Failed my driving test today

[Black Dog]

Felt like crap for the first few hours....oh well sh!t happens though!

I performed every maneuver perfectly, so I think towards the end I started to feel too ****y. The area where I was testing was pretty dead too..On our way back I was going through a blind-spot intersection, coming out of residential and didn't see a car coming from right :kick:

"Stop! Stop! STOP!"

I didn't crash or anything but after that I just felt like....:cuss:

I almost failed the first time. I didn't realize that even when a stop sign's white line is ridiculously far back from the intersection and you can't see anything at all, you still have to stop at the line anyway, and then stop again when you get far enough past the obstructed view to actually see.

fwiw, I don't think most of the things that make a good driver are covered in the rules of the road. You will learn over time to do things like look through corners, watch the brake lights of cars in front of you, and be able to pick out the other drivers who are not paying attention before they smash into you. Those are the skills that keep you alive.

Don't know if this helps but, I failed my driving test 3 times. Not cause I sucked but because I relied on too much 'real-world,' driving skill.

What the test instructors are looking is the text-book driving style. Just make sure you a) don't get ****y b) just stick to the rules.

Now once you've got your license, like Bible Belt says, you'll start to acquire the real skills that will most likely keep you alive on the road.

I get told I am by far the best driver they know by men/women around me.

I took driving class in High School, and received my license without ever driving on the street. Ever since I didn't have a single driving test. I've got something like 15 years experience by now, I'm 30 by the way. I drive well, and had relatively few crashes. My largest crash was at 115 miles per hour, span out on ford crown vic and hit guard rail with my rear - always change tires in time! I've had ford taurus, crown vic, mustang gt, and now I drive lada 4x4. Driving is like second nature for me - though this doesn't mean I would pass a driving test if I had to take one. Second nature does not mean by the rules, I often break the rules without realizing. I speed, I take corners fast, I hold steering wheel with my **** while I light a cigarette, if tomorrow driving instructor had to drive with me he'd take a **** in his car and I'd fail.

Go take that test again and if you have to pay some money to the guy.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Today I retook the test and just stuck with textbook driving

Felt lame, but I passed it this time
You guys can expect some LR's in the feature, taking place in my car :rockon:
