today i was driving down a road towards a 4 way stop
as I get closer a woman is taking a right onto the road im driving down
I see her swing a bit too far, and I'm like okay I guess she is bad at turning. Except she doesn't correct. She goes fully into my lane, I have to drive completely off the road to be avoid being hit.
For one thing, try indicating to change back into the left hand lane, having some dude see that a learner is about to pull in front of him and so GUN IT AS FAST AS HE CAN TO GET PAST so he nearly rams you off the road, understandably shit yourself somewhat and then have the articulated lorry that was behind you in the right hand lane cheerfully plough into you because he sped up when he saw you moving over and didn't check again and now can't see you because you're in the blind spot that exists DIRECTLY UNDER HIS BUMPER.

i ran into a dudes truck at the drive through to zaxbys
i dont exactly know how
i just sorta rolled into it
no scratches on either of our cars but it was dumb
and if I hadn't failed on that I would have failed directly afterwards when I accelerate wildly to catch up with the guy that cut me up, lowered the window and shouted "CUNT! FUCKING CUNT! FUCKING DIE OF SHIT YOU FUCKING CUNT!"

and when that doesn't work, startle the hell out of the person administering the test by breaking into tears, begging them to pass you
tell them about your dead mother, and how you have 4 young siblings that need rides to school every day and it's just so hard and you tried your best, really but you just can't do it and oh god they'll all be so disappointed
I fucked up my parallel parking, and then lost points on my three-point because I was nervous, and would go through the steps properly, except for actually switching the gears. I let off the gas and went "Whoops' as the car went backwards half an inch before I hit the breaks.
Tube that sounds like how my US History teacher passed. When she was 17, she was living on her own, legally emancipated, with 2 jobs and school. She told us she had an old guy giving her the exam, and she broke down crying when it looked like she was going to fail, and started wailing about the shit in her life.
Boom. Passed the first time.
Last time I took it was on halloween, and the instructor kept moaning that they wouldn't let her come to work as a pumpkin. She had instead come as The Count, and at the end of the test said
"How many minor faults? ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN! SEVEN MINOR FAULTS! AH, AH AAAHHHHHH....."
Did you put it in her?
Because she sounds pretty awesome.
Hahaha, best post here since I was thinking the same thing!
Also, passed mine the first time easily. In fact, the driving test was barely over 5 mins. long. High-5, The_Scarab!

First time I failed because I was turning and a guy ran a stop sign and I almost hit him and apparently that is my fault, second time I failed because the instructor claimed that I wasn't accelerating fast enough to get onto the highway (I was at 65), and then started yelling at me to go faster and almost made me crash into a guy because I honestly don't do so well driving when a dude is getting redfaced yelling at me so as soon as we parked I started yelling at him and ended up getting three major strikes against me because I lost my temper on top of not accelerating fast enough and almost hitting a dude. Later he supposedly talked to my mom, and claimed that that's what his father did to him when he was learning to drive so he figured I was used to it. My mom, the saint that she is, lied to him and told him my dad was dead.

Tube is saying it is bad if other drivers fuck up on his test, Id say thats what you hope happens.
A: It makes even your mediocre driving look damn good
B: you get massive bonus points if you handle the situation well
Guy I know was involved in a minor head on collision when turning a corner on his final test. It was completely not his fault. Without prompt from the instuctor he parked safely, got out, handled the insurance with the other driver, got back and returned to the exam hall. Test ended less than 1/4 way in and he passed because he displayed mature awareness and considerate driving skill. Brilliant.
My Dad passed his driving test because the examiner turned up 2 hours late flaming drunk without any trousers on and passed him before he got in the car. True story. One of the best drivers I know too.

i got one mark off during my test because i decided to be on the safe side and stop on a yellow that had maybe half a second to go before turning red, with nobody behind me.
dude told me "someone could have rear-ended you".

Man that is one really long sentence in that post of mine up there.
Since I passed my driving test, nearly 5 years, I have not parallel parked once. And that includes owning a car in and around two major UK cities including london.

Such a useless fucking skill.
are you sure it's a car and not a bike
or a toy car
because i live in new york city and if you can't parallel park here you're mostly fucked. so i have a hard time believing that you don't need it in London.
i think drivers should be allowed to purchase (at no small fee) the right to take an advanced driving test. if passed, this test would give the driver the right to exceed the speed limit by a set amount. along with the test fee, the state would charge annual renewal fees, and every other year the driver would have to be retested (at no charge).
If the driver is in an at-fault accident, or is pulled over for speeding, he would lose his advanced license and the right to try again for 2 years.

I am so terrible at parallel parking. Despite repeated attempts, it completely eludes me.
I failed 2 times before passing. The first time was because I didnt look over my shoulder before backing up to parallel park, in my defense I checked all of my mirrors numerous times and they are angled in such a way that to be in my blind spot you would have to be nowhere near the car (I realize I should have looked anyways). The second time the instructor took a dislike to me because I wasnt staring at this woman starting to walk across the crosswalk, I saw her in my peripheral vision and was slowing to a stop to let her cross but I guess he thought I didnt see her and was going to make her bite bumper because he jerked like he was going to grab the wheel from me which caused me to stomp the breaks cause he freaked me out. The third time I passed but halfway through the instructor said "You really should be using your turn signal." to which I replied, "I have been, look its blinking right now." The dumbass instructor couldnt hear the clicking from the turn signal and just assumed it wasnt on.
my would-be instructor took one look at my car's black interior and was like screw that we are going to wait for 15 minutes and drink a coke and then go back inside

After I passed my drivers test at 17, I was standing in line to get my picture taken and get my ID and no joke I lost count how many times this old woman in front of me got to take the eye exam to get her license renewed. It took at least 6 before she passed.

it's win-win. i don't know anybody who is in such a hurry that they would risk the absolute right to speed by 15 MPH by going 20 over. meanwhile, the state pulls in a whole lot more money than it probably does through tickets. additionally, by tagging the vehicles of the people who pass, state troopers can ignore speeders who don't represent a real danger and focus on those who haven't proven their ability to speed safely.
The ACLU baffles me. After that old dude plowed into a bazaar and killed like twenty people, people obviously called for more stringent testing, but the ACLU got its feathers in a rough yelling BUTTTT NOOOO OLD PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS TOO.
Working at a gas station you see tons of stuff. What cemented my belief that everyone should be re-tested at age 60 and every 5 years after was the old man who basically stumbled around my store at .2 miles an hour for 30 minutes while staring vacantly forward and drooling (no joke) before buying a push pop and leaving. (He drove away)

i'm beginning to think my driving school was not very good
i would've passed you for that alone
and when that doesn't work, startle the hell out of the person administering the test by breaking into tears, begging them to pass you

That's actually how this girl I know passed. Seventh time. 15 minor faults. You're allowed 16.

Truth. I drove around the parking lot and that was pretty much it.
or are you much, much younger than one would suspect?
that is incredible

because christ half this state should not be trusted with a motor vehicle.

are you retarded?
or a woman?
or asian or something?
The point is instructors are idiots.
it was a really hot day, incredibly humid
my would-be instructor took one look at my car's black interior and was like screw that we are going to wait for 15 minutes and drink a coke and then go back inside
congratulations, you passed!
