So I went to take my drivers test on August 25th and I get to the area where they test, I pull up to the sign nervous as piss and here is what happens...

"Wow, pretty far from the curb"

Oh, sorry, want me to pull up?

"It's too late now"

*walks over to where my mom is sitting*

"Hey, I sit there"

*Mom gets out, guy gets in*

"I'm having a bad day. I failed four people already. Give me your Permit, insurance, etc... This is your drivers test blah blah....make sure you are ready to drive and start the car"

*adjust mirrors, all that good stuff...start up the car*

"You didn't lock your doors, one of the seven steps before you start up your car"

*writes something on paper*

*I start to drive*

"Take a right out of here, go down the road and take your first left and pull up to that curb and back up past the fence. Don't hit the curb or go past the white line."

*I back up*

"Faster than that! You aren't impressing me with this! Come on!"

*I back up a wee bit faster*

"Fine, perfect, now continue going straight."

*as we are driving*

"What did that sign say? Well, what was it?"

Yield.

"No, the other sign"

Not sure.

"Pay attention then."

*Driving behind a bus*

"Pass the bus"

I'd rather not

"Pass it"

Really, I'm not supposed to.

"Why not. What if the bus broke down, are you gonna sit there all day? What are you gonna do? Not pass it? Come on. "

*blabs on for a while*

"Take a left here."

*I pull out to take the turn and I notice a lady on the other side turning. I wait. She doesn't move, I go to turn, she jets out. I stop. She stops. I wait. She doesn't move. I go to move, right as I turn she jets out again. It's some elderly lady on a cell phone*

"You cut her off, cold turkey. You just cut her off. That's it. She's a cold turkey now because you cut her off."

I waved her on, she didn't move, so I went. I don't see how-

"She has the right away, it doesn't matter."

-=FAIL=-

Come to find out, this guy has a history of being a dick. My brother had him a few years ago for his drivers test and the guy was a jerk to him as well. My mom teaches at a school and I guess this guy failed like half of her students. He's known to fail about 80% - 85% of the people who test and if he does pass you he'll give you an 85 (lowest passing grade). The manager at the DMV was like "Well they aren't supposed to make you nervous, and they aren't supposed to ask you all these questions while your driving" So I filled out a complaint (It won't do any good but it makes me feel better.) And I schedule another test in another town for 9/7/06 at 8:45am.

So I get to the test today, it's another guy (yay!). Here is how the test went.

"Permit and insurance."

*Same stuff as last time, then the guy gets in the car and says*

"This is your drivers test, there are no tricks, if I say take a left or right do so, if I say nothing continue straight. Keep your foot on the break and start up your car. You may proceed."

*I lock my doors, woo. I drive*

"Take a left...take a right...pull up to that curb...three point turn...okay....proceed....left.....now take another left....pull up to that curb and back up for me....Okay, left...etc.."

Well the tests ends and I got an 89. I would have gotten a 94 but I went 25 in a 20, and I guess people 'speeding' in school zones really irks him so he took off a lot of points. I didn't have a problem with that. I saw the sign, and I slowed down, just not enough. Oh well. I passed. Yay! He asked me why I failed and I told him about this guy and he's like "Oh, him. Yeah that sucks. Well you did fine this time, heres your paper."

Thanks, have a good one.

"Your welcome. You too."

tl/dr,lol

remember to hit motorbikes from the side, that way if you keep going you can crush the driver too.

Haha Cold Turkey.

I request Sajn's new title to be Cold Turkey.

Are you able to see the road over your nose?

Yes, it's my gigantic penis that I have problems with. Before it was just a pain, but now I can put it in the passenger seat when I drive.

[QUOTE=Victor Van Dort]"You didn't lock your doors, one of the seven steps before you start up your car"[/QUOTE]

You're supposed to lock your door? Why? If I had an accident I'd really want my door to be unlocked so that I could be rescued more easliy.

One hyphenated word: Auto-locks:D

Supposedly, if you don't lock your doors, it's easier to be car-jacked if you're stopped at an intersection.


Supposedly.

that sux. yeah if I remember correctly I took a driving class as one of the classes in jr. high or high school, I dont remember which. The teacher was cool. he was basically mostly just big on us not coming to a sudden stop and giving the other passengers whiplash. So everyone who passed his class didnt have to take the drivers portion at the DMT and all we had to do was take the written portion. It was pretty simple. Im happy I didnt have to deal with any jerks like the guy you got. That's just rotten luck, sorry Victor, hope you get someone else next time and get your license

Yeah, this way the gun they have pointed at your forehead has to travel through glass first before it kills you for not cooperating.

My grandpa (a firefighter for 27 years) tells EVERYONE not to drive with their doors locked. It makes it much harder to open the doors in a wreck, and sometimes they'll get stuck and jammed, and then they have to get the jaws of life out to rescue you rather than just hammering the door open.

"Why not. What if the bus broke down, are you gonna sit there all day? What are you gonna do? Not pass it? Come on. "

lol what a dumbass

I'd sit there, just to piss. That. Guy. Off.

Chumps, the lot of you.

I never had to take a behind-the-wheel driver's test.

That guy does sound like a *******, though... maybe I should work for the Department of Motor Vehichles.

Read all of it. I did pass it!

WTF? You have to drive for your drivers test? We just have to three point turn, parallel park and back up.

I failed once though, I forgot to put my seatbelt on ><

Where are you from?

This was my driver's test:

3-Point Turn
Instructor gets in
Pull out of the parking lot
Right turn
Right turn
Right turn
Right turn
Pull in to the parking lot
Drop instructor off

A few countries have a similar system, some are even easier (pick a raod, drive it).

I passed my Car test with just 4 minors I think (max 15), silly little errors.
Tried to get a truck licence 5 times and failed everytime, I was unlucky enough to get a guy that seemed to hate me 4 times, he kept adding points on for things I didn't do (he is well known for doing this!!!). The other test I did I had a nice guy but the roads were very busy with parked cars everywhere (including one old lady who stopped near the centre divider on a narrow road when she saw our truck coming!) and I ended up rubbing a curb (instant fail). Needless to say I ran out of money and stopped (At £256 per test).

That sucks, but maybe they should be more hard on people. I mean just getting in a car and making a right turn doesnt really mean youre a good driver.

I would rather be on the road and know that everyone around me at least had to try to pass the drivers test rather than worry about some moron whos test was to drive around a block.

I just got back from trying to take my G1 written test. Yes, apparently 7 pieces of ID including photo ID and one with my signature wasn't enough. Birth certificate, student card, SIN card, Library card, etc. They didn't take it.

So now I have to get my DOCTOR to fill out a form just to TAKE this test. What the hell!

Its probably because you dont exist.

Or they could be worried that someone might try to steal my identidy. I have like, 20 bucks to my name.

I had to provide proof of residence (phone bill), proof of citizenship (birth certificate), and I had to bring my last paycheck stub in for...some...reason.

The problem is, at my age, I don't have many things with my signature on it or proof of residence. They expect everyone to all of a sudden have a job at 16.

Get a paper round and ask your boss to give you a wage slip.

I took the test in a 5speed, not even the instructor could drive 5 speed.

The guy was asking him to do illegal things in the test. That's not being hard, that's being an idiot.

Only problem is that you don't have to re-take the test... so eventually people can become horrible drivers. Which happens often.

Mine too.

I know he was, Im just saying that maybe they SHOULD be hard on grading the person.

My driver's test was easy.

Oh yeah, and I got my license at 16. You lose nr30 gg no re.

My test was not easy or tough really. Just basically what you'd expect of a driver test.

Had me drive down a couple roads, had me take the highway and get off of it and two kinds of parking.

Aced the first time with 93.

Yeah, they probably had him drive all the way across the state. Van is in Rhode Island so I'm sure that probably only took 15 minutes.

>.<

Time to buy a good bicycle.

What?

First time I took mine, I got a 90

I've heard that if you lock your doors, you are less likely to be thrown from the car in an accident, and the chances of being ejected during a crash are higher than the chances of the car catching fire.

It is best to take the driving test in a automatic that's pretty well built on the inside. One time I was told I wasn't driving right because she heard engine trouble... the interior was vibrating. There are more things they can dream up to mark you off for when you are driving manual, like skipping gears supposedly being dangerous.

And I thought that's what safety belts are for...

Heh, my brother curently lives in Equatorial Guinea and there they don't take a test, they buy a license. But if you aren't staying long it can be cheaper to just bribe every cop you come across.
