In Reply to: What kind of driving test did you take?! posted by miss d on June 10, 2003 at 09:59:37:
: : just pull up to the cones and stop, better than hitting them.
: Way back when I took mine, we actually did it on open road, so you really had to parallel park - like between two cars.
: I'd have loved cones.
: My insurance agent probably would've to.
The first time I took it, in Rahway, it was on a course (cones). I flunked parallel parking, as expected, but they flunked me on coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Which was a fucking joke, 'cause I came to as complete a stop as anyone ever does, and it was a CLOSED little dinky fucking driving course! Anyway, after much trial and error (not on actual tests, just in actually GETTING to take tests. Long, drawn out, boring, annoying, frustrating story), I finally ended up taking it in Plainfield, on regular roads. Passed with flying colors. I think I even passed parallel parking.
