My nerves got to me and I failed. I went over by 6 points. The guy giving me the test wasn't helping with my nerves. He was very quite had a very "I hate my job" aura. That just multiplied my nervousness. I failed because of little things.
He said I'd take my hands off the wheel before the car was fully stopped. The other marks against me were I didn't use my blinker every time I turned my wheel and I did too many rolling stops.
The suckie thing is most of those things were just how I was taught to drive and what I've observed growing up. I was so upset with myself that I let my nerves get to me that I actually screamed into my pillow when I got home (I know, cliche). Though I was proud of myself. I did my very first three-point turn and the only thing I messed up on was I didn't use a blinker every time I was turning my wheel. I also had never practiced going around a stopped car in my lane on a lines road. I only deal with that when I'm driving through my neighborhood and I usually just go around them like I was taught. So I did the same thing and he marked me down for it.
>.> I know this probably sound cliche too, but I swear he was trying to fail me. He marked me down on a turning signal because I didn't turn on my turning signal 30ft before the stop sign, when he only told me I was turning left within like 10ft and as soon as he said I turned on my signal and he was constantly sucking on his tongue which made me even more nerves, which made me screw up more. I'm not saying he's the reason I failed, XD just saying he didn't help any.
I have an appointment scheduled for Thursday at 12:30 with a different guy. The clerk said he's not as much of a hard ass as the guy I got today. She said the guy I had today is by the book and is even quiet and closed off to all of them too. She said not to feel bad. She also said the guy I'm testing with Thursday is more friendly and is more likely to let a few things slide.
Well I think I'm done ranting. I'm going to practice lots, work on breaking those nasty habits that caused me to fail and try to ace the test on Thursday.
