Failing the drive test at 24 y/o

Same, most of my points off were for rolling through stop signs like 2 or 3 times. I ALMOST failed at the end for not using a turn signal to pull into a parking space but the instructor was nice and gave me a reminder by saying "Now remember what you need to do before pulling into a parking space".

I failed the written test for my permit the first time because my fuck stick friend said all the questions were common sense and you didn't need to drive to know them. I failed miserably.

Did everything smoothly after that initial fuck up though.

Just don't drive like a normal person would and be over the top in your actions. Make sure your checks are exaggerated so the tester can actually see you doing things. It's stupid but move your head to check your wing mirrors and rear view mirror.
Practice parallel parking before hand, it's quite simple. Watch a youtube video or two to learn the technique and then practice and you'll be fine. If you have to bring your own vehicle make sure it's something small and easy to drive, just makes things that little bit easier.

i failed once at 23 y/o

dont feel bad especially if the driving test is organized by a 3rd party. They have a vested interest in failing you.

in my case it was because I was backing out of the parking lot because I was too retarded to just reverse park in the first place. I couldn't see a car that was going like 40km/h around the corner until it was right behind me. Instant fail because it was a near miss.

I had the impression it was ameripoors who take theirs in parking lots with cones set up

i can imagine that being the case for driving lessons in downtown because where else can you practice (safely)

otherwise suburbs are like 99% of the areas in America so you start your first lesson on the road right away, not a parking lot unless someone's a special wreck.

Sounds like you could use the practice.

>not passing the day you turn 16 with no points deducted.
