    Default Wah, I failed my road test.

    Shitty! Yes, I'm 26 and have never gotten my license, lol.

    So I've been having lessons forever now...went in for road test today, all confident...and failed within the first minute because I turned right on a red without coming to a complete stop!

    Roar!

    Oh... wow...

    Roar indeed.

    Go back tomorrow, and pack heat.

    Hahaha, also, borrow a really small car if they make you parallel it.

    Many, many people fail on their first driving test, SV. I did, too. It just feels a little more awkward to you because you're an adult, not an overly eager 16-yearold. You'll take it again, and you'll pass.

    LOL!! You have to follow ALL the traffic rules to the point of being anal during the road test. No one really drives like that, but you have to make the conscious effort for the test. I knew a guy who failed his first road test because of the same thing, not stopping completely before a right turn.

    Sorry

    We all screw up sometimes Scarlett. Shit you should have posted something I could have offered some advice. I just got my first US license today myself. I'll be pissed if your driving tutor never taught you that one.

    In general,

    Be polite, no sir/mam, no swearing, and don't bitch at them. Yes I've seen lots of people do this. If you did any of that, try a different DMV if it is available. Some reason I don't think you would do that anyway.

    General rule in the US is to always come to a complete stop at any stop sign or red light, before the white line. Then roll forward because the stop sign is usually too far away from the actual intersection to determine saftey. But you know that now. In actual expereince, this is very rarely done.

    I'm not sure where you are right now, but Canadians if they have the license from back home, can get one in FL with no test. Not so lucky for us Australian/Americans that have never had a US license.

    The Forida tests were much easier than the ones in Melbourne, and it only cost $20 dollars. Melbourne was 150 and I know had to take the Hazard Perceptoin test 2 times.... that computer test was a bugger.

    -I really miss Melbourne's trains, but if you want to get anywhere in america you better have a license and car.

    I failed twice. One time because I was about to sail through a red light (I'm that absent-minded! I passed it in a small town the third time. It's very common to fail at least the first time. I know someone who failed it six times. She can drive. I still can't... I don't think it means all that much. You'll pass it eventually, don't worry. A good bit of it is luck, I think: not happening to do something "normal" but against the rules while you're on the test that particular time, etc.

    (I can parallel park, though: it doesn't seem physically dangerous to self/others, only to the car, so it doesn't stress me, which is the reason why I can't drive... I don't really care if I scratch the car - and never have.)

    Well I'm only 3yrs behind you. I dont have mine either. The reason why I won't go take the test is cause I'm afraid I'll fail the manueverability...you have to parallel park with cones

    HAHAH FUCKIN AWESOME.

    I assume the instructer wasn't a chick?

    Mine was, so when I failed, I flashed a boob, then she told me she had a penis.

    consult krazyjane's employer's personality test. follow the rules to the point of stupidity. 2 hands on the wheel. stop at the exact place of stop sign etc...

    i got minus -10 or -15 points for not looking both ways before driving through intersections.

    weird. i got my license at 16 without even having to take a road test. they just gave us this computer test that had questions like where they show you a picture of a red light followed by:

    What do you do when you see this:

    a) speed up
    b) slow down
    c) STOP
    d) ask your friend who won the game last night

    lol

    I'd just switch the phone off... actually I refuse to answer if I'm driving. Then again, I control the phone it does not control me, and with the US rates, I don't even want to touch it.

    No! Really? My examiner was a guy, but he was a jerk. I tried to talk to him, and was joking around a bit, and he plain old ignored me. And I wore a padded bra and everything!

    They're so strict here...I have to get a 'novice' license for 2 years (not learners....it's the same as a regular license, except I can't have any blood alcohol while driving), then test again in 2 years for my regular license. And this is after having to have my learner's permit for a year!

    I failed my first test because I learned to drive one handed, (no thats not why!). I didn't get a drivers license until I was 22. I learned to drive really in the Army and I always had a radio mike in one hand with the other on the steering wheel. Oh and exagerate all your movements I was told I didn't check the mirrors enough..... so like really turn your head to look in the mirrors.

    Beg borrow or steel one of the new VWs compact car with big windows for parallel parking.

    Have fun!
