"User" Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Do a bar... Oh, nvm...You can't just do a bar exam at will...er....NM. I was nervous when I went for my first road test and all I can say is that try to be as calm as possible before the actual test. If you have a relaxed non-nervous mind I will assure you will do considerably better then if you are extremely nervous. Also, try to have the "if I fail it's not the end of the world and I can always do it again" mindset. Knowing that there is always a "next time should it come to that" should ease you as well.Furthermore, if you have ANY doubt on what the instructor asks you to do BY ALL MEANS request clarification before you actually do it. For example, if he/she asks you to reverse park in "that parking spot" and you aren't sure which one they are referring to then ask for them to clarify. Or if you are driving down the road and they want you to "turn right" and there are 2 or 3 possible right turns within like....100 meters or so and you don't know which one to turn at....get what I mean?Besides all that good luck! I failed my first driving exam and had to wait months before I could take it again. The 2nd time however I was only docked one point and that was because the instructor told me if she gave me a perfect score it would be pretty "suspicious" so she ended up marking me down for something that was relatively minor that could have went either way.

Sapphire Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks to everyone! I really appreciate the advice, honestly. My Dad just took me out for a last practice run, and I just want to let you guys know I did great, and he gave me a 9/10 and I feel so pumped and ready to rock. Everybody just please remember me in your thoughts it's really important to me that I get this and I'm sure I will, thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My appointment was cancelled. So now it's gonna be on the 2nd of September, at 7:30 am. Wow.Aw man, I was scrolling down this topic looking for the post saying "I passed!" but it was cancelled? Lame! Don't worry, they must have sensed your awesome-ness from a distance and thought "Whoa, better extend this date so we can keep looking forward to meeting this guy!" Haha, just kidding, I just wanted to cheer you up. These things are cancelled quite alot, don't worry about it. I know for a FACT you'll do great. If I had a "GO ROBCOT94!!!" flag I would be waving it all day for you. I've never driven before but I think the key is to stay calm, collected, and focused. Just think about the car, and nothing else. I also agree with FoXXX, practice makes perfect you know! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Oh, one thing that is important, DO NOT drive around lowered railroad crossing gates or try to play "beat the train." This is what happens to people who think that is a good idea:DcgBu0IUIPcNearby security cameraG08PKeaXkM8Cab-Cam view, at :12 is impact. Engie dumps the train @:13. The loud whirring at :22 is the dynamic brake kicking in to assist the e-brake in stopping the train (it wasn't engaged sooner because dynamic brakes require setup time), which finally happens at :54. It took almost 40 secs for the train to stop.XELW2Ewl468Aftermath, Anchor says about 150' stopping distance, though it looked longer than that to me.5 teens were killed because of that stupid decision.And that's just an Amtrak train. Now imagine a 150-car fully-loaded coal train traveling at 60MPH hitting a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
