| I'm shocked you failed just from hitting a curb. Was that the only thing, or was it just enough to push you over the edge of the point threshold? Also, a whole month to wait? Is it a state thing? Here in Michigan you only have to wait 24 hours, and our instructors say to do your best to miss all curbs, but it's not a failing issue.  |

| No; during a test that is a no no. Could have been someone standing there.

| Well, to be accurate, I was told it wouldn't fail you if it's an empty corner. If there's a person nearby, it's a huge no no. All I can do is try my best on the test, huh?  |

| When a student driver fails the first test, does s/he continue with training until it is time for the second test? Is there still the opportunity to practice more?

I know there are lots to learn and i am going t o do my best to become a safe and good truck driver. I hope to see you out there on the road |

| Don't worry about Roehl. I trained with them and they are a fair company. I know of guys that had to come back just to retest and they passed the second time around. Hitting curbs is important because there have been occurances in the past where someone standing on a corner have been struck and killed. Like everyone said watch your mirrors. Go a little wider in the turn to be on the safe side. A fellow student (with a trainer in the truck) hit and took down a light post. He was still hired after successfully passing the rest of the course. I think the trainer got in more trouble. Watch your mirrors and make sure you keep turning that head looking at intersections, etc... they really watch for that. Good Luck Last edited by Toby; 03.18.2007 at 05.59 PM. Reason: none |
