Okay so today I took the drivers Test once again and this was suppose to be my last chance of doing it, if not I had to take everything all over again the question practice test and I have to pass that to get a permit. So bow I'm back at step one. So I just came back fro there not to long ago and I Failed once again, WHY.... Because I take my left hand off the wheel when I'm driving. And use. It most of the time when I'm going to turn. So yeah, did everything else but failed once again....
Just to me, they should of pass me with a warning after all it was my 3rd time. But nope, I guess that is extremely important when everyone else drives with one hand most of the tine well at least what I have seen. What the police are going to pull them over. NO... It's just a habit that has to be broken. I'm sure the old man doesn't drive with 2 hands the whole time.
Right now I'm not disappointed but angry, to know that's the reason why I'm sure they don't care...
Why me...

So sorry Payout that you failed once again. Wow that is sad to hear that they are really looking at all of it. I can see if you had a few other problems while driving. I thought they do something like a point system. If not then wow so strict.
I do know about the one hand rule but was not aware they fail you right off for it. I really do wish you best of luck someday that you can get this going.
Take some time before trying all over again and maybe you will be luckier. Could it be they saw you failed once so somehow flagged to check everything now?

Hey HWG,
I honestly think they are doing it on purpose one because, after that a group of them were talking well the tester guy was talking to a group of people and I notice his Body language showing everyone how I was driving which is embarrassing and just. Plan mean. I just wish that this didn't happen. Butted my feelings.. A lot and..
To me ey are eating me this way because I email them the program manager and she set me up 3 times and got me ahead in line with out waiting for weeks. So I'm thankful but I failed all 3 times. And now since I did I have to start all over now.
To me they did that because they probably think oh he thinks he is better and got it easier that they take hard on me and being so strict. I'm sure there is a point system. And with that alone I'm sure I didn't fail.

Next time you do start over can you go to a different location? Here we have several and one is known to be easy to fail at. I do know someone a few years back who went to one and failed. Shocking because she was a driver for years, she had to take the driver test because she did not realize hers was expired.
So the very next day she went to another location and she passed with flying colors. The first one she went to I hear from a lot of people that lots fail at that one. So maybe you can try that.

Yah my father said we just go to the other they are too strict here and I'm sure they are much nicer at the other one. I agreed I'm going to try to go Monday God willing if this hurricane doesn't wipe us out take the test there. I told her I won't ever go back nor recommend any one to go to that DMV. They seem to love to fail people

Well, I think you should practice, practice and practice some more. I'm assuming your state does the driving test on a scoring system. In my state, you need to pass with a driving score of 90% or higher. I would think your state should be doing the same thing. Everyone makes mistakes when they are driving. To include the instructors. There has to be some leeway. If not, the instructors need their license striped too. Hope you pass soon. I know this has to be stressing you out.

AAAAAAAAAA!!!! i think i want to scream with you. that's a lot of tasks to go over an over after each failed exam. oh dear, what else can i say. but for me, i never even tried taking the driving test. and i am actually afraid to fail. so until now, i just rely on getting a taxi or riding the public transportation more often.

Hey chiumee,
Thanks for screaming for me, believe me I don't know how I keep going back but I'm going to try another location because they just seem to love to fail people and believe me that are not nice either. I'm better off going to another location, all because I took my hand off the wheel.. Serious. Swear people these days. I think all they want is just money money money..
Then what made me even mad was when the guy that test me went off telling a group of co workers how I did.. And exam was. I swear people have nothing better to do with there'd lives but make everyone else a living he'll. That was just mess up and disrespectful. And if nothing is going to be done then... I hope something better be done if not I'll be one angry customer.

It's petty what they'll catch you on. Everyone drives with just one hand, it's a habit and it's not one you should have to break for the sake of passing the test. I hate that you have to take that all over again, I'd say appeal it to a higher authority but that'd take longer then doing everything all over again would.
They shouldn't be looking at that you DO take your hand off but how well you do when you do take your hand off. I could understand if you were to become a danger to the road, but I just don't see how one hand off the wheel is dangerous if you know how to do it... which I am sure you're a pro at.

Hey cowgirl,
I agree with you, I was thinking the same thing it wasn't like I didn't have control of thear I did and i drove and did everything on the first try parelle parking and etc and still failed me because I take my hand off now and then usually only when Im driving in a straight path. To me they are doing this on purpose because the program manager mange to put me ahead in line so I 3 times and so they are extremely strict on me and probably think I'm not better then anyone else and so they fail me. Which I think is no reason to fail me or be extra strict. I don't mean to come off that way I just need my license ASAP.
What put the icing on the cake was that the tester guy, after it was done was out side with a group of people I'm assuming co workers and telling them how I failed because I drive with one hand. I saw him copying me and with his body language. Which is embarrassing I find just plan rude and disrespectful.
I'm sure he drives with one hand himself.
Now I have to start all over.. Take the practice test get my permit again and do it all over and schedule a appointment which might be in the beginning of October because only take 12 people in a day. So life is heard the way it is. Why make it harder.. Have ne do it all over again.
I contract the program manager how I felt and so far no response back. Which I think is just mess up. Swear people just only care about themsevlesand just want to make everyones else life hard.
I did everything perfect.. He even said I went in a straight line and back up in a straight line. I parelle park my first try I and I park and back up my first try, still failed me I stop at every stop sign look both ways but on my signal lights to show I was turning .. Still failed me..
Right now I'm getting tired of trying.. If they are going to keep on failing me for every. Little detail

Sorry to hear that, so far my friend failed in getting license for two wheeler a lot of time, well lucky me i got to pass test for four wheeler and two wheeler at the very first time it was somewhat my most tense moment for me, people watching and all and somehow i get my balance with it, thanks to gods grace, some people are not so lucky, it was very confusing at first but when i got on the wheels i got my intuition get on with driving, you must practice too to attain proper result. anyway hope you get your licence next time, good luck

Hey fire heart,
It wasn't like I didn't have control of the car I did and I did everything correct and right the first try and still manage to fail my drivers test how because I think they don't like me or just don't think I deseve one since they push ahead in line the program manager help me take the test over and over and I still manage to fail for some odd reason for the most stupidest things a person can really get failed for.
So I'm just going to give this break and go to another local DMV hopefully i will be treated fairly over there.

Thanks,
I just am getting tired of trying but I'm no longer going to that DMV and going to another because I felt disrespected over there and won't ever go back. I will keep trying even though I feel like I deserve it but, my mistake was a very minor mistake and shouldn't lead to the cause of me failing my test. I'm sure the point system was not met

Hi, I can understand you feel angry and frustrated with this, and it's true in real life most people do drive with only one hand and all these other stuff that you aren't supposed to do. I even know someone who failed his drivers test only because he drove to slow, they felt like she was driving too carefull and wasn't sure enough of herself in the car. So they do fail people for the most ridiculous reasons.
But just hang in there and when you take the next test just think of those stupid things and i'm sure you'll pass.
good luck

Hey kal,
Thank you for agreeing because even my father of years of driving does Teri Edith 2 hands. Why because they feel more comfortbale. Driving that way. I don't know if I'm going ot be taking the next time nay time soon because ihave to start all over again and go back to the practice test. Which is stupid alone. Then having to schedule a date which is like probably till next year to take Therese again. So.. I'm just going to go to another DMV because the man that test me.. Went on telling a few people that I failed and the reason why. So , I'm not going back.

I guess they think you have to actually pass it for them to pass you. Here, the test isn't really that hard and it's easy to get the license but it'll take you too long to get it. You have to know someone working for LTO (company that issues the license) in order for the process to be hastened.

Oh my! Sorry to hear that yet again. I've been a follower of this whole driver's test that you are taking. It should have been taking a lot of time and effort from you now with no results. Oh well, it seems they are really strict in there. As the saying goes, try and try until you succeed. Another mistake learned. Just charge it to experience again. Your bag of experience is getting full now!

Hey agent,
Yeah I did everything on the first try and my driving is great but, nope.. Every little thing gives you a fail a fail a fail ... Just I think they should know that I'm learning and that if that's the only thing then, WTH.. Seriously going to fail me for that.. Was like a pass with a warning come on now. I need my drives liscense and if I don't get it I have to start taking like 3 buses to work. This is just horrible.I just can't think about this anymore.
