Passing a driver's test.

ck is one of those guys who stops before a roundabout when theres nothing coming so you have to slam the brakes on to prevent crashing into the back of him

monkfish is one of those guys who makes completely unfounded accusations about somebody and then calls it "trolling" just because he thinks getting attention means he is clever and funny

I mean in this case the argument was about me braking early to fly through an open lane at a light, the thing I am doing is going faster than everybody not braking halfway down the street...it is the exact opposite of what you are accusing me of, and it only involves braking down 5 to 15 miles per hour, seeing as you are coming up on a red light I am pretty sure no one is going to be annoyed by that

tl;dr monkfish sucks and does not understand driving but accuses others of driving poorly

Passing the speed limit an instant failure? Have these people ever actually driven? While it might be more dangerous to speed for young people who cannot drive well at all (which is why the driving test should be for 18 year olds), not speeding when everyone else is speeding is more dangerous than speeding.

Fishy you are so never driving my car again what the fuck

I had 5 of my 7 driving lessons and then my test in a PT Cruiser...I was so fucking mad.

Yeah, there are three things that trigger instant fails.

1) Failure to obey road signs (including speeding).
2) Failure to obey road markings (e.g. crossing double white lines or whatever)
3) Hitting another driver or object.
 
Failed my G2 cause I didn't look at my mirrors apparently. I lost all confidence and never went back since
 
There are more things than those that trigger instant fails. Apparently there are more things that do that than even a driving school knows.
 
ck is one of those guys who fills their entire passenger side with trash because there's never any need for room for someone to sit next to him
 
Unlike you, I am quite serious monkfish, your pathetic cry for attention is not interesting to anyone. Speeding through a roundabout with no one to bother me sounds fantastic.

darkie I have a nice car now, so I stopped eating inside it! A very positive life change, I like to think.
 
I don't mean to bump this, but I have a retest tomorrow at noon. Does anyone have any tips that might help, aside from the ones already posted?
 
Remember to exaggerate head movements when looking at mirrors, and make sure the instructor doesn't start the test with the car in gear. My dad did that to me once in his car and now I always just give the gearstick a quick wobble to make sure I'm in neutral before starting the ignition.
 
dan dan my instructor taught me the same - before you turn the key, gearstick wobble and handbrake check or its an automatic fail. perhaps he was lying but i definitely paid attention!
 
You could always try to put the instructor in a spot where they have to really think about something besides what you're currently doing so they don't see if you mess something up. I just did this when my government teacher was checking my paper, right when she got to my desk I asked her who she thought would be the Republican primary and she got so wrapped up in that that I ended up with an incomplete assignment and a 100.

Also, roundabouts are pretty much the dumbest things in Europe. I mean, not being able to sit down, piss, or drink water without paying is really stupid too, but roundabouts take the cake. In fact, American roads >> European roads in general. However I will give European roads credit for not having potholes and whatnot but that's just because they ("they" in this context meaning the Swiss assholes) fine the shit out of you if you're caught going roughly 5 MPH over the +70 speed limit. Also Italians must be perpetually afraid because they need SOS phones every 300 feet along the side of the freeway. That is all
 
We have little mini road "circle" roundabout things here where they pretty much just put a tree or something in the middle of the street and you have to go around it. There are bigger roundabouts but they're pretty uncommon - in Los Angeles at least.
 
Acting nervous is the last thing you should probably do lol. Especially since they actually know that this is your second time XD.
 
they aren't that common but we definitely have roundabouts, and i wish there was more. they're a lot more efficient than stoplights. basically what md said.

for your drivers test just drive cautiously, try to stay between 5 under and the speed limit although you can go 3 over without any sort of penalty. stay relaxed while you're doing it too, if you're worried then you'll be more likely to make mistakes.
 
I thought I did a pretty good job of acting nervous the first time. This time I'll try the whacky new theory and not act nervous.

update: Bingo. Thank you all for your comments, even the sarcastic/patronizing/irrelevant ones.
 
Congratulations, Starbuck! :)

Haha, the first time my little sister Stephanie took her drivers test she didn't even get out of the parking lot- backed right into a parked vehicle. It was pretty hysterical, :)
