Driving license stories?

heh... driving tests... what are those

Here in my state they don't, you just have to have a parent or guardian vouch for it which is easily bullshittable.

Fuck me, my instructor must have been a real cunt, I'm the only one of my group of friends who had to take it a second time.

>19, finally going for my Ps
>Love cars, love driving, everyone who drives with me is surprised I'm so competent
>hop in my car for Ps test, everything goes fine so car
>come to reverse parallel park, I pick a bad spot in the suburbs. As I reverse my wheel goes over some big fuck off chunk of rock
>instructor fails me "you put your wheel up on the curb user, I felt it"
>insist it was a chunk of concrete in the gutter but he writes a big fail on my sheet
>even show him the rock under the wheel, he immediately feels shitty but can't reverse the fail as apparently all the sheets are numbered for accounting purposes
>PoS makes me come back a few weeks later and do it again

its a one year minimum driving period on your learners before you can try for your provisional license
bretty sure everyone lies about the hours tho cuz remembering to log each drive is fucking shit

>gf tries to get a license
>hazard perception test
>literally just press a button when a dog walks onto the road
>she fails
>twice

How the fuck is that even possible?

You fill out a log book with the time you drove, car rego and the odometer reading, then the accompanying driver signs it. Pretty easy to add hours here and there as long as you're not stupid with it.

Got it before 120 hours was a thing m8.

i had to get my p plates within like a month for a job so i bullshitted 90% of the hours then got my nan to sign off on every entry lel

Any questions?

I changed instructors cause female instructor was a bitch, but im glad it only took me two tries.

>anyone got a driver license in germany?
Everyone in Germany has got a license.

you have to do a bunch of shit but it's not hard at all

People here saying you can't fail a burger test have never been jewd like I have been jewd.
>lose 1.5 points on entire test
>instructor directs me on to some scummy neighborhood back road.
>trees at the bottom of every driveway, all overgrown.

>gotcha bitch, uncontrolled intersection
>Road is single lane, and the sign is covered by a tree
I know at least 4 other people from my high school who failed here, and my dmv is known for jewing people. The instructor who failed me is actually known to the entire area as "No Pass Patty" the Asian driving instructor.
My second try though I lost every point I possibly could and without failing.

And that is how I learned that driving tests are ridiculous because I failed on semi-small faults, and get chewed-out on for braking for a yellow yet passed

What country does a useless test like that?

WTF

Had to take time off work a few weeks later to retake the test which I passed with a different instructor. He asked me why I failed the first time and I said it was probably cause I reeeeee'd on the lady for not keeping her feet off my seats.

That's Australia.

It's a dumb test where you click just before you see hazards on the road such as a kid running onto the road.

I passed it first try but because it's rather random it is possible to fail, I remember looking up forums on others who had done it to know when to click.

One scenario I failed was a little boy running onto the road and I hit him lol, still passed tho.

beim ersten Mal geschafft, theorie+praxis
0 fehlerpunkte weil den ganzen scheiß auswendig gelernt
>praxis
termin beim tüv um halb 8, prüfer kam um 10 vor, um 10 nach bestanden

literally me

mate i think driving school just teaches you the most basic shit, the real learning comes from experience on the road

I would personally go up to the tree in the middle of the night with the fucking saw and cut it down as quickly as you can before the police show up.

You'd be a hero to everyone

Back when I was up for motorcycle license riding test

Little context, my instructor kept hammering on how I that I should be lenient with the speed limit and just make sure to be safe above all else. So speed if necessary and use the speed if available to me.

My exam, followed closely by the examinator in his car:

>60 km/h twisty b-road
>going 10% over the speed limit, they like that
>keeping up a nice pace
>suddenly twingo
>slow as fucking, stuck behind him doing 50 or 40 in the numerous corners
>no way to safely pass him
>suddenly a very small window of opportunity
>shit down, full throttle
>blast past doing nearly 45 km/h (~30mph) over the speed limit
>oops

>"so how did you think it went"
>"well, bla bla and I've probably shouldn't have overtaken that car"
"actually we liked that, congratulations you've passed"

Really fucking weird if you imagine that they are huge sticklers for rules here, and traffic fines are enormous. Highest of Europe. Nigh in the world.

Oh well.

>pass on my second attempt no hassle

Literally just drove around my grandparents and got good at driving then took the test and easily passed. It's not that hard at all if you focus on learning to do everything properly.

I mean what the fuck.

UK does it. Fifteen scenarios with lots of bait, one of them has two hazards instead of one and it doesn't tell you which one. Just to constantly fuck with you. 80 points total, you need somewhere in the region of 2/3rds to pass iirc.

Scoring is based on how quickly you react to a hazard, from 5-1 over the course of about a second and a half after a reasonable human could see it. If you spam clicks to cheat the system it gives you a zero. You don't have to click the theoretical dog, you just click the screen.

And it's all CG these days, surprisingly good looking CG at that.

I took my twst 3 times, the female instructors were total bitxhes but the guy was a bro, and that seems to be the running theme from what others tell me. I wonder why that is

a k turn is basically a fucked up halfassed u tirn

I transferred my American license to a German one so I spared myself the shekels

>the real learning comes from experience on the road
That just means that the school wasn't doing it right.

>Hit 1 out of every 3 pedestrians
>Passing score
>What country does a useless test like that?

The passing scores aren't just high enough. When licenses are easy to get, it leads to a causual attitude.
