Driving!

<p>Hah the mofo who was with me flunked me, the girl before me (she was crying...her 2nd time), this guy before her, and two of my friends (next day). He didn't appreciate my really tight ppark. What a bastard. I really hate this government monopoly on driving. DMV people are some of the laziest and uninformed people I have dealt with.</p>

<p>I failed so many times (4) im too scared to ever go back. So instead im going to get a 3 wheel car and just get a motorcycle lincense.</p>

<p>Incase you are wondering "god you must suck as a driver" actually the first time I took it I made a complete stop and I even stayed at the stop sign longer then most people would just incase then I was told by the instructor that I didnt stop and failed. After that every time I took I was real scared and shaky I almost felt sick. I am now at the point of never wanting to drive but I have to if I want to ever leave my house.</p>

<p>I understand how nerves get in the way. I was so scared during my test, even though I am a good driver. Go to the driving test area with a parent or a friend who has passed their road test. (I know this technically isn't allowed, but you've already been there 4 times. You know what to expect.) Go through the road test routine, maybe even at one point say everything aloud (Now as I come up to this stop sign I will come to a full and complete stop). The road test is like any other test-- you need to practice. Go through the motions of taking the test without having the actual instructor in the car until you feel confident that you can do it perfectly even with a DMV employee with you.</p>

<p>I got my liscense today. I still can't figure out how though. I messed up my parallel parking. The lady made me do it twice. The first time I totally screwed up. The second time I parked like 18" from the curb, but she let me off the hook. Before that, she got mad at me cuz I didn't look both ways for my k-turn. She told me that we were going to make this quick so that she could go home. </p>

<p>Whew! Thank God for having a 3:00 appointment.</p>

<p>We don't have to parallel park here in No'th Cackalackey..</p>

<p>Oh dear...
I failed my first test because I couldn't parallel park for crap. I ended up parallel parking on a pipe drain sticking out from the ground, and barely missing the police car that was parked behind me.</p>

<p>I passed the second time, and needless to say, I haven't reverse paralleled since then. </p>

<p>My advice: LOOK CAREFULLY FIRST to see if the cars in front/behind you are police cars. ><</p>

<p>We don't have to parallel park in Indianapolis either. So I'm gonna learn after I get my license in case I ever have to go downtown or move to NYC or something.</p>

<p>Failing Gail tried to have me parallel park right in front of a driveway because the street we were on was pretty congested, but then someone wanted to pull out of the driveway so she was like "Forget this" and we just skipped it.</p>
