Has anyone taken the road test in South Hicksville NY?

I have not.

But I HAVE taken a DOT road test. Expect (at the minimum) a full pre-trip, atleast two right turns, a railroad crossing, and a straight line backing.

Don't be nervous. And get out and look...then honk before you back. And don't hit anything. You'll be fine.

 

Tight area i used to live there in westbury about 5 minutes from hicksville but you will be fine just take your time.

 

I did take it there once. I was going to Commercial Driver Training School and that was my test site

 

Over there the time i took it the pretrip is pretty simple. You dont open the engine compartment (unless they changed it).

The only maneuver really that I had to do was a parallel park and a bit of a straight back really. Then at the end of the side street that they may pull you into, you will make a u-turn (the instructor will be watching your use of the mirrors)

The brake test was the first thing. It is very easy over there.

I just passed my cdl test today up here in RI and trust me, up here aint easy.

Other than that over there they will be checking how you merge into traffic, the turns.

Bridge underpass clearance height is big over there.

You will need to know how high your trailer is and tell them what the posted heights are at underpasses. If not posted just tell them: not posted, should be 14' or higher.

 

Mirrors mirrors mirrors and keeping up with the speed.

Needless to say I failed it that time but that was because I had little to no training and no money to pay for a full program.

 

This site is just a sign on the side of the road went by to get an idea of the layout and didn't see anyone or any truck waited for over 2 hours.. has anyone taken a skills test here before? I would hate to rent a truck and head over there with my buddy to find out I've been fooled

 

I know a good spot to take it if you want to come about an hour and a half North west. I'd even drive you around the course
