    My instructor hardly did any backing out on the road. Two days on the pad before testing is all he normaly does. If he knows how to do the maneuvers he will be fine. There not hard to do at all. Just got to know the steps. Follow the steps n it'll go in every time. He is testing tommorow?(Tuesday)

    Don't sweat it, I believe students still have three chances at passing the test. Keep in mind also that if he doesn't have an opportunity to practice sufficiently after failing the first time, he can request additional training from other instructors on the pad, or go talk to stan.... My students pass the first time, so I have not run into that problem.....

    The road test you only have three chances, DOT regs. The other tests are based on performance. If they see you makin progress, there'll let you try again. Know of one guy that failed backing atleast 5 times n got another shot at it
