Failed the driving test

About 2.5 hrs total driving. It's not much. But I already knew how to shift the 6 speed. Shifting up and down not really the problem. I was driving manual cars years ago. I'm trying to remember how to start manual truck smoothly. It's kind of jerking. I need to find the sweet spot between the clutch, brake and gas pedal when starting. I think I need to work on that. Nothing else comes to mind to better myself on the road.

 

Yes, my upshifting is perfect, downshifting is good, of course when Iam slowing down I had to break, come down to the right rpm and then clutch, then shift down, so it's slower than upshifting. But still I'd say my downshifting is pretty good. Other than that , we did full 45 minutes of driving on the highways, city traffic, back roads, up to the speed , in very safe manner. I wonder if she thought I was too nervous, because I was checking the mirrors a lot, every 10 seconds. She maybe thought I'm too nervous. Also when I start at the lights. I should probably start with 2 on gear. I started with 1, and it's really slow when passing the intersection, and of course I can't shift on the intersection, she gave me bad glances, lol.
But anyways like you said, I can't change the facts of being failed. I just have to try again. For the test , I'll go to same DPS again and see. and then decide what to do if I fail again. The good thing that, I won't have to do pre trip and backing, which wasn't hard ,but it takes a long time to finish those two. Thank you.

 

There were average of 25 students at the weekends. So by the time your turn comes, not a lot of driving.

 

This is a very helpful tip, I'll work on this. Thank you.

 

The

The trucks we're using is 6 speed synchronized ,so not 10 speed double clutching. That's why I thought I had to use accelerator from the starting point. I wonder if 6 speed trucks would still start moving( just with clutch releasing slowly, while holding the brake) before pushing the throttle?
