Memphus Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Paying attention to the speedometer while turning, learning how to drive after their driver testlook at all of these rookiesActually my road test was only my 2nd time behind the wheel. I never took a course or anything, just spent an afternoon in the car with my dad. I got 100% first try. Oh and I got 100% on the written test too (but that's a no-brainer). Umadbro? Link to comment
Zach Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) My parents made me take drivers ed in high school before I was allowed to get my license. It was ridiculously easy, but it lowered my insurance rates and was always a ton of fun to drive places for the first time while everyone else was in class.

Astraeus G Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I failed my first 2 times and in the third time i got it. It usually depends on the instructor. I was never good at parking but with practice i got good. I think I might still struggle with parallel parking a bit but I try to avoid that as much as I can Link to comment
Mike Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 How the fuck do you fail an American driving test? American driving tests are literally the easiest in the world. Link to comment
Grave Wizard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ever watch that Youtube ad about people who can't drive? You know with a kid who mentions he just got his license after 4 tries, well this thread reminds me of it. =] Link to comment
Wheelies Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I got mine y second try. I got dinged the first attempt because I couldn't back around a corner very well and when I made a right hand turn at a light I turned to sharp and was in the bike lane. Link to comment
Ymesocool Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I got mine the first time and then proceeded to become a professional driver a day after. They say I was the best there ever was. You mad? Link to comment

Dan G Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Guys stop you making me jealous.Your idols drive in circles for a living. If you succeeded in turning both ways in your test you're a winner. Link to comment
Hess Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Guys stop you making me jealous.Your idols drive in circles for a living. If you succeeded in turning both ways in your test you're a winner. Hardly even true. Look at this weekend for instance http://www.racesonoma.com/ Link to comment
Evil 4ever Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I failed the first time almost for the same reason as you. I drove in a turn in the 3rd gear, and I should had done it in 2nd though the speed was ok. I call it bullshit. I passed the second time with no problems as I was not nervous at all.

Dan G Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 First car I drove in was automatic but the first car that was "mine" was manualDid you do your test in an auto?In the UK, you can choose to have your test in an automatic rather than manual but then you'll only be able to legally drive an automatic. You have to do a "full" car license test to be able to drive manual. The latter is what the vast majority of people do without even considering auto. Link to comment
Sheckky Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Any excuse for driving a manual? I was considering a manual and then wised up and just got a GTI with the DSG transmission which allows me to shift if I want to. It is an automatic for the most part. I don't see the allure of having to shift my car 100 times while I am driving through town opposed to not having to worry about it. Link to comment
