Rolling stops is an odd thing to fail for. Everyone i know failed for bumping into the curb, or for not looking for traffic enough. | ||

Check your mirrors like 3 times, buckle your seatbelt in a really deliberate manner, stop at every sign and light for a couple of seconds longer than you normally would, and just generally be hyper attentive for those 15 minutes. Actually the test is 45 minutes long =[ When I get nervous my jaw usually tightens up and I don't breathe as much as I should, so 10 minutes in my mouth and throat started to get really dry haha. I could never tell where he was looking because he puts up a special mirror on the window so that he can see my eyes and where I am looking. I can't tell what he is paying attention to because he was wearing sunglasses too. Some red lights were red for at least a minute, it was extremely awkward a lot of the time... | ||

When you stop, you make a full stop by hitting the brakes and you physically feel like you're falling forward as the tires stops but your car/body still has momentum. This jerk reaction is also how cops can tell if you did a full stop or not. The way to brake w/o feeling the momentum is to brake, then let go of the brake, then brake again. But obviously you don't want to do this since you want the guy to feel the brake. | ||

But obviously you don't want to do this since you want the guy to feel the brake. I did that quite a bit too. I took my brothers car and he needs his brakes done badly. In the beginning the instructor told me to roll down the window so I was like "Oh fuck..." and as soon as you start braking the brakes squeal like a dying baby. The harder you push down on them, the more they squeal =/ I think next time I'm going to take my car in  | ||

On my first test I had this bitch+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://sagaofawahm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bobeck_mimi2.jpg) When I first get in the car she does the run down , asks me where all my instruments are etc. When she gets to the wipers I point with both hands and say, "Here and Here." and then she goes, "Well, which one is it??". I say, "both, this one is for the back and this is for the front." Anyways, I am doing fine we are driving. Lucky for me its a construction zone around the DMV so its slow driving all over the place. The first sign of doom was me trying to small talk her about this fact; "Guess I only need to drive under 25 right?". To which she replied; "If that's what you think." or something snide. So then later I'm making a left hand turn at a light and there are 2 turn lanes. The guy on the inside turn lane for some reasons decides to gun it half way into the turn and swerves the waiting traffic and causes me to break and other people to sound horns. The van jerks around and the tester scoffs at ME. WTF?? and then she scribbles down some note about it. (and when I say scribble, I mean scribble. After the test she gave me a copy and I seriously could not read anything, not even her fucking check marks were coherent. How the fuck is that even possible?) So then we go by the park, and it's a completely open street (lucky me) and I gotta back up in a straight line. Perfect. When I pull out I look around, check my mirrors and all but didn't use my blinker because I basically just drove in a straight line to the stop sign about 50-70 ft. ahead. We get back to the DMV and park and she immediately blurts out "You made a (some dmv word for dire/fatal/crucial) mistake. You fail.". She explains about the blinker when I was parking. And mentions a few other minor errors (including taking points off for the wipers and the the left turn) that need correction. Somehow this means failure? Seriously what a hideous bitch, probably gets off on denying people licenses. I think I still have a copy of the test somewhere, what a joke. The next time I took the test, I seriously passed with flying colors. The tester was a cool older guy who I was chatting with the whole time about driving lessons/tips my dad gave me. Seriously the only things he wrote on the paper was slows down too much on right hand turns, and didn't check mirror once when switching lanes (but I actually did but he didn't see cause he was writing). He said its dangerous because I could get rear ended. But I told him my dad said to drive defensively and beware of pedestrians on turns. Ez Stupid cunt bitch DMV gross chicken slob arms. | ||
