I have a road test on April 2nd.

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.

Girl taking test after me had this tiny smart car from some driving school - there's no way you couldn't not pass parallel parking using that.

Good luck Moizy!

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.
