Road Test today! (NJ) - Page 2

Yea in theory it's supposed to give new driver's more supervised driving experience, but since you don't have log in practice hours, it is a stupid rule (especially if over 21)

Good luck everyone!

Congrats Swim!

Sorry !!! Its been a very busy day for me...

1. When the student was driving. I was seated on the backseat. I SAW the truck on the other opposite lane from us flip over. after a wide turn.LITERALLY FLIPPED OVER! The moment I saw that happen, I called 911 right away. I wanted to get off the car and help the man out becauses he was banging on his windowshield. But I couldnt. We had to go, but good thing the other drivers stopped and helped out the man.

2A ROAD TEST! WOW! I was junk nervous. FOR REAL. I went to Rahway,NJ and the course is very small. The lady said should turn a lot "FASTER" Its raining/hailing w.e . So I was kinda traumatized after seeing that truck flip over....
2B I did my parallel parking. I came in between the cones too far so what i did I get out the spot and re do it . AFTER THAT! I had to do parking downhill. WTHECK! I didnt see it coming. But yeah i failed that part because I turned the wheel the wrong way. Thats the only major issue..

but.... I PASSED!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!! Thanks for all your prayers and support. NOW ! I just need a car. hehe. Sorry i took long to reply.

Congrats! That must been tough.

Where's this closed course one? And also did you guys use any cheap driving schools?

Congrats. Just got mine a week ago (second attempt) in CT. No parallel parking. Just a simple backing. Second time around my examiner was chill, old guy..took literally less than 10 minutes.

I didn't even leave the parking lot, and now im on the turnpike pulling 70+ lol

Eatontown DMV. My dad taught me, he has his green card so I can't help with driving school.

Gonna give you my input on this. I went to a driving school locally for my states 8 hour alcohol required course and then I took 6 hours of actual driving lessons from them. My instructor just sat in the car, told me to start driving and thats it. To kill time, he made me drive literally straight for a long time and I feel like he didn't adequately teach me the turning and parking manuevers properly. I failed my first road test horribly. Then, I had to get a friends help because there was no way I was going to pay for additional classes at the driving school. My friend actually made me sweat at a parking lot and I almost puked the way he was teaching me the turning. I spent almost an hour making the number 8 with the car in an empty parking lot. I passed my second attempt in flying colors. So, if you're going to go to the driving school, I recommend you ask as many questions as you can. Make the instructor teach you what you need to learn. You must be vocal and don't be afraid even though he/she may not be patient. Tell him/her that this is your first time driving and have some patience with you. Just relax and learn..Good luck.

I took my written test last wednesday and
driving test yesterday. .I passed both. .on the driving test
he took points off because I was speeding down the blvd! haha
and also when parking and reversing. .look back and not just through
the mirrors. .he took points off because I was looking too long through
the mirror and not enough through the back window. .

by the way this was in CA but I'm sure they test the
same kind of stuff
