ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WHATS YOUR GODDAMN DEFINITION OF A ROLLING STOP? DO I HAVE TO FUCKING WAIT FOR LIKE 10 SECONDS IN YOUR OPINION OR SOMETHING?
FUCK.
So I'm pretty pissed now. I had my road test this morning. Overall at the end I think I did really well. I parked, and the first thing he says is "Well... You didn't make it." My heart basically dropped. I was like "Oh... Really?"
"What do you think you did wrong?"
"Hmm... Well I was usually driving about 40-45 in the 50 zones... Um.. I probably should have waited longer that one time in a right hand turn."
"Nope. You did this a lot. Any ideas?"
Honestly I had no clue wtf he was talking about. I thought I did almost perfect.
"Errm... Not really. What did I do?"
"Rolling stops."
"Huh?"
"How many do you think you did?"
This really fucking pissed me off. Rolling stops? I am 99% sure I came to a complete stop every time and waited at least a full second or two.
"???... Maybe like 1 or 2...?"
"Eight."
"(WHAT THE FUCK. I almost shouted out "YOUR FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT?")I did?"
"Yes. That's the only major thing you did wrong. If you didn't do rolling stops you would have passed."
"(FML)What is the limit? How many would I have had to corrected to pass?"
"Well there are two sections: Turning left and turning right. 3 is the fail amount for left, 4 is the fail amount for right. You had... let's see... 3 turning left... and 4 turning right."
I haven't been this pissed in ages. Holy fuck. I went back to school and my friends ask "Did you pass?"
"No... no I didn't."
"What??? Who did you have?"
"His name was Andreas"
"LOLOLOLOLOL EVERYONE I KNOW WHO HAS HAD HIM HAS FAILED HAHAHA."
Fucking hell. The test fee was 35$, so I have to pay another 35$ when I re-take it but I could care less. The thing that's really pissing me off is that I wanted it for this weekend because my graduation is this weekend. Now I have to wait 2 weeks.

3 or more and you fail for left. 4 or more if you fail for right. So the limits are 2 and 3. I had 3 and 4 apparently. Along with 1 rollings stop for going straight. I didn't fail the section for going straight though. The limit for it was was like 4 or something and I only had 1.
So overall I did 8 rolling stops, 7 of which only mattered.

isn't your first G2 road test free if you have your G1 license?
but yeah i did my test like 2 months ago almost and I was nervous as hell, i feel bad for you, sucks to have to do that twice

My reason for failing was that my tester didn't speak fucking English so I had to guess at all her instructions.
Fucking retarded.

I think that is only through a driver's ed program. I remember something like that.
I failed my first test because I thought it would be easier if I took it out of the city but the shitty ass town didn't have any road markings at all and I had some retarded hicks in front of me swerving across the road to hit puddles (it was during spring time) and she made me do literally everything.
Then I just took it downtown and they were like ok drive around the block cool no one died here's your license drive faster in the future.
I have to retake the whole thing because I never got my G before my G2 expired (I wasn't around to take it) but I haven't bothered in a few years because I got used to not driving
|
you probably what we did in california..  most people over here will partially stop or slow down to a crawl and then continue on. you probably did something along those lines and not a COMPLETE stop
[edit] glad youre not on the road.
|
I failed my first driving test the same way, except it was just one. At the very beginning of the test I turned on my signal, stopped at a stop sign, looked right, looked left, looked right, then turned right.
"You rolled through that stop sign."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did. That's an automatic fail."

I actually hate people who do rolling stops, so I'm happy they're anal about this. It's as simple as stopping and looking both ways, but damned if the idiots where I live can be bothered.

lol, poor LR
nice story Grobyc, sounds like next time you should try to somehow ensure you have a different driving test administrator 
I know several people who failed their driving test more than once...at least it makes for funny stories down the line
Also: I originally thought this thread might be about octomom
|
if you are rolling you are not stopping.
|
lol, "everybody who has had him has failed"
That sucks though man, you wasted $35 :<
|
a rolling stop is when u dont use your brakes to slow down isnt it?
|
No it's just when you don't come to a complete stop
|
like at a stopsign where its perfectly logical to slow down slightly and keep going.
thats a barrel rolling stop.

I know. I'm 99.99% sure I didn't roll though. I have never had a problem with rolling stops learning and my mom is anal about it. I know she would have mentioned it if I had a problem with it. I did perfect with scanning intersections and shoulder checks, which I would do every time after I came to a stop so I honestly don't think most instructors would have docked me. The thing is, my friend knows a good 3 or 4 people who got him for their test and he not just strict, but like OVERLY strict. Like strict to the point where people try to re-schedule their test if they know they have him. What I think he classified as a rolling stop is coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, then inching up forward to be able to see around the corners, but not coming to a complete stop after inching up. AFAIK you are only supposed to come to a complete stop once, and after you inch up you are allowed to keep on going without stopping a second time. I did those kinds of stops almost through the whole thing. I don't think I'm a driving hazard at all -_-;;

lol i just got my g2 license yestoday, almost failed it because i didnt do my parallel parking and downhill parking perfectly plus other stupid shit. u have to come to a complete stop in front of a stop sign, i mean dead stop then check left and right and go.its very easy to fail the g1 exit test and also very easy to pass. the g2 exit test is alot easier, its just driving on highway, no stop sign no turns and they take mark offs 1 point at time, so you can make 32 mistakes to fail.

Everyone does rolling stops. EVERYONE.

thats just bad luck bro
you probably just got a jewish teacher or something

I got fined $300 once for a rolling stop. :/
It's the most bullshit regulation in existence because, unless you're an idiot, it is never dangerous in the slightest, and it's one of those laws that everyone breaks every day and is just enforced at will, which makes it more an issue of whether or not a cop likes you than of what you did, run on sentences are awesome.
|
for those kind of tests you need to do everything by the book, not one or 2 seconds at the stop but THREE.
|
Yeah, it doesn't really matter in the real world if you don't stop completely for a long time, unless there's a cop, but people that administer driving tests are really picky about weird things, like looking in the rearview mirror.

Yeah I made sure to do that like every 4 seconds lol. I'll be damned if I lose points for that on the next try!

Hah, that sucks. But afaik, if you don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign during the test you fail instantly. At least that's how it is here.
On my test, I lost points for driving too slow and not applying the handbrake when parked. Retarded, but I still passed.
|
I remember back then while i was still taking my driving classes I had already improved so much that the instructor thinks i never shoulder check but i just do it really quickly that is why. I dont really have a good reason to bring that up but i do like to show people that i am quite powerful, just like i tell people on bgh that zerg is my weakest race(as im owning) so that they understand how good my P and T really is.

my friend failed his test last week for forgetting the handbrake too.

Now that I think of it I do rolling stops all the time.
It is bullshit though if you know your timing. I trust all you good sc players with your timing, you should be allowed to run red lights and stuff and do illegal lane changes if you know your timing.

Good luck on your next try. Rolling stops are one of the things that freaking everyone does, but they don't allow it on the drivers test (or maybe that's just because i'm from cali, home of the rolling stop

what is a rolling stop again?

u dont come to a complete stop at stop sign, deaccelerate to turtle speed, slowly inching forward then accelerate again.

no they dont, just wait until your car jerks you backwards. That's when you know you've stopped.

When taking a Driving Test, make sure you stop for like 2-3 seconds. I mean, make sure you are sitting there, unmoving (I guess unless you are making a right-hand turn off a highway or something). You have to drive so fakely to pass these tests, its ridiculous. Driving tests are a pain, it took me like 3 times to pass.

The government has to fail a certain amount of people and let a certain amount pass. Take your test in the afternoon ( 11am ish ).
I failed once cus the guy asked me to parallel park behind a car, but the spot behind that car was a curve ... how do i park parallel to a car ... go on the curb?

I can only speak for myself, but mine was pretty easy. Here in the U.S. i know the difficulty varies depending on which DMV you go to, and probably even for who is testing you.
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.
|
Wow, that really sucks. I personally think it is a bad idea to teach everyone to wait 10 seconds at each stop sign but apparently Andreas has different thoughts. The only things I got taken off for on my test was not putting on my turning signal for a three point turn (closed course so didn't even think of it) and having to adjust the mammoth minivan I was driving once, to park within the four cones when she said to adjust if I needed to!
|
That sucks, most stop signs should be yields anyway and having to come to a complete stop before turning right at red lights doesn't really make sense either.

Sucks grobyc. You really have to exaggerate everything during a driving test. 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...

yea seriously. This is a DRIVING TEST, not a weekend cruise. 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.

Exactly, though it doesn't even matter if he feels the break. you just stop completely then make really obvious head movements to show you are looking. The key to a driving test is to drive like your grandmother...that is if your grandma is alert and always being extra careful.

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

Lol, during my road test I was obnoxiously careful. Stopping for like 10 seconds and twisting my entire body both ways to check for cars.
|
I think its like an unwritten law for any fist time test taker to be failed. Everyone I know has failed on their first try.
On my first test I had this bitch+ Show Spoiler + but uglier. I shit you not.
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.

Yes it does, Pedestrians. That is why the law is there. Also sometimes there are cross traffic yielding left greens.
The main thing with the stop sign or red is that it slows down the speed, even if there is an accident it most likely won't be a fatal one at the lessened speeds.
|
My guy was really stupid about stuff like that too.
When he was getting me to do my 2-point turn into a driveway I was like "Okay(I know this shit good)".
They way I know it is that there is two ways of doing it. You can pull into the driveway front first(simple right blinker and pull in), then back out, or you can pull ahead past the driveway and back then, then drive straight out.
I did it the first way. When I started to pull in he's like "What are you doing?!?! I said a goddamn 2-point turn! Don't you know what that is?!"
So I say "Yes, but I know both ways of doing it, would you like me to do it the other way?"
"There is no other way! You are supposed to back in!"
"Okay, sorry."
So I back in, and as I'm driving back out onto the road I ask "Do you want me to go right, and continue the way I was going before, or turn left and start going back the other way?"
He says
"Well that would be pointless to go right, now wouldn't it..."
This is where I got pretty fucking pissed. There was a lot more too, but I don't remember most of it.

So I back in, and as I'm driving back out onto the road I ask "Do you want me to go right, and continue the way I was going before, or turn left and start going back the other way?"
"Well that would be pointless to go right, now wouldn't it..."
I mean... he has a point.

Am I being an ass when I say that you deserve failing the test, because it's your own fault? You did eight of them so man up :D

How anyone can fail anything on those tests besides the parallel parking is beyond me (and that's not even that hard). Like brood said, just do everything to a T (wait like 3 sec at stop signs and shit) and it's cake.

For me, there's this one intersection in town with a really well hidden "no turn on red" sign. It's an automatic fail of your driving test since it's not following traffic signs/laws. So every driving test in Carmel, IN makes you go through that. When I got to the intersection the first time, it was green, so my tester had me drive around the block and go back to the intersection. It was green again. Finally she just said ok don't turn on red when there's a posted sign and gave up trying to trick me.

lucky lucky you.
And yes, DMV testers are super anal about everything. Even if you do everything to a T, you can still fail on dumb stuff.

I'm a horrid driver in real life. Never stop @ stop signs, park where I shouldn't park, I'm always speeding, never use handbreak @ all. When I took my drive test few years ago, the lady was anal to begin with b/c I was all nervous and shit and she was getting pissed off b/c I did shit so slow.
But I passed 1st time with 93% rofl. Driving tests are no indication of how good a driver you will be in the future. Just be super nervous. Pretend you're driving the president around and you shouldn't fuck up. They can't call you on nonexistent shit so just shit on them.

Your luck sucks. I passed my test the first time even though I almost ran a red light. :/
