The wicked one's gettin behind the wheel

[wanna-b-ballin']

dont get ur hopes up yet man...
i'v gone 3 times now to get my liscence. the first two times i had a bad instructor person, and the second time i was distracted cuz the lady called me sonney boy.
1st time= i was turning left at a light at a 4 way intersection. my instructor was watching the light for the people going the other way, and it was clearly red for them as i was going, but the sun was shining in at just the right angle to make it look yellow. trust me, i went back after i got the bad news, and i looked, and it glowed from the sun. so the instructor decided that i ran a red. WTF!
2nd time= my driving instructor was an old asain lady, yes i know asain people are stereotypically bad drivers, but i am not making fun of them or anything. so i was at a red light, and it turned green, and i didn't slam on the gas the exact split second it turned green. i was trying to ease the acceleration, cuz they grade u on it. and i guess she thinks ur supposed to gun it at the light. so i failed it that time cuz she thought it was dangerous for the people behind me. OMFG WTF
and the 3rd time= the instructor was this ginormous black lady that weighted down 1 side of my van, and she gave me weird looks and called me sonny boy. and i was nervous and distracted and so i accidently didn't pay attention to a right of way law. so i failed.

i conclude driving instructor people in california are out to screw you over cuz they r old people that dont want teens on the road. so now i have to re-get my permit, and keep the old one, and try the driving tests again

Honestly if you fail 3 times you don't deserve to drive.

[dj89]

I was thinkin' the same thing.

[wanna-b-ballin']

i dont think u even read what i wrote or understood it. if you read it, it said the reasons why i failed. they werent my fault. the 3rd time it was partially my fault though. but, jeez, the creature was distracting me like no other

[MarkM]

Well I personally think you are more dangerous if you pass the first time...the story above...tough luck with the first time but the other two prove that in retrospect you were corrctly failed the first time (albeit for a wrong reason) hesitation IS dangerous and being distracted by someone sitting next to you calling you sonny boy...come on obvious can't take much can it....so no you shouldn't have passed.

As I understand the american system you get Drivers Ed (?) at school.....we can't drive car here until we are 17, plus if you pass in an auto you can only drive an auto because we (goverment) have decided that you are a danger to the public if you try to drive a manual...so you get a restricted license...learn in a manual and then you can drive anything. There has been talk of limiting what people who have just passed their test can drive in the same way we are limited with motorbikes...might happen might not. the nearest thing I know they have introduced is that if you pass your test now in a manual regardless of the age requirement (for certain vehicles) you cannot drive 7.5 tonne trucks...those with older license's can.

If i got in the car with any of those people i would have got right back out and wait for some one else. But than again i would never live in bay area, california...............

Damn. That sucks. I took drivers ed last year so I just go to the DMV and hand them the waiver that says I passed the test already.

The test is insanley easy though, you just have to show that you can turn, back up 20ft and park or something. No parallel parking and it's not even on the road.

If you ever got into a car with me, I'd crash the car.

[WickeDKlowN]

I just got back from the DMV. I handed her the paper, she typed some stuff into the computer, asked me how tall I was and told me to go get my picture taken. She didn't even make me take the eye test.

phew...

All you kiddies getting your liscences, I gotta go get a helmet

[Bear_Claw]

Yay i going for my TRUCK/AIR BRAKE lisence (DZ) in May cant wait. I have been driving trucks though for work (im a Truck mechanic) for a few yeas now though illegally so i figured i better stop testing my luck. I did take a Simulation safty truck driving challenge (local truck show had the full out Simulator) and got perfect so hopefully i can do it for real.

I have had my CAR Lisence (G) for over 5 years now and have owned 4 differant cars (well 1 car 3 trucks lol).


P.S.

If you ever have the chance to try one of those BIG Truck Driving simulators (NOt games the ones the train on) DO IT. It is awsome i went in their and you have a FULL recreation of a truck cab for you dash, clutch, brakes, 10 speed shifter and all. For this show they had the thing displayd out side on a BIG tv for every one to laugh at lol. So i am told to try to deliver this load to a place in the next city and if i brake any laws i will FAIL. Well i started out and you get to the intersection you have to make a HARD right at and theirs a car in the other lane so you edge out and the car backs up a bit out of your way and you go (DONT CLIP the curb or go into the wrong lane). So i get past that then start cruiseing down the road and a DEER jumps out in front of me i came with in inches of hitting it but managed to stop intime SAFLY and honked the horn and scared it off. So i continue down the road and am stoped again by a school bus and am told to pass it when i can (Passing ion a two lane country road in a semi is HARD). So i finally get by and the instructor said i have now gotten the farthest of the day and is gona kill me here so he progames in a tire blow out. Well i managed to muscel the wheel and keep controle and pull it off to the side of the road. So he said ok gave me a tire and said go on well next he programed a Tornado and it basicall flung my trailer out to the side and ALMOST fliped my truk but i managed to hold the truck but i lost the trailer lol. The instructor asked me were i worked and how long i had my truck lisence and when i told him i was a Mechanic (not a driver) and have yet to get my lisence he luaghed and said he would not belive me till i showed him my lisence lol. It was awsome LOADS of fun.

I have a Class 5N license with a M condition, the 5n is Newly Licensed driver so any Single Vehicle or Combination less than 14,000kg with no blood alcohol, only two people in the front seat, and cant drive between midnight and 6am. The M condition is any motorcycle as any time of the day.

Only a year left on the 5N.

I passed the beginners test and the road test on my first try. If you failed all three times you seriously shouldnt be aloud to drive, its a joke.

I drove my friends dads Freightliner dump truck, jsut in a parking lot, just shifting and stuff, I'd like to get that license aswell.

Well i started out and you get to the intersection you have to make a HARD right at and theirs a car in the other lane so you edge out and the car backs up a bit out of your way and you go (DONT CLIP the curb or go into the wrong lane).

I don't think i've ever seen someone swing it in the same lane, i've watched people try and wind up doing a 50pt manouver to get off the curb though :)

[Bear_Claw]

Too an extent but i have seen drivers going TOO far too. on some roads its impossible and you MUST cross the yellow a bit but it this case there was enough lane with /soft shoulder to allow for a proper turn.

my drivers ed was a comercial bussiness, not anythign to do with school. and
this is america, everythings auto. trust me, i know, ever one on the road does the speed right between 3rd and 4th. than and when people get right on your *** on a hill. i dont roll back, but it still makes me nervous

on a side note. hopefully CDL class B some time this year!
