View Full Version : I just took the written portion of my Driver License test.
I failed.
Man, I thought if I just did some good guessing I would have passed. I guess I have to study now.

Stay off a motorcycle...The rules of engagement are far less forgiving....
I only needed to miss 6 for a passing grade. I missed 12. Some of the questions were pretty hard.
An old man with a white cane leans to cross the street, he pulls back, what do you do?

Dude you get on the sidewalk and run him the fuck over, he's old and blind and shouldn't be out in the street anyway.
In what state do they ask that question?

I failed the written part of my driving test 3 times. Yes, that is the maximum number of times you can fail it before you have to wait 90 days to take the test again. No shame, baby. I did the home school crap and did nothing, clearly. But seriously, do not tell me all of the questions are common sense, because they're not. Who knows how long skid marks are going to be if you're going 'x' speed while slamming on your breaks at 'x' point. Screw you.

last time I saw one the study manual was only like 3" x 5" X 1/4"...and they pretty well give you the answers to the test...I guess it's safe to assume you guys didn't read the booklet?

I failed the first time I took it because I didn't even look at the book. I passes the 2nd time with ease. :tu

While I was waiting in line I was reading it. I didn't really help.

Good lord people.......the driving test is a gimme.
If you use common sense you can almost pass the test without reading the pamphlet.
Being from Virginia, I believe it was required to take Driver's Ed before you could graduate.
You people don't know the rules of the road and want a license? I don;t want to hear you bitchin' about bad drivers.

In Toronto you gotta pass 3 tests to get your full license. 1st test is computer/written, second is road test (parallel parking, 3-point, reverse parking), and third test is the highway test + the 2nd test stuff.
My final test is next Friday and I haven't entered a car in a month :oops

Ha, there was no parallel parking on my test. I drove down the road, and came back and I had a license. :tu

The only part of the test I did not pass was the parallel parking.
I was only given 3 turns of the wheel and only got partially in and the tester said to continue to the street for the rest of the driving test.
I think I have only used parallel parking 3 or 4 times since I got my license in 1979.
Actually....the hardest part in learning to drive for me was the license itself...it was learning to drive a standard and using a clutch, especially on a steep hill. I was constantly stalling the car because my timing of the clutch and gas were off. Took me awhile to get the hang of it.

Ah... the driving test....
I remember I went to the TXDPS center to obtain an I.D. so that I would be able to board a plane (for an internship with NASA back when I was 16).
I saw that the price for a license was about 6 dollars more so I said, "ehhh might as well try"...
I sat down and took the written portion... some of the weirder questions were actually solved by using some basic physics equations... (:nerd... I know).
I ended missing only two questions... One of which, I still remember (is it legal to make left turns into one way streets on a red light? ---- yes)
Anyways, after my picture was taken the officer said, now be back here tomorrow at 9:00 for the driving portion of the exam...
I'd completly forgotten about that part of the test.... and spent the better portion of the day taking a crash course in drivers' ed.
I passed...

If they would require an IQ test before handing out licenses, there would be much less road rage in the world.

I think I had a question like "When going uphill, what force is being exerted upon your vehicle?" Gravity bitch.

that is not true at all. my professor was pretty smart but a complete psycho on the road. he had a suspended license half the time

OK, a common sense test then.
Sample question:
You are at a stop sign about to turn onto a divided highway. Of the two lanes available for you to turn into, the left lane (a) is open and the right (b) contains an 18 wheeler approaching at highway speed approximately 1/4 mile from you. Which choice would be the least likely to turn your 1984 Ford P.O.S. into a mangled pile of scrap metal which the fire department will have to cut open with the jaws of life to retrieve your remains?
Luckily, based on my personal experience, most motorists today would choose (b) which means they would fail and lose their licenses...

My current license I had to take 5 written tests and a driving test.
Just 5?
I thought there were 7?

Wow, I thought it was pretty easy. I passed it the first time when I was 16 and 20 both of which were written. I had to test a year early this winter because I had too many duplicates issued and they wouldn't issue another w/o me taking the tests. I had to take both the written (which is now not really written but computer based) and the driven exam.
I was nervous about the written since I hadn't taken it in like 8 years, but once I took it I knew there was no way that I was going to fail, it was easy. There were no trick questions about fines, skid marks, and other lame topics like others have mentioned. All the questions were straight forward questions that everybody on the road should know like identifying signs by color and shape, safety issues, distances, speeds, real life scenarios, mostly somewhat to really basic info.
I was really nervous about the driving part since I hadn't taken that in 12 years. I thought I would get deducted points for little things that I hadn't thought about in years, but again it was nothing to be nervous about. Just have to remember to use your blinkers all the time no matter what even if it seems pointless, keep it slow, check your mirrors, make complete stops behind the lines, look for school zones, and give right-a-way to pedestrians.
I drove slower and more cautious than I had ever in my life, they have to know that people don't drive like that in real life. Only thing I did lose points for not using my blinker once, after she had me do an emergency stop and put on my hazards, I forgot to use my blinker as a pulled away from the curb.

I past the written test with ease, but I did failed the first time I took the driving test. In all fairness I knew that after I ran over that cop my chances to pass were slim :spin

I passed the written part the first time. BUt I thought for sure I was going to fail the driving part because while I was parallel parking he said nevermind just go ahead and pull up to the stop sign. He barely passed me and said well you barely did it and walked away. What an ass but I think that is a requirement to work there.

I passed the driving test on the third try. The officer seemed pretty upset when I lifted the back end of the car into the air as I backed over the parallel parking pole...

I don't mean to be an asshole, but how stupid could you possibly be? :lol
I took that shit while high and passed...."A stop sign is what shape?" hahaha
Did they make it more difficult or what?
Come on E20. We have taken the same test, being from Cali and all. Not only am I better than you at battle blogs, but I am also a better test taker. I missed 3.
Come on bro. :lol
I didn't take Drivers Ed, I didn't study, I just went up and took the test. :lmao
The written portion is total BS in my opnion.

Seriously, if you don't have the brain power to pass the written portion, you don't belong behind the wheel.

Okay buddy it's not all common sense. And most of the questions are pretty stupid.

Written test I passed with flying colors... I think I had one wrong answer. Maybe.
The driving test, however, didn't go quite so smoothly. Within about five seconds of getting into the car, the DMV guy made a point to tell me that California law states that if the same person fails you twice, they're not allowed to do the third test with you. I probably should have just seen that as a clear sign that, no matter what happened, I was going to be taking that test three times. Jerk failed me the first time for taking turns too fast, then failed me a week later for taking turns too slow. When I passed on the third try with a new DMV guy, the first thing he asked was why I wasn't passed the first two times.

Maybe the first guy just wanted to fail you so he could find you walking and pick you up in the future:D

Could be.
I always figured it was either that he was a creep who wanted reasons to be around young girls, or that he was the type who had to get his power fix by being a prick at the DMV.
