Road Test
So I go today to get my driver's license by taking a road test. I did this about 1 or 2 years ago and I failed the first time. Was a real bummer cause i was driving a 1989 Thunderbird and the width was pretty fat. So I get in there fine, but as i backed out, I ran over one of the cones (automatic disqualification). <_<;
Anyway, went today and I recently got a car--a 91 Ford Escourt. I'm not a big fan of Ford, but it's small and not a real gas hogger. So as the instructor comes out to the car with me, everything is working, and the only thing i'm thinking about is squeezing the car in between those tiny cones. She then tells me to honk the horn, (Ok, not hard...) I do so... ehhh... don't hear anything? ... shit... "Yes, unfortunatly sir, you need to have a car with a working car horn... so pissed. -_- And it's one of those things you never really check to make sure it's working before you go cause it never even crossed my mind. So I'm supposed to take the road test tomorrow again with a 2006 Hundai SUV. I've drove it before, and the maneuverability is really nice, just the front end is a little bigger than the escourt. That's all I need. -_-; Moving on. Any tips anyone has or just some major key things to pay attention to? I'm taking the test in FL. How ya doing, buddy? |
LOL You'd have the shit luck having it done around the time the news are blasting MIAMI as the TOP ROAD RAGE city. Just what this city needs, another ROAD RAGE DRIVER. Good luck btw!
I hated to parallel park because well I have a sense of distortion of space between the car and the cones/pole inbetween. Most amazing jew boots |
Which is good cause I don't live in Miami ^^;
I actually live in the middle-east coast. I even dislike FL because of the heat, and hurricane season is a bitch... Also we don't need to parrellel park down here, so that's one thing off my back. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I guess I'd recommend making it very obvious that you're checking your mirrors every six seconds... or what the amount is supposed to be.
I ran a red light on my driver's test. I passed anyway. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Take as much time as you need to make turns and such. Don't feel pressured by the presence of a tester in the car.
Also, if you see me around, be sure to come to a complete stop. :nodnod: I was speaking idiomatically. |
For some reason it felt like she hated me and wanted to rush the damn exam and I ended up getting nervous and failing the damn thing. I got a cool asian dude for my second try and all went well. Too bad you can't choose the examiner ~_~ What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? New Record! |
FELIPE NO |
Tilt the mirror up higher than usual so that you have to raise your head noticeably when you look at it. Same goes for any other time to look at the mirror; exaggerate it as much as much as possible and don't just shift your eyes.
Maybe you'll get lucky. I didn't have to do any parking at all for some reason. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I don't know where all these hellish driving instructors are coming from. I had a fine experience. Patient and decent.
Jam it back in, in the dark. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Mine let me palm-turn during my test 'cause she could tell I was faking trying to hold the wheel normally. ='D
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Mine didn't let me, but I did it anyway. Made sure I'd already got my license first, though.

I had some good luck when it came to my driving instructor. He was actually rather lax about the entire test. He let me keep my hands on the wheel in any position I wanted (hands on eight and six). I didn't even have to demonstrate parallel parking (which is definitely not my strongest point)!
Anyway, the only tip I can come up with is try not to be too nervous when the test comes up. Getting nervous can make your driving spontaneously erratic at the wrong time. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
lol funny comments. Had another question. What exactly is a Turn-a-bout? Is it a 3 point turn or what?
FELIPE NO |
Isn't a turnabout a giant circle like in the Simpsons, where you drive around until you exit where you want to?
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I think I may have passed my test by sheer luck. I'm a decent driver, but I can't back into a parking space to save my life. I think that most of the test the tester was distracted because we both worked at Target and were ripping on the Human Resources woman there.
I would suggest staying at ease and being friendly, making sure to pay attention to everything they say. From what I've seen, most testers look for an equal amount of skill and safety, meaning you can take a safe turn, just don't take 3 years making it.

Normal people call them "circles." There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I probably shouldn't have passed my driving test. I was speeding the entire time, I cut someone off, and I hardly looked at my mirrors. The lady was real nice, told me what I did wrong, but passed me anyway.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. "In a somewhat related statement. Hugging fat people is soft and comfy. <3" - Jan "Jesus, Gumby. You just...came up with that off the top of your head?" - Alice |
"What's that, student Brent?" "That's where I put on my werewolf mask and rape the shit out of you." Most amazing jew boots John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Eh, just drive like you normally would! If you're "faking" being a good driver just to get your license, then you don't deserve to have one! Dangerous drivers should not be on the road!

<@a_lurker> I like zeal better than guru.
<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
Speaking of safe driving, is anybody else under the impression that they actually drive BETTER at faster speeds, say, around 70-80mph? (110-130km/h for you other folks). Slower speeds I tend to get bored with and not pay attention to anything. That's why I want to get a manual - it's funner to drive and it keeps my attention longer than an automatic.

I had a course test as opposed to a road test. I ended up passing the first time, but I forgot my documentation the first time I went, so 10 minute ride back home. Went for my test, passed the parallel parking (even though I hit the curb... The guy was probably to fat to notice), but failed on turning since I kept going in too deep when I took turns. <_<
Ugh, at least I don't have to go through that again. <_< How ya doing, buddy? |
You ever feel though that no matter how hard you try, you just can't get it right. Everytime i know if i went over the cone, i feel like such a dumbass, like I don't learn from my mistakes. I think i just have bad judgement trouble for parking, yet i can shoot a rocket somewhere where i know where the person is going to be (say in BF2142) and hit them perfectly. >< What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I remember that I lost three points total for just being a few inches or so past the limit line at one stop sign. I took my test during the summer also, so the woman who was giving me the test seemed to be more concerned with turning up the air conditioner. I'm not sure about bike lanes in your state, but those were also important during my test.
