after reading another thread, i realized that it has been 4 years to the date that the stat of New York has allowed me to legally operate a motor vehicle (mistake on their part? quite possibly lol). just thought it might be cool to do something like this, so: 1. how many years have u had your license? 2. how long did you have permit for when you took your road test? 3. what was your score, and what did you get points off for? 4. anything good/bad to say about the ‘instructor’? 5. any other memorable things to add? 6. 4 7. 10 months (parents made me take Drivers Ed over the summer first) 8. i got points of for mis-use of automatic gears. i was driving my moms '97 Taurus wagon, and the transmission (which blew not long after) had this thing where OCCASIONALLY it would clunk moderately hard when shifting from Drive to Reverse, and of course, it did that on my road test while i was parallel parking. i dont remember my exact score, but that was the only thig i got off for 9. the guy was pretty cool, i think the test only lasted about 10 minutes, mayb less. my one firends was like a half an hour. he let me off easy on the parallel parking too, i got to the point where i just started to back into the spot and he said ‘ok, thats good you can go’ 10. i remember i skipped school to take it, and i went into school late and my parents let me take the car to school right away and i took a bunch of people out to lunch that day. ---

1.) 8 years 2.) 2 months 3.) I have no idea what my score was 4.) I do not remember anything about my instructor 5.) When I took my car test, I didn’t pass by much. When I took my motorcycle test the only input the instructor had was that I was a good rider, very observant. I guess I know where I belong… ---

No idea what my score was. I only lost points for being “too timid in traffic”. I only remember that because I really wanted to tell the guy I normally drive much faster. 9. Don’t remember the instructor at all. 10. No good stories. But when I went back for my motorcycle license at 18 I was turned away for my rear tire being too bald. After I got that replaced and signed up again as I’m creeping up in line waiting for my turn the front brake cable snapped. Not wanting to wait another month or so to reschedule I just took the test with just rear brakes, and still passed. ---
