@@xloltimex38 No that's my point. On the way to the test a parent or adult has to be in the car either way, so it's possible that licensed adult drove the person to the test rather than the person who took the test driving, meaning the testee wouldn't have been responsible for where they parked
Reminds me of a story told by my best friend. One of the guys at his driving school had his practical test and was waiting at a red light. Suddenly he slams the gas and shoots 20 feet ahead and right. When both the instructor and the tester started yelling, a 40 ton truck appeared from behind and didn't stop before it was several meters infront of the car, with smoking tires and the sound of burning brakes. If he didn't dodge this truck it would've hit them at about 25 mph and with that small car it would've been pretty bad for the tester in the backseat. After the test, he actually fell on his knees and thanked the dude for saving his life.
When I went to get my license and was about to pull out onto the road, my driver instructor told me to turn right. The parking lot pulls out onto a one-way two-lane road that only goes right, so I was surprised to hear him say this. When I said as much, he looked me dead in the eye and said, "Thank you for knowing that. I have to tell people that everyday because I've had to fail people for turning in the wrong direction."
i was almost failed in my driving test for not looking at all windows "enough", so the person grading me told me about that for about 5min, then, when i thought "just tell me i didnt pass", he said well done, here is your license...wtf
Same thing, my instructor told me all I did wrong, which made me feel down since I thought I failed, at the end she marked down my score, my first thought was wait that's below 35 (the failing point), and she congratulated me and I got my license and realized why she said those things.
On my motorbike test we'd only gone a few hundred metres down the road when there was a sudden torrential downpour. There was an inch of water on the road and my instructor signalled me to pull over. My brakes were wet and I went shooting passed him. He rode up and said let's go back. We went back carefully through the rain. I was sure I'd failed. But in the office, both of us soaking wet, he said, considering the conditions you did well. I'll give you a pass. Remember to lightly apply your brakes in the wet to dry them. After the rain had passed, with my new licence in my pocket, the instructors sitting outside around a table having lunch, I was trying to get my bike to start. It was an old kick-start. I was kicking, kicking, kicking. They were watching. Kicking isn't working, so I'm trying to push-start it, back and forth, back and forth. Then my instructor said, check the kill switch. It was off. Started first kick. They laughed. How stupid did I feel? :)
My A2 license test was the first time I'd gone over 50/55kmh on a motorcycle. Only ended up doing 70kmh too, since that was the speed limit. So far I've gotten up to around 105kmh since I'm now on a 125cc bike for cheaper insurance and fuel so that's where it tops out with me in full tuck and the throttle pinned haha. I was thankful there were 2 lanes on that road so I wasn't being dangerously overtaken (speed limit was around 110, so naturally everyone was doing 120+).
Yeah, my first bike struggled to do 90 against a stiff breeze with me lying on the tank. But I think it's better to learn on an under-powered bike than an over-powered one.
I failed my first driving test because the examiner was a new hire and wanted to give the area good scores by failing as many as possible by ANY tiny lil shit. I was out on country roads with only flat empty fields and empty roads(autumn, far away from everything) all around so i could see for miles in all directions. I was asked to turn around, drove in to a entry path to a field, and backed out to go back the way we came, found out later i failed because i "did not look around long enough" apperently, i only did a quick check before backing up since i already saw the road in both direction for miles before i made the turn into the field lol. Second try (like 1 week later) i got a new examiner who asked, "you know this, why did you fail?" and i told him and he was like "yeah she has almost a 100% fail rating". Even my driving instructor knew about her from other instructors in the school saying she failed everyone for silly stuff. -.-
When I was on my practice run the day before taking the official driving test, the owner of the driving school I attended told me about a girl he was training once who had reportedly stopped seemingly for no reason in the middle of the road. He asked her "Why did you stop?" She said "Look at the sign!" And she pointed to a *_Do not pass_* sign. "What about it?" "The sign says not to pass it, so I stopped to avoid passing it!" She, too, was on her practice run before her actual test.
I'm surprised that a few took 4 attempts or more without consequence. Where I live, if you fail the driving test three times, you have to get a mental health check.
The key to passing a driving test, I've found, is to suppress your bad driving habits long enough to get a pass. It was a lesson I learned from my older sister when she failed her driving test for rolling through every stop sign she came to.
When I was doing my 10 hours of on-the-road practice for my G2 in Ontario, my instructor's vehicle was an automatic. The car that I normally drive, my father's, is standard. I get in my instructors car, turn it on, and pull out from the parking spot. A few seconds later, I begin to shift into second gear. Instead, I slammed on the brakes, and scared the shit out of the instructor. Took me a few to realize that I was still acting as if it were standard.
kostas0176 fast is a relative term, in most places that is fast, but that’s because most places aren’t rural roads where you can do 100 for 30 min and only pass 2 farm houses
Had my practical test last week. Went without flaws, apart from the fact I misinterpreted 2 times where the examiner wanted me to park back at the traffic station (a spot by a tree, but there were 3 trees by 3 parking spots, so I had to guess which one it was) He made a witty remark on how it would be silly to fail me for parking in the wrong spot. After I parked for the third time, he shook my hand, congratulated me and went back inside the traffic station.
in my area we have signs that come up with a smiley face when you’re under the speed limit and a “SLOW DOWN” if you’re above it my driving instructor told me about one of her students that was pulled over and given a speeding ticket because “She wanted to try and get a frowny face”
When I went for my road test I had asked my instructor about his worst student. He had a guy who past the test, got his probationary license (nj you drive with restrictions for 1 year) and immediately picked up like 5 friends (youre only allowed one in car during the 1st year) then crashed the car while speeding, with most not wearing seat belts. This all happened less than an hour after he got he license. Safe to say he lost he license.
As a CDL driver for about 3 years now, I'm surprised the driving laws in the US don't force drivers to need to at least pick up a new Drivers handbook from the DMV every year. There are about 70% of drivers that should not be allowed to drive in California alone, and most of them don't know current laws because the last time they were informed of driving laws was 20+ years ago. I mean, most people don't realize a Bus or Hazmat driver MUST stop at all RR crossings, with Hazard lights on, and do a small D-Check. Takes 5s, doesn't stop people from almost rearending my bus every time.
Friend of mines dad went for his test when he was 16. Pulled out out of the RTA parking lot and started down the road. About 200m down the road was behind a semi-trailer as its load shifted and the truck fliped. Dad had parked the car, gotten out and ran to assist the truck driver before the instructor had really registered what was happening. Got a pass on his test and a case of beer from the truckie.
It amazes me how incompetent some people are. The first time I had ever driven, or even sat in the drivers seat, my instructor had me go on to the highway and had me go almost an hour across state, with no previous experience, and I did perfectly fine.
Not a driving test. My dad was a Certified Flight Instructor. He was teaching a student once, practice landing. At one point he was too high in the pattern and asked the student to perform a slide-slip. In a side-slip the pilot adds rudder, turning the plane a bit sideways to the direction of travel. This dramatically increases drag allowing the pilot to lose altitude without gaining too much speed. Unfortunately this student performed a snap roll instead. It would have been fine if the student had continued the roll to completion but after flipping the plane up-side-down the pilot panicked and let the controls go. The airplane was low to the ground, going slow and was inverted. The nose of the plane fell rapidly until it was pointed straight at the wheat field 900 feet below. Dad pulled up as hard as he dared knowing that pulling too hard would stall the plane and they would crash. Not pulling hard enough would result in the plane hitting the ground before pulling level. Very bad in either case. They never actually hit but after landing they found wheat in the tail and the propeller tips were green. Another time, I was talking a flying lesson with my dad. We were going to be practicing engine failures so he told me what to do when the engine quits. The leading cause of engine failure is accidentally retarding the throttle, so the very first item on the check list is "Check throttle" To simulate an engine failure the instructor just retards the throttle to idle. After all, you should avoid shutting the engine off in flight. So I'm flying along and I watch the throttle lever slide back and hear my dad say, "Your engine has failed. Deal with it." I pulled out the check list and then just advanced the throttle again. I was trying to be a smart ass, but it turns out, that was exactly what I should have done. Later on that flight we had a real engine failure, but fortunately we were already heading back and I had turned onto final a bit too high when the engine quit. I thought it was another simulated failure until my dad said, "I have the plane." We made a smooth dead-stick landing. Fun fact, "dead stick" doesn't refer to the control stick. It comes from the days when propellers were made of wood, so the "dead stick" is the propeller.
Driving Instructor: Okay. Now pass one turn in and enter the DMV parking lot. Me: Ah. That must mean the second entrance in that parking lot. DI: What are you doing!? Turn in now. Me: *Clips the sidewalk sharply turning into the first entrance of the parking lot* DI: I'm counting that as an accident meaning you failed. Me: WTF?! Maybe if your instructors were more clear.
I thought green light automatically meant you could make a left turn so when I didn’t yield for a car at the final turn of the test, I failed. He said it would have been a horrible accident. I cried
I put my car in drive, realized it wasn't on, tryed to start it and it made a horrible noise. Put it in park, started it, then started my test. I quite literally went around two blocks. Pulled out the parking lot and drove to the stop sign. My entire test was "pull up to the stop sign, now turn right." I drove up to 4 stop signs and turned right, before parking. (Not even parallel parking, just normal. I got told I went a little slow but that was it.
I once failed to get my P1 plates (NSW driver goes from L - Learner; requires a full-license owner in the passenger seat to direct; P1 - can drive on their own, but is limited to 90 kph; P2 - limited to 100 kph; full license) because on the return to the Roads and Maritime Services place a person sprinted out onto a crosswalk right in front of me, and I had to break suddenly. I failed due to something out of my control; that was annoying.
People can get brain farts. Or straight up misconceptions in their brains. My daughter, whom I trained for many hours, and at the time already had her licence, was driving me to my work (she needed my car that day, haven't got her own yet). She treated an unregulated left turn pocket as if it were stop, and started to make the turn in front of approaching vehicles. I shouted her to stop and wait for the traffic to pass. Had The Talk about right of way on different types of intersections.
I used to work in a nursing home, and when I was taking driving lessons, one lady told me she hit a policeman on a crossing on her test. Needless to say she didn't pass
In case you ever do something stupid in driver's test (A.K.A. running a stop sign on a 4-way stop) just say very specific things showing you did that because you already knew it was ok while showing you're completily correct and/or oblivious.
I'm not even surprised at the stop sign story. I live in Arizona and I swear to Christ NO ONE knows what the fuck to do at a 4 way stop. They're just not common out here in general save for residential areas, so people freak out or just don't know who's turn it is and do basically the driving equivalent of when you're walking towards someone and you try to move out of the way but then they move into your way and you have that awkward dance with each other trying to step out of each other's ways. Also roundabouts, we have like zero of those here as well, except apparently on the way to Sedona there's a stretch of like 6 in a row. It got kinda old after a while.
21:29 They have a similar rule here in Ontario, Canada. Before you can get your full driver's license, you need to have driven on a 400-series highway, which includes the single busiest, widest and most dangerous highway in the world, the 401, for a distance of over fifteen kilometres within a few weeks of taking the test. During the test, you have to successfully merge onto the highway, drive on there for a stretch, and get off safely.
Father in law was a driving instructor. Was asked to sit in on the test. Student answered her phone during the test. Told her mum thanks for the good luck but she's currently on her test. He couldn't believe it. Safe to say instant fail.
I fucked up parallel parking and signaling while backing around a corner, still pass. I don't always do rolling stops, but when the intersection is still a couple feet beyond the stop sign, it isn't something I actively avoid xD
Happened in my town when I pulled up to the 3 way intersection. An Driver's Education car was in the ditch, through a big wooden sign and chain-link fence. The teacher was red as a tomato, giving the student "the look" the student driver was on their phone texting standing outside the car, you can pretty much guess how they manage to run right through the intersection into the airport. Another reason not to text and drive. Your not allowed to do it at all while testing so my guess was they started texting as soon as they got to the intersection. The type of cars they have don't have the greatest brakes so the engine can overpower them if you lay into the throttle (I've driven the same car), my guess was the engine overpowered the brakes and the instructor couldn't stop the car. Or he assumed the student was going to slow for the turn.
When I was at driving school, a girl just unutilized a whole frontal panel trying to turn off the blinkers, apparently she was forcing it up and down and inside... ended up breaking the plastic. The instructor was at fault for not stopping her and had the repair taken on his paycheck, unless he wanted to get fired. I also failed twice, it's all fun and great at the lessons, but the test... I was doing good, but then I literally just barely scraped the curb with the back tire when parking, big F for me. Second time I was so nervous I botched everything, hit the parking pole, instantly failed, at least they were good sports about it. Three times a charm, more calm and experienced and passed like a pro, talking the whole way with the inspector, no notes, no faults, perfect driving!
In my state hitting the parking polls is an instant fail, but so long as you don't end up on the sidewalk you can hit the curb as much as you want! A couple years after I took the test the dropped the parallel parking requirement entirely!
I had a classmate who, for whatever reason, was allowed to use the driving school car's parking assist (you use throttle and brake, the car does the steering for you) for the lessons. For the test, the examiner told the teacher to turn the system off (logically) when they were all in the car. Classmate is supposed to park, pulls up to a spot, puts it in revers, and confidently rams it into the car behind the spot. He was certain that the instructor had been joking with the teacher, and that the car still would steer for him.
I'm 34, when I was 17 I took the test in Chicago in my dad's 1991 Ford tempo ( a real pile of shit) with no ac. my father is frugal to put it nicely. It was 95 degrees and humid. The guy giving me my test was a 350+ black guy. We pull out of the parking lot he says"we ain't going nowhere until you put the AC on" I said it didn't have any" he said "hell naw you passed let's go back, tell you daddy he needs air conditioning!" I no shit got my license after making 2 turns thanks to my dad's car being to shitty lol
So for starters I have some pretty bad PTSD when it comes to being on/near the road - was a Pedestrian when hit - so I'd like to say what happened it pretty understandable given the circumstances. I think this was my 4th or 5th drive with this particular instructor - whose name was Karen wouldn't you know -? And because I was so terrified I was constantly asking for confirmation/saying I'm sorry every chance I got. So we're going up an uphill road and a bus just so happens to be stopped at a bus stop a little ways ahead of me. Given that I wasn't really used to changing lanes yet - much less while at a relatively slow speed - and still absolutely terrified I decided it would be a better course of action to just wait a hot second for the bus to move rather than go 'round it. Well, I stop... and what do I hear? "WHY ARE WE STOPPED?!" I nearly jumped out of my seat. So now I'm crying and doing my damndest to pull around this bus while also having a Karen screaming in my ear and berating me.I'm honestly so terrified I don't hear a word she's saying, all I know is that she's yelling at me. Finally having enough - and also having dealt with similar situations in previous drives with Karen - I scream back at her: "I'M SORRY!!!". She still won't stop, now drilling into me about authority and how I can't yell at a teacher. I've told her multiple times now about my PTSD btw. So we're finally heading back to my house and there are two roads branching off of the main road that you can take to get to my street - one leads you directly to my house, the other you have to go around a corner - and given how much she's yelling at me and DISTRACTING me I don't realize how little I've slowed down and end up briefly on the curb - she grabbed the wheel. I'll never forget that look on her face. It was like a dog baring their teeth - so now I have her harassing me and I'm absolutely unconsolable given the shock of going over the curb. We changed instructor's shortly after this. Die in a fire, Karen.
7:45 In a case like this the examiner would not enter a grade because the test was not complete. The testee would be able to return and take the test again.
1:39 I had a roundabout built near me about a year ago and it had a grass mound. My family was familiar with roundabouts already so driving around it was no problem but seeing the other drivers drive it was a nightmare. They got better but one day we notice tire tracks on the grass part in the middle. I haven't seen it happen but I would have honked if I was there.
When I went to get my license, a girl and her father were there studying the book up until she took the written test and failed. 50 questions. If you miss 5, you fail. Never studied and had only drove maybe a couple hours max. Missed 4 around question 38 and sniped the last 12. Shit was ridiculous. EDIT: JFTR, passed my driving test first try as well.
This reminds me why I prefer to ride a bike. Not a motorized one, mind you (though, I think I shall prefer this over cars). I am used to low-trafic, rural roads where I can go off like whatever, and even in worst-case-scenarios: Bike's weight cannot kill me; running into obstacle cannot kill me, hitting other traffic-parties cannot kill them, getting hit by something heavier is (by my countrie's law) completely their problem, not mine (except for some pain, maybe, but as worst case-scenarios go: When I am dead, I cannot care much -- the only accidents I ever had where: testing the breaks (they worked, and I flew over the steering rod); running into a tree at walking-speed (don't text and drive); hitting a boulder with a peddal, flying over the steering rod again, but made it to the job-interview just fine). So....yay being hyperkinetic? Close calles included: falling off of a pedal thanks to road-hiccup; a car pulling 270° in front of me, which ended with me in front of them, and three persons angry at each other (the driver in front of me at me for existing; the driver behind me at me for for pulling an emergency-break; me at the driver in front of me for being a neglectfull a-hole); sandsurfing (somewhat like aquaplaning, but actually enjoyable), and a wild sow with her children on a (nearly-)collision-course with me. Luckilly, they steered away. And they were sooooo cute...
There's a girl who bribed the instructor and passed when she fucked up the hill test and crashed into 3 car behind her because she walked out of the car without pulling the handbrake and she panicked that the car stalled on 1st gear.
I passed on my 4th time. I had the same examiner the first 3 times. On my 4th attempt the city I was meant to drive in had a pile up so we went around the rural outskirts where there was almost no traffic. I held a grudge against my first examiner for failing me so many times (the 2nd wasn't my fault, he didn't intervene and there was no accident), but after I passed I was actually grateful he failed me the first few times. I admit I wasn't ready and if he passed me earlier, I'd probably get into an accident within weeks. It's been over 3 years since I passed, not even a parking ticket on my record.
I'm taking my second attempt at a driving test next Thursday and here I am getting anxiety from this video. If anybody's curious, first time I failed was because I accidentally pulled out onto a roundabout when a car was approaching and so the examiner had to slam on the brakes. To this day I still ducking hate roundabouts
I don't know why people hate roundabouts. Give way to the right (left, in the USA) and give way to any vehicles already in the roundabout. Not very complicated. But then, I see so many people who don't obey those simple rules, so perhaps I'm missing something (like, the fact that half the people driving are below average intelligence...) ;)
Not me, but I know this one guy who attended driving school for years and up to this point still have not passed the tests, at some point he got his instructor arrested and at some point his intructor tried to steal his car.
We drove on the autobahn and my instructor said, Step on the gas, go as fast as you like and feel save. well, I drove 220kmh (136mph). Thats the max of the car and it felt great xD
On my first time behind the wheel (except for moving and old pickup around my grandpa's property where I almost never used the gas or got to 5mph) I was passing by a small hospital/rehab center where a little girl started to dart into the street. When I saw her I was only about half a car length away, as she was between two cars, and immediately went to brake. The only casualty was my heart as it had lept up into my throat. The instructor seemingly didn't notice as he never mentioned it.
These stories make me glad that the worst I did on my own license test was to fail twice for parallel parking and once for the three point turn, then passed the fourth time
My driving test was super easy. Since I was last one to go, my examiner was like super tired or something, because we was just talking about his kids. And didnt even had to park or anything. Just went on the main road around the city. And than back to the gas station where i was starting. Easiest driving test ever. But at my practice ride I almost got obliterated by a truck when I was on the roundabout and had to slow down and let me go freerly. He didnt and we stoped like 3cm from ourselvs. That was super scary.
I was in front of a school, as it was letting out. Kid ran right in front of me from between two busses. I still can’t believe I didn’t hit him. I started laughing and asked if I pass?
My brother couldn’t take his g test cause he hadn’t been on the highway in the last 3 months. I passed both my road tests the first time round but for the second one I went up on the curb when parallel parking and nearly hit a pedestrian.
In germany we can't possably fail, because the instructor normaly knows the testing procedur and runs you through it until you feel fine. What is easier than a test you know the answers to? That's how my friends and I established: The driving test is a basic IQ test.
I already knew how to drive before I was out of middle school, was taught by dad, so drivers ed was no problem at all to pass but during 1 driving session my teacher (had to have been the oldest man on school staff) fell asleep in the middle of the lesson, once I noticed I just drove around randomly til it was time to go back, once back I woke him up after parking outside the school, he woke in a slight panic but noticed we're sadly back he just looked at me and said "good job"
the last one... 200km per hour... i cant even imagine ever driving that fast... fuck that is terrifying. the fastest i have ever driven was 160km and i was like "oh shit im going waaaayyy too fast" and i had to slow down. jesus christ, germany
I really don't want to spread stereotypes or misinformation, but a friend of mine said that one of the reasons Asian drivers have a bad reputation is because in Asian countries, the test to get your driving license isn't a written and practical combo. If I remember him correctly he said that it's more like a written test and then you pay a fee and you pass. Apparently a lot of Asian immigrants aren't used to the idea of paying to take a test but not being guaranteed a license just because you paid a fee and took the test. It causes a lot of confusion when the dmv has to tell Asian immigrants that they performed poorly on the test, and therefore were not being issued a license even though they paid a fee.
15:35 In Germany, to avoid just that, the motorbike-license is in several levels, dictated by power output (and/or displacement). So when it's your first license, you only get small motorbikes, something like 50 or 80ccm
I got my driving license on a 90cc bike/scooter. Used it for years. Max speed was around 60Kph, but it got me to and from casual work while I was otherwise unemployed. Eventually got my car license, first try. Hated driving at night for quite a while, but got used to it eventually. Exactly one two-car collision in 30 years of driving - a parking lot fender-bender which was my fault. Good thing I've always had insurance.
I still remember when I was taking driver's ed the instructor asked me how much experience I've had. I told him I had been driving for over a year taken several long road trips with my dad where we split the driving. He directed me out of the parking lot and almost immediately had me get on the highway! Course I was telling the truth about my experience, but he didn't know that!
Those sound like really weird driving exams. They are okay with people using their own cars, but not okay with them not turning the engine on right from the start?
Had a friend who drove on the opposite side of the road on his first try, on his second try he blew a yellow light when he had plenty of distance, on his thrird try of getting his licence the lady said she felt bad and passed him
Turned right on a red light after coming to a full stop and looking both ways. But I live in Montreal. Apparently such dangerous manoeuvres are frowned upon here.
Literally tested today, ironic. Also my drivers instructor told me she once had someone who didn’t know their left from right, and would constantly hold her hands up to make an L with both, seeing which was right and which one was left. After being told she couldn’t do that, she came in the next day with L and R written on her hands in marker.
My instructor told me to turn into a intersection that was already backed up through the intersection. So I turned and was sitting in on coming traffic.
How about being the driving test guy when the Hensel twins showed up? (Conjoined twins -- one body, two heads. They divide the duties by who controls which side of the body.) th-cam.com/video/lzAaKeGBvJE/w-d-xo.html Which reminds me: Why did the conjoined twins go to England? So the other one could drive.
Almost drove off the road Stay to close to the edge and as my driver instructor said my tires on my passenger side were not on the road And He also said i drove like an old man because i drove so slow because driving terrifies me greatly Long story short i passed on my second attempt and hate to drive still
@@TheGameMage_ I'm sorry to hear that man. Driving can be real tough on some people. While I enjoy driving I realise it must be very difficult to get into the driver seat after that
My drivingteacher told me he had a girl breaking from 130 to 0 km/h on the autobahn (greetings from germany!) in front of a big tunnel cause she was claustrophobic. He was fucking terrified.
This song that plays has a woman quietly singing in the background made me think there was an mosquito nearby stayed stressed. As i was ready to catch it.
Instead of just saying 7th I'll entertain you fellow commenters of how I failed my 1st driving test. My driving instructor was a 350-ish pound woman, and here in Florida you drive your own car (parent's). This massive woman could barely get the seatbelt on (if she were 5 pounds heavier she wouldn't have been able to use the seatbelt). I failed the test for a good reason. I couldn't see around her so I couldn't see oncoming traffic and ended up pulling out in front of a passing car. I was pretty upset that I failed. I passed on my second try. The fact that I had a thin driving instructor helped.
In the UK I'm fairly sure dual control cars have a brake and clutch pedal on the other side, but not an accelerator. Could be wrong though. It's been a long time since I was last in one
reminds me that one day i was in the schoolbus and something hit the rear of the said bus i was in. it was a girl in her final driving test, she and the instructor were in a small nissan car. it got totaled and she didn't get her liscence
We can all agree that driving tests in Europe, for example Germany are better than American. The instructor has pedals oh his side, we are comfortable driving fast, know how to drive properly, the downside here are the never working indicators on bmw's
I have yet to take my licence test, however, I think it will go pretty good so long as the car functions properly. I have driven on the interstate numerous times, driven in horrible traffic conditions, and I have never been pulled over. My only fear is that for the "written" (20 multiple choice questions) test, there will be obscure questions that would even confuse a cop. I plan to take it next month in fact. Wish me luck!
1:00 Well, the examiner knew it was an accident. I was walking through the shop at work once (I was a welder) and my boss was showing a visitor (customer?) around the shop. I was going to pass right next to them and my boss had his back to me. Just as I passed my boss went to point something out to his guest and his hand collided hard with my mouth. I was badly stunned and just kind of sat/fell down. My lip was split open and I started bleeding like crazy. Blood dripped down into my leathers and my boss looked horrified about what had happened. Keep in mind, the guy was a bit of a jerk, but I'd had worse bosses. Even so the guy wasn't the type to punch people in the face.
Well he just accidently hurt one of his own employees think most bosses would be terrified of that. Also due to your damages you cant really work I mean bleeding all over the place. It's bad for both you and the boss

@@xloltimex38 no
@@xloltimex38 No that's my point. On the way to the test a parent or adult has to be in the car either way, so it's possible that licensed adult drove the person to the test rather than the person who took the test driving, meaning the testee wouldn't have been responsible for where they parked
Reminds me of a story told by my best friend. One of the guys at his driving school had his practical test and was waiting at a red light.
Suddenly he slams the gas and shoots 20 feet ahead and right. When both the instructor and the tester started yelling, a 40 ton truck appeared from behind and didn't stop before it was several meters infront of the car, with smoking tires and the sound of burning brakes. If he didn't dodge this truck it would've hit them at about 25 mph and with that small car it would've been pretty bad for the tester in the backseat.
After the test, he actually fell on his knees and thanked the dude for saving his life.
That's pretty incredible
And everyone clapped
Got docked on driving test for taking hand off steering wheel. I was driving a standard with a short first gear
F
I got docked for going too slow on an icy road. I was only doing 5 under
Now imagine getting docked for crossing your hands while turning
@@codkiller2025 wow, normally people do half the speed limit when road conditions are bad
@@codkiller2025 how dare you be smart and show you are not reckless!!!
When I went to get my license and was about to pull out onto the road, my driver instructor told me to turn right. The parking lot pulls out onto a one-way two-lane road that only goes right, so I was surprised to hear him say this. When I said as much, he looked me dead in the eye and said, "Thank you for knowing that. I have to tell people that everyday because I've had to fail people for turning in the wrong direction."
i was almost failed in my driving test for not looking at all windows "enough", so the person grading me told me about that for about 5min, then, when i thought "just tell me i didnt pass", he said well done, here is your license...wtf
Same thing, my instructor told me all I did wrong, which made me feel down since I thought I failed, at the end she marked down my score, my first thought was wait that's below 35 (the failing point), and she congratulated me and I got my license and realized why she said those things.
Same
Paralleled parked into a snowbank and got stuck, dude testing me had to help me out of it, still passed
On my motorbike test we'd only gone a few hundred metres down the road when there was a sudden torrential downpour. There was an inch of water on the road and my instructor signalled me to pull over. My brakes were wet and I went shooting passed him. He rode up and said let's go back. We went back carefully through the rain. I was sure I'd failed. But in the office, both of us soaking wet, he said, considering the conditions you did well. I'll give you a pass. Remember to lightly apply your brakes in the wet to dry them.
After the rain had passed, with my new licence in my pocket, the instructors sitting outside around a table having lunch, I was trying to get my bike to start. It was an old kick-start. I was kicking, kicking, kicking. They were watching. Kicking isn't working, so I'm trying to push-start it, back and forth, back and forth. Then my instructor said, check the kill switch. It was off. Started first kick. They laughed. How stupid did I feel? :)
My A2 license test was the first time I'd gone over 50/55kmh on a motorcycle. Only ended up doing 70kmh too, since that was the speed limit. So far I've gotten up to around 105kmh since I'm now on a 125cc bike for cheaper insurance and fuel so that's where it tops out with me in full tuck and the throttle pinned haha. I was thankful there were 2 lanes on that road so I wasn't being dangerously overtaken (speed limit was around 110, so naturally everyone was doing 120+).
Yeah, my first bike struggled to do 90 against a stiff breeze with me lying on the tank. But I think it's better to learn on an under-powered bike than an over-powered one.
I failed my first driving test because the examiner was a new hire and wanted to give the area good scores by failing as many as possible by ANY tiny lil shit. I was out on country roads with only flat empty fields and empty roads(autumn, far away from everything) all around so i could see for miles in all directions. I was asked to turn around, drove in to a entry path to a field, and backed out to go back the way we came, found out later i failed because i "did not look around long enough" apperently, i only did a quick check before backing up since i already saw the road in both direction for miles before i made the turn into the field lol.
Second try (like 1 week later) i got a new examiner who asked, "you know this, why did you fail?" and i told him and he was like "yeah she has almost a 100% fail rating". Even my driving instructor knew about her from other instructors in the school saying she failed everyone for silly stuff. -.-
When I was on my practice run the day before taking the official driving test, the owner of the driving school I attended told me about a girl he was training once who had reportedly stopped seemingly for no reason in the middle of the road.
He asked her "Why did you stop?"
She said "Look at the sign!" And she pointed to a *_Do not pass_* sign.
"What about it?"
"The sign says not to pass it, so I stopped to avoid passing it!"
She, too, was on her practice run before her actual test.
When I started taking driving classes I learned that you have to watch more about other's driving than yours.
I'm surprised that a few took 4 attempts or more without consequence. Where I live, if you fail the driving test three times, you have to get a mental health check.
@@fabiteck6653 That's interesting, where do you live? Here in Brazil I've heard people that failed 3, 4, 7 even 9 times.
The key to passing a driving test, I've found, is to suppress your bad driving habits long enough to get a pass. It was a lesson I learned from my older sister when she failed her driving test for rolling through every stop sign she came to.
11:14
But did she pass?
Yes and no
Morbidly hillarious
When I was doing my 10 hours of on-the-road practice for my G2 in Ontario, my instructor's vehicle was an automatic. The car that I normally drive, my father's, is standard. I get in my instructors car, turn it on, and pull out from the parking spot. A few seconds later, I begin to shift into second gear. Instead, I slammed on the brakes, and scared the shit out of the instructor. Took me a few to realize that I was still acting as if it were standard.
imagine going 55mph and thinking it's really fast
If you never driven that fast before... its pretty damn fast...
The faster I went on my driving classes was less than 35 mph and that felt a little fast.
@Honk Honkler what country do you live in?
That depends..if it's a parking lot, that quite fast
kostas0176 fast is a relative term, in most places that is fast, but that’s because most places aren’t rural roads where you can do 100 for 30 min and only pass 2 farm houses
Had my practical test last week. Went without flaws, apart from the fact I misinterpreted 2 times where the examiner wanted me to park back at the traffic station (a spot by a tree, but there were 3 trees by 3 parking spots, so I had to guess which one it was) He made a witty remark on how it would be silly to fail me for parking in the wrong spot. After I parked for the third time, he shook my hand, congratulated me and went back inside the traffic station.
Had an instructor at my school one of the drivers ed teachers fell asleep while a student was driving went from south part of delaware to wilmington
in my area we have signs that come up with a smiley face when you’re under the speed limit and a “SLOW DOWN” if you’re above it
my driving instructor told me about one of her students that was pulled over and given a speeding ticket because “She wanted to try and get a frowny face”
yeah, not a great idea for a sign
I have these in my area and they have frowny faces.
2:25 my driving instructor actually joked about needing a gas pedal in the student cars because new drivers hesitate too much
When I went for my road test I had asked my instructor about his worst student. He had a guy who past the test, got his probationary license (nj you drive with restrictions for 1 year) and immediately picked up like 5 friends (youre only allowed one in car during the 1st year) then crashed the car while speeding, with most not wearing seat belts. This all happened less than an hour after he got he license. Safe to say he lost he license.
As a CDL driver for about 3 years now, I'm surprised the driving laws in the US don't force drivers to need to at least pick up a new Drivers handbook from the DMV every year. There are about 70% of drivers that should not be allowed to drive in California alone, and most of them don't know current laws because the last time they were informed of driving laws was 20+ years ago.
I mean, most people don't realize a Bus or Hazmat driver MUST stop at all RR crossings, with Hazard lights on, and do a small D-Check. Takes 5s, doesn't stop people from almost rearending my bus every time.
Friend of mines dad went for his test when he was 16.
Pulled out out of the RTA parking lot and started down the road. About 200m down the road was behind a semi-trailer as its load shifted and the truck fliped.
Dad had parked the car, gotten out and ran to assist the truck driver before the instructor had really registered what was happening. Got a pass on his test and a case of beer from the truckie.
It amazes me how incompetent some people are. The first time I had ever driven, or even sat in the drivers seat, my instructor had me go on to the highway and had me go almost an hour across state, with no previous experience, and I did perfectly fine.
Not a driving test. My dad was a Certified Flight Instructor. He was teaching a student once, practice landing. At one point he was too high in the pattern and asked the student to perform a slide-slip. In a side-slip the pilot adds rudder, turning the plane a bit sideways to the direction of travel. This dramatically increases drag allowing the pilot to lose altitude without gaining too much speed.
Unfortunately this student performed a snap roll instead. It would have been fine if the student had continued the roll to completion but after flipping the plane up-side-down the pilot panicked and let the controls go.
The airplane was low to the ground, going slow and was inverted. The nose of the plane fell rapidly until it was pointed straight at the wheat field 900 feet below.
Dad pulled up as hard as he dared knowing that pulling too hard would stall the plane and they would crash. Not pulling hard enough would result in the plane hitting the ground before pulling level. Very bad in either case.
They never actually hit but after landing they found wheat in the tail and the propeller tips were green.
Another time, I was talking a flying lesson with my dad. We were going to be practicing engine failures so he told me what to do when the engine quits.
The leading cause of engine failure is accidentally retarding the throttle, so the very first item on the check list is "Check throttle"
To simulate an engine failure the instructor just retards the throttle to idle. After all, you should avoid shutting the engine off in flight.
So I'm flying along and I watch the throttle lever slide back and hear my dad say, "Your engine has failed. Deal with it."
I pulled out the check list and then just advanced the throttle again. I was trying to be a smart ass, but it turns out, that was exactly what I should have done.
Later on that flight we had a real engine failure, but fortunately we were already heading back and I had turned onto final a bit too high when the engine quit. I thought it was another simulated failure until my dad said, "I have the plane."
We made a smooth dead-stick landing.
Fun fact, "dead stick" doesn't refer to the control stick. It comes from the days when propellers were made of wood, so the "dead stick" is the propeller.
Driving Instructor: Okay. Now pass one turn in and enter the DMV parking lot.
Me: Ah. That must mean the second entrance in that parking lot.
DI: What are you doing!? Turn in now.
Me: *Clips the sidewalk sharply turning into the first entrance of the parking lot*
DI: I'm counting that as an accident meaning you failed.
Me: WTF?! Maybe if your instructors were more clear.
I thought green light automatically meant you could make a left turn so when I didn’t yield for a car at the final turn of the test, I failed. He said it would have been a horrible accident. I cried
I put my car in drive, realized it wasn't on, tryed to start it and it made a horrible noise. Put it in park, started it, then started my test. I quite literally went around two blocks. Pulled out the parking lot and drove to the stop sign. My entire test was "pull up to the stop sign, now turn right." I drove up to 4 stop signs and turned right, before parking. (Not even parallel parking, just normal. I got told I went a little slow but that was it.
1:23 name the kid Carson
ew puns
Hahaha nice
Instructor: Go straight at the roundabout.
Student: (starts driving over the roundabout)
Acoustic guitar playing as the instructor explains,
Beat drops and scene freezes when the student guns it and pops the curb 😂
I once failed to get my P1 plates (NSW driver goes from L - Learner; requires a full-license owner in the passenger seat to direct; P1 - can drive on their own, but is limited to 90 kph; P2 - limited to 100 kph; full license) because on the return to the Roads and Maritime Services place a person sprinted out onto a crosswalk right in front of me, and I had to break suddenly.
I failed due to something out of my control; that was annoying.

People can get brain farts. Or straight up misconceptions in their brains.
My daughter, whom I trained for many hours, and at the time already had her licence, was driving me to my work (she needed my car that day, haven't got her own yet). She treated an unregulated left turn pocket as if it were stop, and started to make the turn in front of approaching vehicles. I shouted her to stop and wait for the traffic to pass. Had The Talk about right of way on different types of intersections.
I used to work in a nursing home, and when I was taking driving lessons, one lady told me she hit a policeman on a crossing on her test.
Needless to say she didn't pass
Well, some people just aren't born to have a wheel in their hands
In case you ever do something stupid in driver's test (A.K.A. running a stop sign on a 4-way stop) just say very specific things showing you did that because you already knew it was ok while showing you're completily correct and/or oblivious.
If you can't read the language of where you're trying to drive you probably shouldn't be driving cuz all those signs are in that language
I'm not even surprised at the stop sign story. I live in Arizona and I swear to Christ NO ONE knows what the fuck to do at a 4 way stop. They're just not common out here in general save for residential areas, so people freak out or just don't know who's turn it is and do basically the driving equivalent of when you're walking towards someone and you try to move out of the way but then they move into your way and you have that awkward dance with each other trying to step out of each other's ways. Also roundabouts, we have like zero of those here as well, except apparently on the way to Sedona there's a stretch of like 6 in a row. It got kinda old after a while.
21:29 They have a similar rule here in Ontario, Canada. Before you can get your full driver's license, you need to have driven on a 400-series highway, which includes the single busiest, widest and most dangerous highway in the world, the 401, for a distance of over fifteen kilometres within a few weeks of taking the test. During the test, you have to successfully merge onto the highway, drive on there for a stretch, and get off safely.
Father in law was a driving instructor. Was asked to sit in on the test. Student answered her phone during the test. Told her mum thanks for the good luck but she's currently on her test.
He couldn't believe it. Safe to say instant fail.
I fucked up parallel parking and signaling while backing around a corner, still pass. I don't always do rolling stops, but when the intersection is still a couple feet beyond the stop sign, it isn't something I actively avoid xD
Happened in my town when I pulled up to the 3 way intersection. An Driver's Education car was in the ditch, through a big wooden sign and chain-link fence. The teacher was red as a tomato, giving the student "the look" the student driver was on their phone texting standing outside the car, you can pretty much guess how they manage to run right through the intersection into the airport. Another reason not to text and drive. Your not allowed to do it at all while testing so my guess was they started texting as soon as they got to the intersection. The type of cars they have don't have the greatest brakes so the engine can overpower them if you lay into the throttle (I've driven the same car), my guess was the engine overpowered the brakes and the instructor couldn't stop the car. Or he assumed the student was going to slow for the turn.
I'm surprised by the amount of "I forgot to turn the engine on" posts.
When I was at driving school, a girl just unutilized a whole frontal panel trying to turn off the blinkers, apparently she was forcing it up and down and inside... ended up breaking the plastic. The instructor was at fault for not stopping her and had the repair taken on his paycheck, unless he wanted to get fired. I also failed twice, it's all fun and great at the lessons, but the test... I was doing good, but then I literally just barely scraped the curb with the back tire when parking, big F for me. Second time I was so nervous I botched everything, hit the parking pole, instantly failed, at least they were good sports about it. Three times a charm, more calm and experienced and passed like a pro, talking the whole way with the inspector, no notes, no faults, perfect driving!
In my state hitting the parking polls is an instant fail, but so long as you don't end up on the sidewalk you can hit the curb as much as you want! A couple years after I took the test the dropped the parallel parking requirement entirely!
I had a classmate who, for whatever reason, was allowed to use the driving school car's parking assist (you use throttle and brake, the car does the steering for you) for the lessons.
For the test, the examiner told the teacher to turn the system off (logically) when they were all in the car.
Classmate is supposed to park, pulls up to a spot, puts it in revers, and confidently rams it into the car behind the spot.
He was certain that the instructor had been joking with the teacher, and that the car still would steer for him.

Driving school cars in areas with bad drivers have leather seats.
Not for style, but because you can wipe them down.
I'm 34, when I was 17 I took the test in Chicago in my dad's 1991 Ford tempo ( a real pile of shit) with no ac. my father is frugal to put it nicely. It was 95 degrees and humid. The guy giving me my test was a 350+ black guy. We pull out of the parking lot he says"we ain't going nowhere until you put the AC on" I said it didn't have any" he said "hell naw you passed let's go back, tell you daddy he needs air conditioning!" I no shit got my license after making 2 turns thanks to my dad's car being to shitty lol
So for starters I have some pretty bad PTSD when it comes to being on/near the road - was a Pedestrian when hit - so I'd like to say what happened it pretty understandable given the circumstances.
I think this was my 4th or 5th drive with this particular instructor - whose name was Karen wouldn't you know -? And because I was so terrified I was constantly asking for confirmation/saying I'm sorry every chance I got. So we're going up an uphill road and a bus just so happens to be stopped at a bus stop a little ways ahead of me. Given that I wasn't really used to changing lanes yet - much less while at a relatively slow speed - and still absolutely terrified I decided it would be a better course of action to just wait a hot second for the bus to move rather than go 'round it. Well, I stop... and what do I hear? "WHY ARE WE STOPPED?!" I nearly jumped out of my seat. So now I'm crying and doing my damndest to pull around this bus while also having a Karen screaming in my ear and berating me.I'm honestly so terrified I don't hear a word she's saying, all I know is that she's yelling at me. Finally having enough - and also having dealt with similar situations in previous drives with Karen - I scream back at her: "I'M SORRY!!!".
She still won't stop, now drilling into me about authority and how I can't yell at a teacher. I've told her multiple times now about my PTSD btw.
So we're finally heading back to my house and there are two roads branching off of the main road that you can take to get to my street - one leads you directly to my house, the other you have to go around a corner - and given how much she's yelling at me and DISTRACTING me I don't realize how little I've slowed down and end up briefly on the curb - she grabbed the wheel. I'll never forget that look on her face. It was like a dog baring their teeth - so now I have her harassing me and I'm absolutely unconsolable given the shock of going over the curb.
We changed instructor's shortly after this. Die in a fire, Karen.
7:45 In a case like this the examiner would not enter a grade because the test was not complete. The testee would be able to return and take the test again.
1:39 I had a roundabout built near me about a year ago and it had a grass mound. My family was familiar with roundabouts already so driving around it was no problem but seeing the other drivers drive it was a nightmare. They got better but one day we notice tire tracks on the grass part in the middle. I haven't seen it happen but I would have honked if I was there.
When I went to get my license, a girl and her father were there studying the book up until she took the written test and failed. 50 questions. If you miss 5, you fail. Never studied and had only drove maybe a couple hours max. Missed 4 around question 38 and sniped the last 12. Shit was ridiculous.
EDIT: JFTR, passed my driving test first try as well.
This reminds me why I prefer to ride a bike. Not a motorized one, mind you (though, I think I shall prefer this over cars). I am used to low-trafic, rural roads where I can go off like whatever, and even in worst-case-scenarios: Bike's weight cannot kill me; running into obstacle cannot kill me, hitting other traffic-parties cannot kill them, getting hit by something heavier is (by my countrie's law) completely their problem, not mine (except for some pain, maybe, but as worst case-scenarios go: When I am dead, I cannot care much -- the only accidents I ever had where: testing the breaks (they worked, and I flew over the steering rod); running into a tree at walking-speed (don't text and drive); hitting a boulder with a peddal, flying over the steering rod again, but made it to the job-interview just fine). So....yay being hyperkinetic?
Close calles included: falling off of a pedal thanks to road-hiccup; a car pulling 270° in front of me, which ended with me in front of them, and three persons angry at each other (the driver in front of me at me for existing; the driver behind me at me for for pulling an emergency-break; me at the driver in front of me for being a neglectfull a-hole); sandsurfing (somewhat like aquaplaning, but actually enjoyable), and a wild sow with her children on a (nearly-)collision-course with me. Luckilly, they steered away. And they were sooooo cute...
There's a girl who bribed the instructor and passed when she fucked up the hill test and crashed into 3 car behind her because she walked out of the car without pulling the handbrake and she panicked that the car stalled on 1st gear.
my driver’s ed teacher said that a kid once ran into a blind person during a lesson. that’s pretty bad
After this I feel really good about my driving skills... And that is saying something.
I passed on my 4th time. I had the same examiner the first 3 times. On my 4th attempt the city I was meant to drive in had a pile up so we went around the rural outskirts where there was almost no traffic. I held a grudge against my first examiner for failing me so many times (the 2nd wasn't my fault, he didn't intervene and there was no accident), but after I passed I was actually grateful he failed me the first few times. I admit I wasn't ready and if he passed me earlier, I'd probably get into an accident within weeks. It's been over 3 years since I passed, not even a parking ticket on my record.
I'm taking my second attempt at a driving test next Thursday and here I am getting anxiety from this video.
If anybody's curious, first time I failed was because I accidentally pulled out onto a roundabout when a car was approaching and so the examiner had to slam on the brakes. To this day I still ducking hate roundabouts
Just take it one step at a time and you'll be alright. Don't panic and just drive smoothly. You'll do well. Good luck
I don't know why people hate roundabouts. Give way to the right (left, in the USA) and give way to any vehicles already in the roundabout. Not very complicated. But then, I see so many people who don't obey those simple rules, so perhaps I'm missing something (like, the fact that half the people driving are below average intelligence...) ;)
Not me, but I know this one guy who attended driving school for years and up to this point still have not passed the tests, at some point he got his instructor arrested and at some point his intructor tried to steal his car.
We drove on the autobahn and my instructor said, Step on the gas, go as fast as you like and feel save.
well, I drove 220kmh (136mph). Thats the max of the car and it felt great xD
On my first time behind the wheel (except for moving and old pickup around my grandpa's property where I almost never used the gas or got to 5mph) I was passing by a small hospital/rehab center where a little girl started to dart into the street. When I saw her I was only about half a car length away, as she was between two cars, and immediately went to brake. The only casualty was my heart as it had lept up into my throat. The instructor seemingly didn't notice as he never mentioned it.
if they didn't mention it you probably did it right. or the instructor was incompetent.
These stories make me glad that the worst I did on my own license test was to fail twice for parallel parking and once for the three point turn, then passed the fourth time
My driving test was super easy. Since I was last one to go, my examiner was like super tired or something, because we was just talking about his kids. And didnt even had to park or anything. Just went on the main road around the city. And than back to the gas station where i was starting. Easiest driving test ever. But at my practice ride I almost got obliterated by a truck when I was on the roundabout and had to slow down and let me go freerly. He didnt and we stoped like 3cm from ourselvs. That was super scary.
I was in front of a school, as it was letting out. Kid ran right in front of me from between two busses. I still can’t believe I didn’t hit him. I started laughing and asked if I pass?
My brother couldn’t take his g test cause he hadn’t been on the highway in the last 3 months.
I passed both my road tests the first time round but for the second one I went up on the curb when parallel parking and nearly hit a pedestrian.
In germany we can't possably fail, because the instructor normaly knows the testing procedur and runs you through it until you feel fine. What is easier than a test you know the answers to?
That's how my friends and I established: The driving test is a basic IQ test.
I already knew how to drive before I was out of middle school, was taught by dad, so drivers ed was no problem at all to pass but during 1 driving session my teacher (had to have been the oldest man on school staff) fell asleep in the middle of the lesson, once I noticed I just drove around randomly til it was time to go back, once back I woke him up after parking outside the school, he woke in a slight panic but noticed we're sadly back he just looked at me and said "good job"
Edit: we were safely back, not sadly
in florida the road testis done in a very small enclosed course, no actual road section, which explains why people suck at driving here
the last one... 200km per hour... i cant even imagine ever driving that fast... fuck that is terrifying. the fastest i have ever driven was 160km and i was like "oh shit im going waaaayyy too fast" and i had to slow down.
jesus christ, germany
I really don't want to spread stereotypes or misinformation, but a friend of mine said that one of the reasons Asian drivers have a bad reputation is because in Asian countries, the test to get your driving license isn't a written and practical combo. If I remember him correctly he said that it's more like a written test and then you pay a fee and you pass. Apparently a lot of Asian immigrants aren't used to the idea of paying to take a test but not being guaranteed a license just because you paid a fee and took the test. It causes a lot of confusion when the dmv has to tell Asian immigrants that they performed poorly on the test, and therefore were not being issued a license even though they paid a fee.
Honk Honkler I mean....they can definitely be harmful and contribute to racism so...I think my disclaimer is necessary
Ive had my Florida license for 7 years now and I think I should go test for a German one after that last story.
15:35
In Germany, to avoid just that, the motorbike-license is in several levels, dictated by power output (and/or displacement).
So when it's your first license, you only get small motorbikes, something like 50 or 80ccm
I got my driving license on a 90cc bike/scooter. Used it for years. Max speed was around 60Kph, but it got me to and from casual work while I was otherwise unemployed. Eventually got my car license, first try.
Hated driving at night for quite a while, but got used to it eventually.
Exactly one two-car collision in 30 years of driving - a parking lot fender-bender which was my fault. Good thing I've always had insurance.
I still remember when I was taking driver's ed the instructor asked me how much experience I've had. I told him I had been driving for over a year taken several long road trips with my dad where we split the driving. He directed me out of the parking lot and almost immediately had me get on the highway! Course I was telling the truth about my experience, but he didn't know that!
Those sound like really weird driving exams. They are okay with people using their own cars, but not okay with them not turning the engine on right from the start?
7:55
He failed because he didn't look ahead properly.
Green light means you're allowed to go, not that you have to.
He could've seen the woman coming.
Max S. If someone speeds through a red light you don’t always see them before they get to you...
I technically rolled through all my stop signs on my test lady said well you did it so slowly that I guess it doesnt matter you pass
Had a friend who drove on the opposite side of the road on his first try, on his second try he blew a yellow light when he had plenty of distance, on his thrird try of getting his licence the lady said she felt bad and passed him
Turned right on a red light after coming to a full stop and looking both ways. But I live in Montreal. Apparently such dangerous manoeuvres are frowned upon here.
Pretty sure that's illegal in most places outside the USA, and maybe some of the Americas.
You weren’t able to take blood samples from unconscious patients until very very recently
Literally tested today, ironic. Also my drivers instructor told me she once had someone who didn’t know their left from right, and would constantly hold her hands up to make an L with both, seeing which was right and which one was left. After being told she couldn’t do that, she came in the next day with L and R written on her hands in marker.

My instructor told me to turn into a intersection that was already backed up through the intersection. So I turned and was sitting in on coming traffic.
the instructor gave you a direction, not how quickly you had to execute that instruction
How about being the driving test guy when the Hensel twins showed up? (Conjoined twins -- one body, two heads. They divide the duties by who controls which side of the body.) th-cam.com/video/lzAaKeGBvJE/w-d-xo.html
Which reminds me: Why did the conjoined twins go to England? So the other one could drive.
Yes and no. Hahaha!!! That got me.
Almost drove off the road
Stay to close to the edge and as my driver instructor said my tires on my passenger side were not on the road
And He also said i drove like an old man because i drove so slow because driving terrifies me greatly
Long story short i passed on my second attempt and hate to drive still
Yikes

Almost in a drainage ditch
@@TheGameMage_ I'm sorry to hear that man. Driving can be real tough on some people. While I enjoy driving I realise it must be very difficult to get into the driver seat after that
The worst ones aren't here to tell us
I went 30-35mph in a 25 by accident on my test. Then I did it again. I passed but was given a long lecture about speeding afterwards.
I have a class A CDL. I have passed every driver test, paper & practical, first try.
Not an examiner, but my driving lesson this week had a driver that crossed in front of me at speed, almost an accident
On my first driving test on the way back like 4 feet from the DMV I hit the curb would have passed first time if it wasn’t for that
I did the same thing as 9:31 but passed because I think the instructor has had it happen before since people get real nervous
My drivingteacher told me he had a girl breaking from 130 to 0 km/h on the autobahn (greetings from germany!) in front of a big tunnel cause she was claustrophobic.
He was fucking terrified.
2:25 I was about to comment the exact same thing for the UK lol.
This song that plays has a woman quietly singing in the background made me think there was an mosquito nearby stayed stressed. As i was ready to catch it.
Instead of just saying 7th I'll entertain you fellow commenters of how I failed my 1st driving test.
My driving instructor was a 350-ish pound woman, and here in Florida you drive your own car (parent's). This massive woman could barely get the seatbelt on (if she were 5 pounds heavier she wouldn't have been able to use the seatbelt). I failed the test for a good reason. I couldn't see around her so I couldn't see oncoming traffic and ended up pulling out in front of a passing car. I was pretty upset that I failed. I passed on my second try. The fact that I had a thin driving instructor helped.
In the UK I'm fairly sure dual control cars have a brake and clutch pedal on the other side, but not an accelerator. Could be wrong though. It's been a long time since I was last in one
reminds me that one day i was in the schoolbus and something hit the rear of the said bus i was in. it was a girl in her final driving test, she and the instructor were in a small nissan car. it got totaled and she didn't get her liscence
If you dont think you can loop a lighter,lower powered bike just as easy you're wrong.
It will come out from under you even quicker
We can all agree that driving tests in Europe, for example Germany are better than American.
The instructor has pedals oh his side, we are comfortable driving fast, know how to drive properly, the downside here are the never working indicators on bmw's
I have yet to take my licence test, however, I think it will go pretty good so long as the car functions properly. I have driven on the interstate numerous times, driven in horrible traffic conditions, and I have never been pulled over. My only fear is that for the "written" (20 multiple choice questions) test, there will be obscure questions that would even confuse a cop. I plan to take it next month in fact. Wish me luck!
I bullshited the written and still passed. You'll be okay. Good luck
1:00 Well, the examiner knew it was an accident. I was walking through the shop at work once (I was a welder) and my boss was showing a visitor (customer?) around the shop.
I was going to pass right next to them and my boss had his back to me. Just as I passed my boss went to point something out to his guest and his hand collided hard with my mouth.
I was badly stunned and just kind of sat/fell down. My lip was split open and I started bleeding like crazy. Blood dripped down into my leathers and my boss looked horrified about what had happened.
Keep in mind, the guy was a bit of a jerk, but I'd had worse bosses. Even so the guy wasn't the type to punch people in the face.
Well he just accidently hurt one of his own employees think most bosses would be terrified of that. Also due to your damages you cant really work I mean bleeding all over the place. It's bad for both you and the boss
Watching this AFTER I've passed my test so I don't give myself anxiety.
There's a lot of people who just shouldn't drive, period.
