the RMV? maybe a typo for DMV? well here you have a full road course with cones and all the works, if you hit a cone, you fail, and if you dont use your signals you fail, if you hit the curb when you are trying to paralle park you fail, you go over the speed limit (i think the speed limit is 15 on the DMV road course) you fail, all this lil shit will fail you, if the dude that your doing the road test with doesnt have access to the brake because there is a center console in the way and you dont have an e-brake on the center console then you fail.

Re: I Got Ripped Off.
2 words - Poetic Justice.
If he has his own trainig cars (or his personal car for that matter), I'd buy a cheap ass beater, like a late 80's caprice/crown vickie, and have a little late night demolition fun when they're parked.
Then of course, leave one of those nice little "sorry I hit your vehicle notes" and 'ps' the bottom, probably wouldn't have happened if I weren't screwed out of dirver's training courses.

Thats another reason why people fail. If the trooper feels/notices that you are nervous while driving, he will fail you. He failed me my 1st time, and that was becuase i was very nervous, plus i had never driven before, 3-5 minutes here and there, but not enough to say you have exp. They carry big ass magnums, this guys and a .357 and he was big like a wrestler. He could barely fit in the car i took the test in ('91 hyundai excel). Fun times with that car, almost got killed because of it.

Re: I Got Ripped Off.
Just curious, why did you need to hire someone to take you out driving for 6 hours? I never had to do that, and got my license just fine.

2 reasons, 1 my mom wont/wouldnt teach me how to drive in her brand new car.
2 after you do 6 hours with a driving school they give you this certificate that will save you anywhere from 4 to like 15% on car insurance, with this lil certificate im still ganna be paying 256 a month for just liability for a 95 v6 camaro.
