I took my driver's test in my mom's 1987 Grand Marquis (took the test in '91)...looked like this

.

Parallel parking was not so fun. Still passed w/ no problems. I know now in Ohio you don't have to parallel park, you do "maneuverability" now.

 

took my road test in my horizon, best city car ever haha. Visibility is excellent, turning is great. I got 20 points, (in ny they count up) 30 points and you fail. Its quite nerve racking, but just try and think you're just going out for a drive with someone telling you where to go.

If your nerves get the best of you you'll make simple mistakes like i did. I got "mis use of gears" and it's automatic, accidently ended up in neutral, never did it before never done it since. Darn nerves

 

When I took drivers training it was in a 1980's Chevy Celebrity. At that time the testing was done right there by the driving instructor. That was like 25 years ago tho. My son had to do parking first then driving and did just fine. If you don't pass the parking the test is done.

 

I took my driver's test in my dad's mazda wagon. Passed easy ..
When I got job at post office garage I had to get CDL License and had to parallel park a Mack truck and 48 foot trailer on the left and right ..Good Luck on your test..

 

thanks for the encouragement/advice. i feel somewhat thankful that im using a Durango now lol. exactly 7 hours I will be waiting for the instructor to give the test. I already slept and can't sleep anymore. not because the test, just sleeping habits.

 

cool good luck

 

Hi `Maw, six hours & counting...
Just show the instructor what the Durango can do in a 1/4 mile....Hop in the Durango, fire it `up & do a burnout

We all know that you won't have a problem, just relax & concentrate on driving....You know what U got 2 `do...

Good Luck & let us know how it went...No Pressure, Have Fun & drive smart/safe/EnJoy the Experience....

If I can pass a driver's TEST, anyone can 4-Sure....

 

passed my test today. can't legally drive the monte for about a week though. parking break is fubar and has to be inspected afterwards. wasn't as bad as i thought. just wish i could drive my car. oh well.

 

Congrats on passing test .. Too bad on the parking brake , in MO. they don't test parking brake on state inspection ..

 

congrats!

How many people failed one or more times?
I failed my first time for turning right out of the parking lot into the middle lane. No cars were coming to my left, but I guess this is still technically against the rules. But still, is that a failing offense? I thought it should have just been some points deducted. Guy was a jerk. Whipped a mean U-turn after he told me I failed. I was pissed. Anyway, I passed the next day at a different DMV. And the instructor there said I was the best all week
