<p>What did you have to perform on your driving test?
What was the hardest question on your written test?</p>
<p>Any outrageous or halarious stories you know of and what to share?</p>
<p>Post Here</p>
<p>It's easy, both parts. Think of some of the people you see on TV or read about in the paper, and realize that if they can pass these tests, you can.</p>
<p>no doubts, just curious</p>
<p>Do people still take the driving test? I just took driver's ed.</p>
<p>What did you have to perform on your driving test?</p>
<p>Nothing really... we don't have to do an on real road test just a parking lot test. All you have to do is parallel park and a "turnabout" which is basically a three point turn that you can do in more than three points. I did get a deduction for sliding my hands around the wheel... I guess you have to keep a grip on the wheel at all times... whatever.</p>
<p>What was the hardest question on your written test? </p>
<p>It was a multiple choice that asked how to distinguish a blind person crossing the road.. (1)A man walking with a white stick, (2)a man walking with a guide dog, or (3) a blind man cannot be distinguished, and then some other BS answer. I chose the three because 1 and 2 were so close. It didn't tell me the right answer but I know that 3, the one I chose, was wrong.... that was the only question I got wrong.</p>
<p>Any outrageous or halarious stories you know of and what to share?</p>
<p>No, although I took the test in a sports car(I was staying with my uncle for the weekend so I took his car) and got a whole 20 minute lecture on how teens shouldn't drive sports cars or SUVs... it wasn't even my car. I drive a old woman sedan.</p>
<p>I watched some poor girl fail the three-point turn (and thus the entire exam) because her test was right before mine.</p>
<p>3pt turn is like a K turn right? for turning 180 degrees</p>
<p>i had to parallel park, do a k turn out of that, and drive around the surrounding town (stopping a a traffic light, turning). it was a piece of cake- just be aware of massive slow moving lines at the dmv afterwards, one of my least favorite places- ever!</p>
<p>blind person= white cane... I know, my grandmother has one. my test (given by the school driver ed ppl) was pretty much driving around the block. no parking or anything of the sort. I know the one they give out at the dmv is a lot tougher in that they make you parallel park, and are a lot stricter with everything. the written part of the pa test you get to take before you get your permit, and I thought it was easy, as long as you studied the driver manual. anyway, my driver ed teacher's suggestion for going to the dmv was to get them either right away in the morning or right after lunch so they're not grumpy.</p>
<p>its a man walking with a white stick..thats the right answer</p>
<p>The difficulty (and what is tested) depends on the state.
Lionswim, did you not have to take the test because of driver's ed?
I took driver's ed and still have to take a road test.
The written test (for a permit) in NY is extremely easy, but the road test is not so easy...
I failed my first time :( and have been too traumatized to go back since. For the test, you have to do a couple of turns, K-turn and parallel park. You get points for mistakes and fail if you get more than 30.
I got 55 points in the first minute >.<</p>
<p>I don't have my license yet, but I'm interested to hear about the driving tests in other states. Here in Colorado, the test involves residential driving, changing lanes, different turns, but no parallel parking. You have to take driver's ed here just to get your permit (which is required if you want a license before you're 18), and of course my school district is too broke to offer it, so I had to take it privately. BLAH.</p>
<p>My school offered driver's ed but you have to pay $400 to take it. </p>
<p>I'm so jealous of all the people who don't have to parallel park, although...I didn't even get to that part because I had failed by then...</p>
<p>Funny story about blind people with white sticks (I'm sorry if this offends anybody). </p>
<p>When I was about 10, my mom was driving us downtown and I saw some guy with a white stick walking by the car dealership. I was sure that he was going to rob the dealership, so I told my mom she had to stop and call the police there was somebody with a stick about to rob the dealership. Luckily, she explained to me that blind people carry the white stick so that they can see, not so that they can beat up people or rob car dealerships.</p>
<p>I got my license in August (Georgia)</p>
<p>I was the last tester of the day so the woman was ready to go and she was rushing me...she didn't care if I did well or not...I just had to do the parallel parking, backed into some cones, and a road test through a quiet neighborhood...I didn't even get the entire car in the parallel parking space and had to try twice to back into the parking space without hitting a cone but still got a 95%</p>
<p>test was so easy for me (in CA). I only drove on surface residential streets - no parallel parking or three-point turns, etc. Only had to back up in a straight line for 50 feet or something. only thing I got marked down for was starting to turn the wheel at left turns before i started moving again... stupid rule, imo.
That was the one time I have ever in my life driven like that (by the law - 25 mph, full stops, etc.) lol. </p>
<p>I'm going to take my Ambulance Drivers test next week for my new job, and I've heard that the questions on that one are really stupid, like what is the minimum amount of tread that a tire should have - random stuff like that. But I guess it has to be stupid stuff because the law is so broad when dealing with emergency vehicles, and each company has their own rules about ambulance driving. But legally, there is so much leeway.</p>
<p>just to verify tthe ages, when i was in md to get your learners permit you have to be 15 and 9 months-must pass a written test, to get your license you have to be 16and 1 month-goto driving school,and pass driving test-3pt turn,parallel pk, go 30ft in reverse,and thats about it;i failed the written test(mc test) once b/c i didnt study and then came back the next day and passed, passed the road test in one try,drove my dads benz 350 sl roadster-very small yet fast car-
but the worst thing about getting a license was the wait to get the actual card, it took like almost 2 hrs, it was B.S. and the same thing to take the written test</p>
<p>wow in ky you have to be 16 to get your permit... you must pass a written test which i've heard is kind of difficult... then you must have your permit for 6 monthes and then pass the driving test which consist of 3pt turn, parallel parking and driving around downtown... most people fail their first time.... then within a year of having your lisence you must complete some course...</p>
<p>My driving test was very easy. All I remember doing was parallel parking and then driving around for a bit. I guess that is why so many students with their license couldn't drive and crashed their cars. Back then you only needed a permit for 30 days (the law has since changed to six months...Pennsylvania). My parents made me keep my permit for 14 months.....not because I couldn't drive. They simply didn't want to pay for my car insurance.</p>
<p>Ok, here are the KS license laws, because I think some of you might be surprised.</p>
<p>Age 14-Take a written test to get a permit OR take driver's ed and get a farm permit. Farm permits allow a kid to drive UNACCOMPANIED to school, work, and any farm related stuff.</p>
<p>Age 15-Take driver's ed and get a restricted. Kids can drive to school and work unaccompanied, but nowhere else and with no passengers except siblings and adults.</p>
<p>Age 16-Take driver's ed and get a regular license. If you already had a restricted, it becomes unrestricted on your birthday.</p>
<p>It's not unusual around here for farm kids to get cars for their 14th birthday.</p>
