On the road with Millis

It's not unlimited, just so you know. For my alley dock I was allowed 2 pull-ups and 2 goals. I used 4 pull-ups which cost me 2 points. You are allowed 12 points total between all 3 maneuvers. If you hit one cone, it's inevitable you'll hit several, at a cost of 2 points each. Spend your points wisely. The offset lane change is WAY different than Bill's course. You have a lot less room. You will need to turn sharper and sooner.

 

You are overthinking your test. Your examiner will answer any questions you have before you begin the test. If you are ALLOWED to start in 3rd, be grateful. If you can't shift during a turn or during an intersection they will tell you before you start. If you are in motion and the light turns yellow as you are passing under it, keep going. You cannot legally be failed for that.

 

There is a spot in Union NJ that has a green light exiting a warehouse facility that literally has a 5 second green light. I am not joking. At some point you have to say "f this" and go. No cop in the world could ticket you for that.

 

So here's the deal...before you start rolling on your road test, express your concerns and ask questions as far as expectations for performance. Your examiner will answer those questions before you start. I am quickly learning that Bill doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does.
