I failed the driver's test and I failed him. I thought I could grow up and I was wrong.

I failed my first driving test miserably - I didn't even get out of the parking lot. I did something stupid becuase I was so nervous and the lady yelled at me for about 5 minutes. I started crying as soon as I got out of the car. I passed on my second try though, months later I am an active and safe driver. You'll get it eventually - don't worry too much. And apparently like over 60% of people fail the first time, you're not alone.

HAHAHAAHAHAHH YOU SUCK!


Sorry but it's true. Driver's tests are like the easy (such as EOG) standardized tests: Passing them is no big thing, but if you fail them something needs to seriously be reevaluated.

It's not just you, I'll never let curran forget that he failed for coasting through a stop sign.


good luck on your next one!

it's ok, driving tests test nothing, because the way that u need to drive to pass the test is absolutely different from the way most people drive normally (ex: pchis speeding)

Uh... I wouldn't say the driving test tests nothing. I WILL say that most people on a regular basis drive NOTHING like how they do to pass their test. Why? Oh... maybe because people like speeding and driving haphazardly.

Do people get hurt MOST of the time? Nah, but driving safely doesn't seem too popular, so we'll never know how much less people would get hurt if everybody, oh I dunno... didn't drive like maniacs.

Example: A car was merging into an adjacent lane the other day. No problem. Wait a minute.. he was merging on top of my car. Ah! Problem!

So... the poster above me, that they test nothing, blah blah blah, you can say that all you like. But until you "conform" the that stupid thing called the "law" or more obnoxiously, the "rules of the road"... you ain't gettin yo' license.

go to the one in cary, if you're in that part of nc. it's really quiet until the cary hs kids get out, which isn't until after 3pm, and you can get it down, low-pressure, in 10-15mins tops.

Uh... when I took my test, it was "Turn right out of the parking lot. Turn right at this light. Make a 3-point turn. Go back to the DMV and park.... CONGRATULATIONS!"

Yes, I will admit that the test is somehwat inane... which is why failing it is... so... I don't think I even have to say it.

The test is really dead easy, but mistakes happen, Swales... Don't lose hope, just pick yourself up, go back to that DMV office, and pwn their n00b asses at the next available opportunity :-)
