Tomarrow I'm going to take my road test for the third time. Yes I know what you're thinking.... THIRD TIME????

Well I am a moron when it comes to controling my emotions and I get SO nervous I can't even think straight. Actually this will be my fourth trip to the RMV because my first test date was on 9/11..... Need I say more?

The 2nd time and the first time I got to actually take the test I looked over the wrong shoulder doing a 3 point turn and almost hit a mini van. The cop had me so confused. Instead of saying "Pull off to the side of the road and do a K turn" He would say"Signal your right turn signal, slowly apply the brakes and pull off to the side of the road. Cut your wheel all the left and look...."

By the time he finished talking I had no idea what he wanted me to do. The 3rd time and 2nd test the cop was a real p@#$& and failed me because when I was doing a 3 point turn my tire went a little in the guy's drive way. He said"If the driveway wasn't there then you'd be on the grass." I said "If the driveway wasn't there I wouldn't have pulled up so far."


Regardless of it all I'm trying again tomarrow and if I fail this time I'm going to break down in tears. I drive fine. Heck, I've been driving for over a year now(with someone with me of course).

Anyway I need all the luck I can get.

I hope all goes well. Driving was not the easiest thing for me to learn. I think I was the only one in my whole high school that got an incomplete in drivers ed. Good Luck!!!

I know I ask myself that ALL the time. I'll look at the parking lot and see the cars that are all sloppily parked and I shake my head and say"But I can't get my licence"

Or the guy who last week drove into a fire hydrant. His excuse was"I don't know what happened"

........But I can't get my licence.

Took me 3 times too, and I lived in Beverly, MA at the time. The first time, my dad drove down and parked the car nose in, and the tester failed me because I couldn't back out in one smooth curve! As if that's EVER an issue in real life! The second time, same guy, he decided I was too nervous and wouldn't issue a license. The third time, I got all dressed up and put on makeup (at 17, that was unusual for me) and he passed me. I think it was the skirt, I looked middle class not schleppy. But of course I can't prove that.

Congrats on passing the test


People on the East coast drive MUCH different than the West coast. When I first got out here, they scared me to death! I was wondering if they even had a drivers test..lol.
Most people in CT refer to MA drivers as Massholes...however, now that I have experienced NJ drivers, I have to say MA drivers aren't that bad

LOL that's funny... Massholes!!!

I guess maybe it's because of the rotaries? We get accustomed to driving in a disorderly fashion.

What in the world are roteries? I find that driving in the states along the Gulf coast is completely different that any where else on North America. I've never been that far east but I have been to Michigan several times and there is a huge difference!

I take that back! I was in Baltimore March 2001 but I was kinda out in the Boonies and never drove. I was also in DC a couple of Christmases ago but again, I never drove.

LOL A rotery is a peice of highway that will take you in circles for HOURS if you don't know what you are doing..lol
It's a large circle with exits along the way. You can get off at any one, but make sure you are in the right lane..lol, or if you screw up, it takes you back to where you started
