Title: Taking my driver's license test tomorrow.
Post by: Jman on April 26, 2012, 12:57:01 PM
I think I got this. My parents say I'm a good driver and I'll pass with no problem. Hope they're right.

How did you guys do your first time?

I don't drive, but hey, I'm sure you'll pass. It's a good thing if your parents say your good.

Knowing you, I know it will be a piece of cake. As long as you know the common things they ask for like 3 point turn and parallel parking. Etc. You got this without a question lol.

UNLESS YOU HAVE A BITCH FAGGOT INSTRUCTOR PERSON. THEN ITS A DIFFERENT STORY.

she can be a bitch to the point where she fucks you up by her stress causing you to stress.

Public transport is okay when you live in the city. Its easier and funner imo. But nothing at all beats the privacy and comfort of your own car with no one else in it.

Well I already drive a lot on the highway and on really busy roads in rush hour traffic and stuff. I know how to do everything the test requires, so the only way I think I have a chance of failing is if I get an asshole for a test proctor.

Edit: I know all of these things pretty well.

The Florida Driving Test
Below is a list of the maneuvers you will have to perform in Florida driving test.

Turn About
Turn you car around in a 30 to 40 foot space. This is historically known as a three point turn.

Shifting Gears
If your car is manual shift you must be able to shift smoothly.

Parking
Park you car in a straight in parking spot. You should be centered in the parking spot. No more parallel parking test.

Stop Quickly
Driving at 20 MPH you are expected to make a quick and safe stop when the tester tells you to stop.

Backing Up
You will be asked to backup for 50 feet at a slow speed. You should turn your head and look to the rear not use the rear view mirror.

Stop Signs
You will be expected to come to a complete stop and use your turn signals to indicate if you are turning. Then you are expected to proceed into the intersection only when it is safe.

Signal and Turn
Get into the correct lane and signal that you are turning for 100 feet before you turn.

Stay in the Correct Lane
Drive in the right lane except on a one-way street. Only change lanes if it is safe.

Remember you should only have two speeds. Foot to the floor, or car turned off.

The best way to parallel park is at 60 mph, you get bonus points. Even if your test says it doesn't require it, it is really a test of your determination.

Like so:
Parallel Parking - The Fun Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a5MiGl1guM#)

It is best when your examiner's knuckles have bleached themselves, this means you have reached the appropriate level of driving.

And when your examiner tells you to slow down, it is really a test of faith, what he is actually asking is for you to accelerate.


Remember these tips and you should pass with flying colors!

Oh man, that all seems easy. I bet I could even do most of that with minimal training. I'm positive you'll do fine, even with a dick instructor.

Protip: Drive 2-5 mph under the speed limit. You might get a nit picky instructor who happens who hate teenage drivers.

I failed the first time.

Things to remember:

1. Turn Signals (blinkers)
2. Slower is better (instructor feels safer, knows you're not a hot-head)
3. LEARN TO PARALLEL PARK (It's easy)
4. Lean back, relax, and keep your hands on the wheel.  If you can' relax, the guy can't either.
5. Always keep your head turned completely around when backing up (except to check your front for a second if at an angle)
6. Hope you get an old man who doesn't even know how he got the job or whats going on like I did.  :rasta:

I suggest to you, find an empty parking lot and learn the limits of your cars performance. Emergency stops, swerving, and skid control. You'll be much more confident in your abilities when you know just what you can and acnt do in the vehicle.

DUDE. Mine expires next year. I hate how when I "renewed" mine (change of address) they just pretty much copied the exact information on my old drivers license except for the picture and my address change and this shitty lengthwise thing.

I DONT LIKE CHANGE. AT ALL.

Why does your state have to be so gay with licenses. Whenever you renew here in WI they always put a new issuing date on the license

Im sorry
