Help Driver's license

[matheush]

I overslept for an hour of additional rides that I bought to practice a bit more before the exam I have tomorrow, bc last time i was driving was like 2 months ago XD. Exams for this are like around 50€+, and for me as a person who dont have a job and still study is really expensive, and i really hope that somehow i pass but im stressing a lot. Any tips?

Personally, what I needed to pass was a calm mind and slowing down. I was once failed for not yielding the right of way, even though I would've had time to make my turn. Not sure what the passing criteria are like where you're gonna take an exam, but you can always dial down. Plus it's the last time you'll ever drive 100% by the rules lmao. True learning will begin once you pass, and it's so worth it.

I'm thinking of you, and wishing you an easy pass

You reminded me that on my test, I got a point removed for forgetting to put my turn signal when turning into a parking spot. I also messed up my 3-point turn. Don't forget those.

I didn't even make it to the parking thing. In Poland, we first have a task on the manoeuvring yard, and there you have to drive forward and backward on a curve marked by cones, and i slightly touched one of them and it was the end of the exam. The weather was also terrible, it was snowing and i was freezing ://

I failed when i tried to get my motorcycle license. it was genuinely heartbreaking, worst shit ever. Especially because i had to take the bus home

I have no real advice since I don't think I could pass my driver's test again. I took mine in 1982 in a small northern town with no traffic lights. The parallel parking test was done between 2 snowbanks.

Driving around cones?? When are you going to use that shit in real life ?!? I firmly believe that if you are taking the exam in a large city, the instructors fail everyone because it's a cash grab - we have privatized registries where I currently live. I do not know of anyone who passed the first time; however, I don't know of anyone who failed a 2nd time.

I guess it's easier getting a semi-truck Commercial Driver's License since you can give the instructor an extra $1,000 to pass you. We had quite the issue with that happening about 5 years ago.

Good luck on the next one - I'm pulling for you
