there was a total down pour on the day i took my driving test

the testER was actually nice enough to do everything pretty quick, took about 5 min, drove down the feeder of the highway, made 2 U-turns then went thru a couple of stop signs


i read the score sheet for the test prior to it tho... it was pretty strict about down shifting, so i just barely used the brake. Ur not suppose to use the brake that much in rain anyways

 

 

Only part of my road test I can remeber is the figure 8. but that was back in 1981. I have several types of liscences and I Know road tests suck.Give yourself a little talking to and go kick some butt.

 

it was tight, very tight, there was a box that was like 3x6 we had to do it in. and im not kidding. the weave was actually easy and fun, i still weave driving down the street, just push, left - right - left - right...gotta do someting when stuck behind a slow car and cant pass.

 

That is some funny ****. There was a security guard that always follows me around in Wally World and one night about 2 in the morning I decided that I was going to taunt him. I started doing doughnuts in the middle of the parking lot in reverse. I thought it was hillarious. He thought otherwise I guess.
Oh well he only works 3rd shift so I never see him in the daytime.

Damn, we never had to do a figure 8 in our test, that would suck. As for the weaving thing. I do that not only on the bike but in the car when someone is going to slow.
Drives me nuts.

take it in TN..... turn left at the light.... go up hill.... turn left onto street that the DMV can't even see from the front yard of the office... come back.....1 minute of EASY! an idiot could pass this with his eyes closed. probably more wrecks here than in other states. Gotta love TN!! good luck on the re-test.

 

I think that's physically impossible to turn in as our bikes are like 3' long! lol The U turn boxes I think were 20' and 18' wide and maybe double that long where I took my STUPID MSF course. OOOOOOOOOOOo which reminds me I still have to send in to get my $75 back from honda for taking it! =) The MSF test was way easier than the road test. We had some guys in our class that had failed the road test once or twice and just said screw it. The instructors of the class even said they don't like passing people and soon they're going to make it so you have to take the test to get your license.

20' x 18'! thats huge, ok maybe not 3x6, but it was tiny, no more than 5 feet wide, i will try and look it up.

 

so maybe i am just all cracked out or something....i remember it being tiny, very tiny. at any rate....i called the place i took the MSF, the lady didnt remember, but she said it was the 4 parking spaces side by side, i think i am going to go out there and take a picture and look at it again, take some measuring tape. our course is in a church parking lot, so i can go anytime. so you may be right about the 20' x 18'. oh well.

 

i'm so happy i don't have to do the figure 8. that would suck. i might have to wait till next year to ride legal it suppose to be around 55-60 degrees and raining so they would cancel it either way. and the week after that i will be in new york.
