    The 2 quickest way to fail a road test:
    1) Skip gears and miss.
    2) Come in too fast for a turn.
    This is a road test; the DMV tester does not give a hoot about how great you think you are. He's just there to fail you. Don't give a reason. Just take the test, be careful, and shift every gear!

    It's funny someone said about coasting failing you, because now the key part of modern trucks and high mpg is coasting in neutral and using momentum to save fuel lol......
