| Took my test in Conn. All I can say is if you floated the gears during testing you failed.. So best bet would be to double cluch... |

| I am sure they will deduct some points for not Double Clutching, but I would have a hard time believing they would fail you. Just go through the motions like you are double clutching if nothing else. Are you having a hard time doing it? |

| You can fake double-clutching. In CA the examiners aren't required to have a CDL and basically run off their agendas. When I took my road test, I got stuck with "Russell" who had a 95% failure rate, the most at the San Berdo CVDMV site. He caught me "faking it" and asked why I didn't use the clutch. I told him I didn't need it. So he told me "So, you think you can drive this truck without a clutch, huh. Prove it." I passed the road test tach shifting rest of the way.

| In Pennsylvania, I'm pretty sure you must double clutch. I school I went to gave us our driving tests. We had to double clutch. Right after we all passed our tests, we were taught how to float the gears lol |

| I did my training in Newport, Ar. And, was tested by a third party tester. We were instructed that we must double clutch to pass. I don't know if that was Arkansas regulations, or what. We were taught to double clutch. Stupid part is, we were trained on stick shift trucks. But, the company I went to used auto-shift trucks. |

| For a new driver, the auto-shift was a good thing. At least, that's how I saw it. I've seen a lot of newer drivers get hung up, trying to shift. They'd just be grinding away, end up having to come to a complete stop. But, with an auto-shift, the driver can focus on his/her turns, traffic, or whatever. Just put it in D, and go. Of course, you could hold it in a certain gear if you needed. Or, put it in manual shift mode, and push a button to change gears. I say push a button. It was like that in the Mack's I drove. |
