Oh My Lanta

[Rye]

My road test is tomorrow morning. I'm really nervous. I think I'm going to pass, but I'm still nervous. If I pass, I just have to finish my last driving session in Driver's Ed, then when I'm 17 (24 days), I can drive by myself with my full license.

Tell me your road test stories.

[Flying Mullet]

My road test was quite boring. I remember I spent a lot of time practicing parallel parking, and then they didn't have me do it on my road test.

Well, I haven't done any "proper" testiness, but I drive with my dad a lot. I sucked at first. And I mean sucked. Maybe the secondish time, I almost ran over the guy who owned the land we were driving on. :bigbiggri

[CimminyCricket]

I killed seven people, two dogs, a cat, 9 birds, one homeless person and caused 17 accidents in the span of the two seconds it took to start the car.
Which is why I don't drive.

[Zeldy]

We can only drive at 18

[CimminyCricket]

My fault.

[Fonzie]

I get my drivers license without having to take any tests.

[Ouch!]

"Your reverse process was weak, but not enough to fail you."
Seriously, what the hell does that mean?

The first time I took it, I knocked off someone's mirror with my mirror. ^_^

The next time I just parked bad.

I'm nervous to do my driving test. I'm so bad at reversing around a corner.

oof.

That you might hit someone while backing up, but most likely won't kill them.

Mine was pretty smooth. I did the reverse figure eight pretty easily and we really only did most things once. We didn't have to parallel park during the actual exam and that was the only part I was halfway worried about.

[Croyles]

Well basicly. This is my story:

I am waiting at the meeting point. The driving instructor and the examiner come rolling in and park. The driver (the previous student) steps out. The examiner steps out. The examiner then starts to shout at the driver:
"THAT was the biggest pile of anyone has ever driven. You can not drive a car to save your life, and you wanna drive a truck?"
The examiner continues to explain to the poor fellow that after the 2nd gear, comes the 3rd and not the 5th.
The driver runs away squeeling.
I hop in, the examiner introduces himself as Schumacher (no joke, it IS a pretty damn common name over here) and I start driving.
I could have killed a couple of old ladies and he wouldnt have noticed cause he and the instructor were arguing the whole way whether this outbreak was justified and if he even should have failed him.
Even so I was driving really well which is what the instructor told me. Yeah he actually notices things. But I had the potential to drive a lot worse.
I drive all that day and get a speeding ticket the next. I asked for a picture. I actually look like a bank robber on it. Ill upload it some time.
And that is the end of my tale.

BTW, is it REALLY true that most americans drive automatics? Arent they boring?

[Yamaneko]

I passed my first time.

They can't ask you to parallel park in California anymore since too many people were failing that part.

Seriously? D:

And yes, we mostly drive automatics. I'm terrified of manual cars. I will never get into one.
