Finally! I failed the first time because of a pedestrian, but I passed this time! And I only missed 2 points!

So... killing a pedestrian is an automatic fail?

Thank you!
curiosityandthecat and afreethinker30 don't worry! I didn't hit the person. It was in the parking lot on the way back, ten feet from my ending parking spot. I thought I was home-free, so when this lady started to cross, it didn't enter my mine to stop (dumb) and the instructor had to tell me to stop (automatic fail)
It sucked but I actually deserved it.

I failed my first time. It's a family curse. My parents also failed their first driver's tests.

I'm guessing it was a squirrel that caused you to fail your driving test?

My mom failed the written test a couple of times. I don't know about my dad. He wasn't allowed to drive until the 1980s because he's epileptic, and he hasn't ever mentioned his testing. My sister had to take the written like 4 times. I passed both on my first try

When I was 16 I took drivers ed. but failed because I got into it with the teacher.He was a jerk.

EDIT: I'm over it, good job! Me and my friends were actually wondering if it were possible to get 100% on the driving test. Here in Cali, they are so nit-picky.

100%? Nice one. I think I got 90% on the written and 92% on the driving test. Eight years later, I still have no tickets and no accidents, knock on wood!

Yeah, I thought so. :D
It's not really fair, though. I took the tests when I was 17 and had been driving for nearly three years at that point. The whole thing was a joke. I even asked the cop (our driving test proctors are police) if he minded if I let the wheel "slide"... he seemed taken aback, but was cool with it. I think he just wanted to go to lunch. :D

He kept telling me to speed up on a main road here..it wasnt a highway and I was afraid to hit someone (it was my second time driving).So I said whatever to him and I guess he didn't like me much after that.Plus I made a comment about his drinking problem.
