Do you remember what did you scored on your drivers test?

I think I scored 85% on the test, can’t really remember its been a long time.

I got 71% because I aced the written part but I couldn’t parallel park to save my life. I also scared the cop riding along as the examiner.

No. But the third time was the charm. :)

I haven’t taken a driving test yet. It’s public transport for me!

I can’t remember,but I am still on the road…woo hooooooo!

I was perfect on the written test, but I failed my first road test (I guess I stopped too far at a stop sign and didn’t swivel my head far enough when backing up), and then passed everything the second time around.

20/20 on the written and the only thing I got dinged on for the road test was not adjusting the mirrors beore we drove off. Apparently it didn’t matter that they were already set since I drove that car to the testing site…

I don’t think they told me my score for the written test, but I remember my score on my road test: 9 points against me. Here’s what happened:

I park the car, and I look at the test-giver lady and say, “Well, how did I do?” and she sits there writing shit for a while, then says, “If you get 0–4 points against you, you pass; if you get 10 or more points against you, you fail. Between 5 and 9 points, it’s at the examiner’s discretion.” [long long pause] “You got 9 points.” Then she asked me what I thought she should do, and I BSed something about how I was nervous, but she should pass me because I was so cautious, and she did!

100% on written and the driving inspector was a “Trucker Cop” on lunch break not a regular inspector. He rode around the block with me driving, he eating his lunch. Asked me if I could parallel park the car, I said “yes”. He then asked me to do a “Y” turn on a side road. After that it was back to the parking lot. 100% on road.

I pulled my score from my files and see that I scored a 95% on the written test and a 100% on the road test….

I aced the written test. I’m not sure what I got on the road test, but I passed the first time. Then when I re-took the written test to get my license changed when I moved to Idaho, I missed… uh… I can’t remember the number, but it was two fewer than I was allowed to miss. It asked questions about cows. Dude, I’m a NYer. I don’t know about cows.

I don’t remember what I got on the written test, but I do remember that I failed the road test the first time around. I was trying to impress the tester by not breaking too hard, so instead I rolled through a stop sign. :-(

@MacBean – I guess you never went upstate then, eh?

I take great pride in having aced it.

84

dont remember – dont care, just as long as i heard those two words ahhhhhhhhhhh YES!!

Man, that was way too long ago. Had to do a written test a while back and I think I missed 1 question out of 25.

I got 100% on the written. I passed the driving exam on the first try, but would have failed if they didn’t let me go easy on the parallel parking. I needed more turns than they allow, but the guy grew up in my neighborhood and just knew I’d be getting tons of practice, so he passed me. (I lived on a one way, tight street, with parking on both sides of the road…I became a master at parallel parking)

@jerv: I live upstate. But not with cows.

@MacBean: MacBean; Of course you know about cows; there are more of them than people in both Greene and Columbia county.

When I was taking my son for his driving test, I had a small fender-bender. My son had to climb out my car window to meet his instructor. He passed the test and was a conservative driver ever since.

@gailcalled: Are there, seriously? Good Lord. Where? Do they hide underground or something?

98 written…96 driver’s test.

I can’t remember,but I do remember that I failed the first one.My parents and siblings still won’t let me live it down.Everytime it gets brought up my father makes the remark that every idiot gets their driving license.

I passed by one point on my first try.
Whew!

The laws were different in Kansas when I got my license. I took the learner’s permit test twice, once on my 14th birthday and then again the next day. When I was 15 I took the restricted license test three times and the driving test twice! I could drive to school and work at 15 then. You weren’t required to take driver’s ed at the time but now you are. I remember being so mortified all the times I failed. But then I recall feeling so free when I got my restricted! My folks let me drive wherever I wanted. If I got stopped I was to tell the cops I was headed to work. Luckily I never got stopped!

Underground cows! What a concept!

:-)

On the written test? I don’t remember. i failed the driving test the first time. I was so nervous.

@Darwin: Around here you need to keep one eye on the sides of the road for cows, deer, turkeys, squirrels, chipmunks, opossums, skunks, raccoons, geese, goats, llamas, serval cats, foxes, bobcats,coyotes, chickens, guinea hens, the occasional mt. lion and brown bear, drunken teenagers w/o seat belts and various pets; they all cross the road as you decide to speed up.

As I type, I myself am stunned at the amount of wildlife that is not so wild. A bear recently removed one of my sister’s bee hives.

In NYS, at the time, my driver’s test was pass/fail. The written test was easy; one just read the manual.

@gailcalled : We have cows (well, steers actually) right in our neighborhood. Fortunately the owner believes good fences make good neighbors and none of them are underground.

In our area we, too, have to watch for a variety of mobile impediments to safe driving, including cows, turkeys, squirrels, pocket gophers, jack rabbits, opossums, skunks, raccoons, herons, goats, donkeys, horses, jackasses (both human and animal), foxes, bobcats, coyotes, black vultures, caracaras, pot-bellied pigs, egg-laying turtles, the occasional mountain lion, jaguarundis, stranded marine mammals and egg-laying sea turtles (if you drive on the beach as many Texans do), pigeons, seagulls, drunken teenagers w/o seat belts, drunken pedestrians who always seem to wear black clothes, various pets, idiots on pocket bikes, and small children whose parents are perpetually sleeping something off with the front door open.
