    I called, made an appointment and went in for face to face...She gave me list of documents I would need to gather, told me to get mvr, physical and drug screen and all bring back to her...I took me a week to get certain docs and 2 weeks after that I got the 'all good' and started school the next week...I take my test next Wednesday!!!!!!

    My third attempt is Wednesday the 3rd at 1pm. I have school the day before and that morning. Third time's a charm?

    My first, and hopefully only attempt is also Wed at 8am!...Yesterday we spent the whole day at the actual testing area, both of us had the chance to run the whole test(given by instructor) 4 times, we both passed every time and were actually 'wishing' we could have taken it while we were there!...The road test is a lot shorter than I thought it would be and by the end of the day we were both driving it without any assistance from instructor on where to turn...I really can't see anything but a bad case of the nerves causing either of us to fail, but they wouldn't have made that 'poop happens' bumper sticker if it didn't happen so I'll stay cautiously optimistic, yet confident that I can do it...Good luck to you!

    6100.00 for what, are you nutz... You just got bent over the fuel tank... It will cost you more when you back into me, time to call it. Do something else.

    We don't have a course. Our road test is on a real road. The parallel park is on a narrow two lane street with no shoulder.

    One more time- there is nothing else! I live in crappy upstate NY and there are no jobs worth a ####. And if $6100 is nothing for you, then you pay it! I have a wife and two kids and $6k is like a million to us!

    i do wish both of you the best of luck....on your test days...!!!

    and that is INSANE, NOT to have a test site. the states i deal with ALL have multiple test sites, usually the it is the DOT sand/salt/fueling yards, all lined and coned for testing ANY commercial vehicle....except the state of RI, they only have but one site we go to.

    you sir, have it tougher, so you get "more" best wishes/luck......!!!:biggrin_25525:

    Our road course was also on 'real' roads in the city of Louisville...The parallel, straight back and offsets are done in a large parking lot...
