Just failed my first road test
It happened just two days ago. I thought I was ready, the proctor said pull out, and I checked my mirrors, looked behind, and saw a space between a couple of cars, and figured I could beat the blue van coming from behind. As soon as I am ready to go, I push the gas a little, and proctor says, "Whoa,whoa" and pulls me back to the curb.
"Did you see that van coming 40 miles an hour?"
"Yes."
He then pulls out a palm pilot from something that looked like a looseleaf notebook and I noticed he's writing something.
"Are we going to start over?"
No response. He prints out a paper from his palm pilot which says I've failed and lists seven different ways in which I failed to yield to traffic. SEVEN!!! Only one 'serious violation' for failing to yield to right of way. Perhaps the most surreal two minutes of my life and it was all over like that.
Does anyone here have a license?
Better yet, does anyone pass on the first try?
