Failed my road test

My guess is stop, show you saw the situation unfolding and were waiting to see what the other vehicle decided to do. Just my guess, for all I know the guy was looking to fail someone so it didn't look like be was passing everyone, who knows. Ive seen that with flight examiners.

 

Obviously the intersection was not clear... He did not SEE the pick up truck.. not the same thing

 

If he proceeded into the intersection and a vehicle came OVER the hill to his right AFTER he was in the intersection, then it was clear when he started.

 

Seems like a very bad route. Having to make turns that put the truck into oncoming lanes, and having a blind hill so close to the turn.

I think that was pointed out in page one of this train wreck.

 

And you weren't in the truck. Two people were. One new guy who was so stressed out that he couldn't get a greased BB up his butt and the other was a trained examiner that has been on the same route (that was approved by the state) possibly hundreds of times... Guess which one has the only real credibility and opinion here?

 

It may have been, has to be something in regard to his reaction when the situation changed. Very real world scenario, IMO.

 

Ya, but today is a new day, or evening....

Mikeeeee

 

Neither were you.


Ain't opinions nice......


Just because they are "the official", doesn't make them right 100% of the time.

 

It does when they are the ones who know the standards, the experience and the liability.... OH and that test scoring sheet where they mark off tasks as they are completed. You can blame the examiner all you like. but the outcome is the same and the examiner is still going to be the decider of who has and has not completed the skills test successfully. If you really want to save the world and save all the poor little mistreated and abused wannabes.. get your big boy pants on and go become an examiner.. then and only then will you realize how wrong and even grossly naive you are and have been this entire thread.

Of the people who I tested who were not successful the vast majority of them never knew when they failed or why. A few of them knew exactly when they failed as the standards were explained to them before they even got in the truck during the explanation of what the rule of the the test are. Some people came back knowing they had failed when in fact they had passed the test.. where they screwed up, was not a scored section of the route.. then may have lost points here and there, some squeak by some fail on the first test.. some fail in the first ten feet as then didn't put on the seat belts.. Nothing unfair or insidious, or evil happened here, the candidate simply made a bad choice at the wrong time.

This is why its a fact that if drivers had to retake and pass the CDL skills test (let alone the pre-trip and air brake test) five years after the first, most would fail miserably.
