I passed my road test today. It wasn't hard at all, the kid before me looked so nervous in the car when it pulled up. Cop said I was the best that day and then said I was the best he's had in the 2.5 months since he started at this new location. How did everyone else do on their road test when the took it?

the only thing i messed up was, when i stopped at a red light, i didnt stop being the line. i was making a right hand turn, so i kept going, then stopped when i could see if it was clear or not for me to go. I stopped and was looking to my left..the guy was like "where are you supposed to stop at a red light?" i was like then looked down at the road and saw i was past the line. He let me go on that..and continued bullshitting about my tattoo. :chuckles:

i was most worried about parallel parking. i did it perfect though..my mom stood off to the side with her eyes closed until the guy next to her told her i did it fine h:


Congrats! Drive safely and buckle up! :thumbup:

I got a ton of points off for shifting while turning. Guess I'm supposed to keep both hands on the wheel until I complete the turn and redline 1st gear. I still shift in the middle of a left hand turn. Haven't lost control yet!

You guys have cops do your testing? :thinking:

I got points off for going too slow. I was almost going the speed limit, she told me to get over one lane...so I slowed down to let the car beside me pass in order to get into that lane...she marked me down for going too slow.

The lady reached over and beaped the god blessed horn while I was trying to make a right on red. She though I had a green light and "all the other people were going."

Here in VA, you can either take the DMV road test with one of their officials (VA stopped using cops long ago) or licensed driving school instructors can give it, the latter is how I did it.

One day, I was driving around with my instructor. I follow his directions like normal, then he told me to park the car in this lot. I thought we where trading drivers, and he said "congrats, you just passed your driving test."

So I gave him the what-the-fuck-just-happened look and said "cool."
