you got the link to that BB thread that your avatar is from?

i rmb reading it, was the funniest shit ever

My Dad's an instructor and has always told me in the past that the road test is not normal driving, it's more like a performance. Yes you drive like a granny but the key thing is to show how you can drive safe.

Just a tip to all those who are about to take/having difficulties with the road test, remember everytime you touch any signal light, perform a shoulder check. Make sure you exaggerate the shoulder check too, as if you're checking for ants on your shoulder or something. Shoulder check early before making a right turn. And if your going into reverse, perform a 360 degree check before moving at all.

Failed before also and was pretty discouraged for the rest of the year. What helped was to get a driving instructor, just for 3 sessions, to nit pick at little bad habits. After that I passed with flying colors.

when i first took my N test the guy didn't like the fact that my parents had bought me a "hot ride" after the test he said "you did good but i still don't think you're ready, fail."

when i asked him what i did wrong he said "i just dont feel you're ready yet"


i was like whatever ill just take it again no need to bitch

You, or your dad hit bang on. It's smoke and mirrors basically. For a motorcycle license, even more so. You have to overemphasize the things you do. You're not going to 360 degree check THAT often in real life but you certainly will do it on the test to SHOW that you know that you're supposed to be doing it. Similarly, we shoulder check left and right on our motorcycle road test EVERY TIME we move from a stopped position; regardless if you're pulling out of a curb or going forward after stopping at a red light.

It's all about what you can show and prove to them that you know and it's your job to make sure you're able to. You distract them with positive things rather than let them dwell on negative things that you're doing.

haha oh man, you should see some of the kids at the Richmond location...

Doing road tests in AMGs and M3's

i wonder what would happen if they drove their car in to a building like a bank during the test
:troll:

They write the instructor a rather large cheque and somehow end up passing:whistle:

It'd be the ICBC licensing center they drive into then, the only places where you end up stall parking are at the start and end of the test. Like to see them get out of that one?

Op after he gets E46 M3.

Stop driving like an idiot and you will pass.

lol so true. I had my class 6 road test yesterday and for every shoulder check, I exaggerated and turned my head all the way back and stared down the examiner like a boss.

I've heard a different reason. Think about this, you're an instructor in the vehicle with someone you don't know, and you're at the mercy of what they do behind the wheel. If they know you've failed them right away, bad shit can happen to you.

The reason I've heard this is cause someone in my high school kicked the instructor out of his car on a country backroad. He knew he fucked up, so he just said fuck it and gave the instructor the boot. This would be nearly 20 years ago, so no cell phones, and butt-fuck-nowhere rural Ontario.

i dont think so..

when i did my test, i drove around, ask to P park, then drive around and finish... this was during snow too...

Now that you know how it feels like to fail, you don't need to worry about that feeling anymore when taking it the second time. Just practice and drive safely and you will be fine.

I exaggerated shoulder checks during my road test, and at the end he's like stop being so overly careful lolwut :fulloffuck:

If a mirror on the dash can distract you to almost run into the oncoming lane I think you need more practice.

You definitely should not be driving an M3. You'll be saying shifting gears is distracting. :suspicious:

well...it is much better than u crash your new car~~D

Though I passed my test on the first try the test is a joke. Besides, shoulder checking is DANGEROUS and I don't do it.

Your confused, she was making a turn and couldnt see the oncoming car... she didnt drive into the oncoming lane..


vs just looking into the side mirror with blind spots... thats dangerous too...

:suspicious::fulloffuck:

Cant tell if serious...

i wish i could fail you an infinite amount of times. People who don't PROPERLY shoulder check or even do it at all are the ones who side swipe others and claim they didn't see them.

UR FAT AND UGLY

great white buffalo...

I guess its dangerous if you take too long to shoulder check..you do have to take your eyes off the road infront of you.. someone can brake hard or someone can run onto the road..
