BenKenobi Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Since I passed everything except 3 whole turns all I have to do are the 3 turns haha No parallel parking or corner backing or anything. Link to comment
A Dark Heart Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) I see that you live in Minnesota. I certainly hope you didn't have to take your test at the Chaska DMV like I did, because the people there are dicks. Basically just do what James and others have already said, take turns slow and drive the speed limit. You can afford to screw up your parallel park and stuff a little bit if you do everything else fine (I know from experience).Thats why next week im taking the test in Plymouth or Eagan. *sigh* hope I do better... I've heard Plymouth is good, I think they have a closed course there so you're not on actual roads. Some of my friends that took theirs there said it made it easier, but idk.Plymouth is an easy one, so is the one out in elk river, I heard buffalo can be a bitch though. OT: Just take it easy and enjoy it. Edited June 10, 2013 by A Dark Heart Link to comment
Memphus Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sounds the same as it was 10 years ago - You drive that way until you pass your test, then afterwards you learn how to properly drive. Link to comment
BenKenobi Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Just called my uncle (who is a DMV driver's examiner person in Chicago) and he said that each DMV has to meet a monthly quota of how many 16 year olds they fail otherwise the state gets suspcious... I am beyond mad right now because ontop of all this yesterday I had to drive halfway across creation to get me a new pair of contacts because one of mine broke.... UGH!!!!!!!! Edit: Should I hide a Go Pro camera in my car for my next test? Edited June 11, 2013 by SF Jackal Link to comment

UGH!!!!!!!!That's been a rumour in England for a while too. If you have your test on a Monday you're more likely to pass than if you do the same thing on a Friday. Link to comment

Nobody I know has passed with the guy that gave me my test... I can't even drive right now because I'm so mad I get reckless behind the wheel. -.- Link to comment
Ethan Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 In five years, you're going to find it silly that you're getting upset about this. I got upset when I failed my first test, and thought the examiner was just being an asshole. I took it a week later at a different location and got a 100%. Five years later, I regret the way that I reacted to the first test, so chill out and take it easy for the next time. 15mph going around a corner is quite excessive if you're in a neighborhood. But don't go too slow during the test. You can be docked for potentially holding up traffic. Link to comment
James Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There is an examiner up here (Alaska) who is well-known for failing everybody on their first test so he can get them to pay for a second test. The system is certainly ripe for abuse. Link to comment
Deathstar Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You can fail drivers tests? must be why dirtbag doesn't have his license yet... Link to comment
Seneca Crane Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I never went above 25 during the test -.- the speed limit in the city is 35-40. But yea I completely agree with you! Another guy cut me off which means i lose points on my test > I disagree with James, go the speed limit, maybe 5 below, but don't got 10-15 below.I went like a little bit over during my test Link to comment
Veggie Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Paying attention to the speedometer while turning, learning how to drive after their driver test look at all of these rookies Link to comment

Tidin L Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) I humbly failed my first go ahead as well and passed with a 100% the next pass. Failing could have possibly been due to: Instructor- "Back around this corner"Me- "There is no corner.. We are in a parking lot"Instructor- "Oh I usually don't have students go here. So, pretend there is one"Me- "Okay.."*backs around imaginary corner*Instructor- "You swung too far away from the corner. That is a critical error and auto fail. Please drive back to the DMV"Me- (in my head) "What the fuck" (out loud) "Damn".I humbly failed my first go ahead as well and passed with a 100% the next pass.
