Title: Well, I failed my road test!
Post by: Selkie on June 30, 2008, 09:26:23 AM
Yes! Fucking AWESOME now I have to wait until August to take it again, and ill probably fail again anyway!!!!!

Apparently I did a rolling stop at every stop sign, was too far from the car in front of me during my parallel park, and was too far from the curb during my k turn.

Dude . . . driving is really common sense and should be second nature. You messed up on the simple stuff, too.

Edit:

Then again, a lot of NY test proctors can be pricks.

I was too busy trying to be smooth and just totally fucking forgot about stopping completely.

And the shit with the parallel parking and k turn is bullshit I was close to both the car and the curb, and since when is it a bad thing to be cautious.

It's more about efficiency; speed + safety (obviously not too fast).

That sucks. :(


Hopefully though you'll be able to do better in August.

The manual won't help you do shit.

Studying a book is a lot more different then driving.

I failed my test the first time because I didn't use a left turn lane. :|

Sucks man, maybe next time. But why do they make you wait so long to take it? Here they only make like 6 days.

Then again driving in Florida is too easy. Kinda makes me wonder if I'll be able to drive properly in other states.  >.<

it's about fuel efficiency, you should never drive more than 55

but shit like stopping completely at stop signs with no one around is stupid
I meant strictly for the test because I completely agree with your second comment.

I passed my first time... I spent about an hour before the test practicing parallel parking so I could do it properly.  Everything else is cake, in my opinion.

Driving really is all about common sense, once you are familiarized with the basics. I passed the first time even though I ran a yellow because I apparently did everything else flawlessly.
