I think there is a level of unfairness as I took it twice already and failed by the exact same person.
The first I understood because I was inexperienced, so I took extra lessons and polished it up. My parking was the best I ever done. K-turns very nice and did everything fine..I thought I will pass and in the end he told me to pull over to the curb and I was a little far from it. I failed for that....My friend hit the curb while parking and she passed. I just think it's really unfair. I failed because I couldn't go to the curb while there are cases where people pass stop signs and speed and still pass.
Share your road test experiences.

You might want to inquire, but I believe around here if you fail the test, you can ask to have a different evaluator the next time you take it. Well, assuming the testing facility has more than one person qualified to conduct the test.

One time I went to help a friend get their license and there were a LOT of asians taking the test and only one of them passed ohmy.gif
For some reason asians don't seem to do real well on the driving test.... I have no idea if it's just lack of practice or if there's any racism involved (I'm in the south, boy! YEEHAW!) or what.

Those driving examination centers must make a lot of money just by failing people after they've paid to take a road test. I loathe them. I've taken three examinations, but each were for three different levels of licensing. I've failed a total of four times if you combine all three examinations. It was all over stupid things too, such as not changing lanes (even when I did it when I believed it was safest, because it was on the highway where there were two trailers beside me). Honestly, a person never drives the way they do in an exam, so I don't see what good it's going to do when people drive however they want anyway. Then again, I'm a failure at everything, so what do I know.

I passed it the first time. I was surprised because I kinda messed up parallel parking, and plus the instructor was really strict so I thought I was going to fail lol

i passed the first time with 11/15 wrong.smile.gif

what area are you from? i'm in california.

i believe each state is different... but as far as california goes, you fail if you hit something.

also, the person who graded me was a fat asian guy. i don't know if that makes any difference at all.

im pretty sure u failed for something more than not parking near the curb
u have points that add up against u and if u make too many mistakes then u fail
you might have been dinged for points u might not have know....they usually give u a sheet with their remarks and points on it....

i dunno about new york but in cali if u hit something or slam ur breaks u fail automatically
i passed first time 14/15 wrong hehehe

I passed my second time.

Rumor is... here at our DMV the super easy one whichi isn't very far from where I live. the old woman fails you on the first try ON PURPOSE. But that's what I've heard from many people. it's like it's a GOAL for her to fail you =.=;; And it was because there were a COUPLE of things I didn't understand. But I passed my second time because thankfully I got this one guy. Yeah... I missed the EXACT amount you were suppose to miss o__o But I passed so i don't care XD

what you heard is untrue.

sure, the dmv doesnt care about customer service but they are there not to waste their times or yours

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

the test is easy, too easy. in fact, they should make it more difficult.

there are way too many shitty drivers on the road.

I took it once and passed with pretty high score.
My friend took it on the same day with a different instructor and barely passed.
My other friend failed the first time because she was speeding as soon as she left the parking lot -____- then she passed on her second try.
My dad had to take it 3 times when he was getting his license here in the US because of his bad driving habits LOL.

I passed it on the first try.
My driving instructor knew the driving test route so he took me on it 50+ times until I memorized every single turn and stop light. -____-
