    My 'wife' training through swift. Did her 240, went back to Columbus, Oh. to test out. Male 'drivers' testing, got leeway onshifting over train tracks, drove for shorter period, few other things. She had to test for more time, did all perfectly till last right hand turn, clipped a curb and failed had to go back out. Looks like chauvanists in Columbus, don't care for women drivers.

    Just cause you wife can't drive without clipping curbs doesnt make the tester a chauvinists.

    Well from what I got from her and her mentor the tester allowed the guys to get away with many things including something that was supposed to be a DOT infraction. Ran her twice as long as the men. Also according to her and her mentor she has never hit a curb before. If she would have had equal road time, this probably doesn't occur. I have to guess you are a chauvenist if you are defending them.
    The mentor actually was the first to accuse them af being chauvenists.

    "did all perfectly till last right hand turn, clipped a curb"

    So she didn't hit the curb?

    I remember when I had to take my road test at Columbus, there was me and a lady, she was treated the same as me, and she was experienced, and she had some promblems, and still passed
