Failed My Driving Test for the 2nd Time!

[whipwrecker]

Didn't need a license until I was like 22-23 (NYC lol) and needed a valid one for a job I was applying to. Scheduled my road test and took five lessons over the 2 weeks prior to the test. I was nervous going there, but once it started I was fine. It went perfect, I didn't even accrue any points. All you have to do for the test is mimic how the elderly drive: slow and cautious. You can go to fast, or be reckless, or make excessive maneuvers, but rarely are you penalized for going too slow (unless you aren't hitting the gas) and are paying attention and following their instructions.

Most of the time people fail not because they don't know how to properly handle a vehicle, but because they are extremely nervous.

Reschedule another test and calm down this time, go at a leisurely pace (imagine the speed you'd cruise past a girl in very short shorts...unless you're the type to come to a complete stop at the sight of a nice booty, then scratch that) and exaggerate your head movements even if your peripheral vision will suffice.

Getting a license is incredibly easy. Too easy. Only needing a 70 to pass is such a joke. Too many bad drivers on the road.

Zero sympathy from me OP. Learn to drive/park and this wont be an issue.

completely agree
too many people on the road who don't know what they are doing

I guess I'm sensitive to the subject since I did fail twice but I disagree. On the way to the test site, my instructor told me there's one lady who always fails his students. I drove absolutely fine, very cautious & carefully. And as I mentioned before, I was at a stop sign and started rolling forward because I saw no cars (I couldn't see much to my right because of a high fence). So as I rolled forward, she slammed the breaks and failed me on the spot. Her reasoning was not anticipating traffic. I was like that's why I was rolling forward and not slamming the gas.

Second time was more BS. I was going 20 MPH in local roads and I failed because she thought I was going too fast and said my turns were wide.

Oddly enough, a month later, in which I hadn't taken any lessons, or driven at all in 2 months, I had a guy as the proctor and I passed without accruing any points.

So sometimes it's not the driver's fault. (Some of) Those proctors are some real douchebags.

Yea i feel like alot of it is the instructors fault but honestly you really cant blame them. These people have to instruct alot of people on a day to day basis and i know after a while all the mistakes people make get to you mentally and you start getting upset over nothing.

I failed twice:
1st time i had went during the weekend and had no intention of taking the test since the place was suppose to close at noon and i wouldnt have enough time. I was wrong and they called my number up. I wasnt prepared
The second time i failed at the reverse parking section by hitting a cone, before i even got that portion i had to parallel park which i had only done like once before the test and couldnt do that.

3rd times the charm, you'll get it next time OP

I've had my license for 4 years and not once in my life have i ever parallel parked, passed my first try too maybe I was just lucky

, I asked my dad to teach me before the test, he was all it's easy just do it

, though I didn't have to do it during the test so it worked out

Also my dad was so tough on me when teaching me, I wasn't even nervous during the test

Both times on the parallel parking. The first time, "I didn't head check enough"- Remind you, this is a closed course..

Today, the sensors in the car went off, to alert me of being too close to the cones, so I failed. I felt like he cut a minute off from my time too.

The thing is I can drive, I drive just about everyday.

  In MO, we test on the busy streets........It does seem pretty stupid to head check on a closed course.  Like....The hell you lookin at doggie?

i failed the permit test by 1 my first time....but i passed the driving my first time..only lost 4 points

but you'll get thru it op. just try your best to pretend its not a closed course
