    They didn't with me, but they had reason to. If you have any doubts I wouldn't chance it or bring bus money home with you just incase.

    Well I'm starting on week 5 and heading to springfeild to test on wed or thurs. I've did a lot more than the min 80. Almost double. But my trainer did most of the backing hince why I am out a little longer. Appear he did a few things that was not suppose to happen and now it's costing me more time out.
    Hes actually admitted that he feels that he has short changed me as a student, not knowing how to teach me certain things. I'm his 2nd student and he said after me he is going to go strictly TnT. So I get a feeling that I will have to teach myself a lot later on.

    I've been back for my day on the pad and testing. It started out as get in yesterday morning pad all day and test today. Well I've been here for 24 hours and the tires have no touched the pad. My instructor has went to Walmart, best buy and who knows where else. I wanna practice. I so pissed I could scream!! And yes I think he knows I too. I've been asking him every few hours when are we going to get some pad time. I haven't parell parked yet and I test tomorrow. Lord help me I will need it

    Frustrating, isn't it? You can gain a lot just by going out to the pad and watching other folks working their way through it.

    And he told me this a little while ago " Oh yea I forgot to teach you something 5 weeks ago you need to master for the test. Proper downshifting. " WTF!!!!!!!

    Yea I spent 3 hours watching on the pad yesterday. That did help. Thanks.

    #### sinker sorry bro we were in orientation together i tested out last satursay now in my tnt phase but you can push your test back i did by a day granted my instructor agreed there was no need to test if i wasnt confident i would pass just a few tips on the road test dont hit any curves no shifting while actively turning dont coast to stoplights or stop signs this is where that downshifting comes in and watch your signs goodluck!

    Well after my trainer finally got out of bed ( noon ) we got started. So my way to make it up to him was I went between the pad and shifting a full 8 hours. I'm not totally comfortable with the down shifting and learning parallel parking all today so I'm going to practice tomorrow and test on sat.

    That is lame. You really need to rip him on the eval, and I would also talk to Stan about him. He does not need to be training
