the first time was a dumb mistake. the driver's liscense test track had the road you were driving on constantly shifting into different types of roads. At the very end of the test i screwed up on the last turn. I was on a 4 lane highway, i mistook it for a 2 2-lane avenue. So i didn't move all the way to the left to tun left.

My thoughts exactly, especially when automatic cars do half the work for you these days, so if you fail once then i don't want to be near you on the road.

But people always have to keep on trying like the Korean woman did with her 772nd test. There's hope for everyone... To me that signifies the absolute bare minimum of knowledge has been learned and any further advancement is highly unlikely. So i don't want to near her on the road either.

I remember reading that she needed 60 points or something like that to pass the written part and she kept getting under 50. Yea, I would be very afraid of her being on the road. Old people driving scares me too.
Passed the driving portion with ease (including parellel parking. Not sure if this is require by all but ya just saying) but i had to retake the written test cause i missed one more than what was allowed. So lame. Not one single accident or mis-hap since i got it 2 years ago.
I think it was 5 or more. Then we moved to California and I got a 98% on my first try. Bunch of a-hole testers in Minnesota taking off 5 points for every imaginable thing.
Been driving 30 years with a spotless record, for the guy who says I have no business driving.

I had to retake the written portion because half the test was about DUI penalties. There was a big push in the state that year for DUI education. Apparently, it's not enough for me to say "I won't drive drunk". No... I must also know that after my first DUI conviction, I can serve X number of days in jail, pay a fine of Y dollars, and have Z points removed from my license. And I must know every XYZ combo for all additional convictions. Questions like "what does this sign mean" or "in this scenario, which car has the right of way" were apparently not very important to the DMV that year.
I passed my first time. Did everthing fine but almost failed on parallel parking. Been 2 years and I have not even attempted to parallel park so screw them for even putting that in.

Because failing the parallel parking means you can't drive :roll: Because failing your driving test means that you can't drive. no it doesn't. It could mean a few things. Unless a robot is the examiner, then humans are inclined to score people any which way, even if their is a protocol to follow. I'm sure many people have got stuck with a stickler and failed over trivial things that the person was caught up on because of some psychological association, and then other drivers have been passed when they shouldn't have because they had an examiner who felt sorry for them. so there is definitely room for forgiveness here. For not passing, and even those that pass may have had some kind of favoritism, or other thing going on to their advantage.

In my opinion, that's absolutely what it means. Any idiot can parallel park.
Mhmmm I beg to differ. I have seen plenty of drivers who can execute everything perfectly but when it comes to parallel parking in a tight spot they just can't. Parallel parking should only be part of driving tests in the city. Other than that nobody ever parallel parks. I've had my license for 2 years and have not done it once nor needed to.

sorry to break it down to you but i had a friend who was an evaluator and he failed people to reach quotas. So? You should still be good enough to be in the proportion that he couldn't fail.

Because failing the parallel parking means you can't drive :roll: Because failing your driving test means that you can't drive. So according to you, even if you do everything else correctly during the test, but fail the parallel PARKING means you can't DRIVE?

Since parallel parking is a basic part of driving in an urban environment, yes.

If you're willing to solemnly swear to never drive near a populated area, or if they start issuing separate licenses for non-city folk, I'm okay with that. Otherwise, you should know how to maneuver your vehicle.
