said, " Robert, Robert, Robert..." and then told me to make a left turn and circle back into the DMV. He said that " I had given up before the test had even started" and "that I didnt bring a good attitude with me". He then proceeded to tell me that I was endangering everyones lives by not driving carefully and other nonsensical bull **** like that. All in all, I think its really ****ed up that i have to take this bull**** again and that I failed 1 minute into the test. * Sigh *

Do you drive all that often with your parents? Because honestly, 2 hours of just driving around town will really help improve your driving skills. It's all about practice. It's one thing to know the rules, it's another thing to actually know how to utilize your knowledge under pressure.

For Ohio, there was no parallel parking. We did however have to do this maneuverability test. Looked like this: "l" represents a cone.

_____l

l_________ l


l__________l

Basically all you had to do was drive up to the top cone(have the back wheel lined up with it) and then reverse back to the original spot.

EDIT: Sorry about that Cougar. That's a bummer.

Re: Taking my Driver License Test Friday!

Sucks about the test man. My mate failed his test too for something like that. He mainly failed though for shouting at the guy. The examiner turned to him at the end and said something like "I think you could of handled that situation a bit more skilfully but calling him an F-ing old c**t didn't work in your favour". Better luck next time anyway man, hopefully you'll be a bit more lucky with the other drivers on the road. Oh and what Jewpin said is true, practice with your feds a lot, a lot of driving is being road wise as well. Which comes with practice and experience. I remember the first twat I came across on the road and I panicked, my instructor had to grab the wheel and brake for me. It'll come though man, don't worry about that.
