Just failed my first road test

The legitimate reason was mostly just because I was nervous. It was on residential roads and there were two cars parked on either side of the road narrowing the street quite a bit. I was all set and ready to go through when another car turned onto the street from a nearby intersection, going the opposite way I was.

I wasn't sure if there was enough room for two cars to get through or if I should wait for the guy to pass or go ahead or what. I kind of just barely got in the gap in case the other guy came in. I didn't hit anything, but it was close.

Ish.

But that was okay. I knew I failed.

But then there are the crap reasons.

1) A stopped too suddenly. I didn't know there was a set "stopping"...thing. I didn't hit anything in front of me at insersections and it wasn't a screeching halt (nor were we thrown forward in the seats). But she said I stopped too suddenly or too quickly or something

2) She said I didn't look both ways at a stop sign, although I did. My dad said later I have to turn my head completely since apparently nobody but me can actually move their eyes to see in other directions. Or something.

3) She said I accelerated too quickly on the city roads. Not speeding; I didn't speed. She said I accelerated too quickly. As opposed to, you know, slowly climbing up to 10, 20, 30, 35, 40 while cars are honking and passing me by.

Number three ticked me off a lot since my driver's ed guy made a point to get up to the speed limit quickly on roads so you're not blocking anyone behind you (that was his only complaint in fact). But then this woman says I sped up to quickly. Grr.

Anyway, I took it the second time at a different place. I had a fat Hitler for my instructor that time (he had the mustache and everything ^_^). I passed. He said that I went a little slowly on the city roads (ARGH!) but that otherwise anything else was just a lack of real experience.

I liked him. Too bad the real Hitler wasn't like him...

Anyway....
