How did it feel like when you were take your driving test to get your license?

Title says it all. I'm turning 16 on july 8th and I will be using my 2000 focus zx3 so that should make it easier, but don't get me wrong here I can drive bigger vehicles i've driven from 20ft box trucks to 24ft box trucks since my dad used to have a produce company.

pfft.... licences...

i very much doubt i'll be nervous, i might take the test in the summer. until then i'll just drive carefully and hope i dont get caught.

my friend failed his test for being cocky, he did a handbrake turn once the test was oficially finished, but he failed because it was wreckless driving.

Theres 2 things you NEVER read a manual for... a car, and a computer.

The manuals are for people who are like "Gas make vroom brake make slow."

i only read the manual when you need to do something like change a fuse. it doesn't take a genius to work out how to drive a car. and all the buttons have li'l purdy pictures on them to explain.

Re: How did it feel like when you were take your driving test to get your license?

I was not nervous about my driving ability at all.

I WAS nervous because the examiner was a truly stunning and gorgeous woman.......... it's really difficult to drive when you are trying to peek down her blouse.......

I passed my test in about 2 minutes and she displayed absolutely NO interest in me personally

isnt there one state where the entire driving test takes place in the test centre's parking lot? i saw something like that on TV a while back.

I had my drivers test with my drivers ed. teacher, so I wasn't all that nervous since I was already use to his cussing and grabbing the steering wheel and slamming on the brake if I went up to the line a little too quickly.

Re: How did it feel like when you were take your driving test to get your license?

Unless you absolutely have no idea how to drive at all, it is impossible to fail a test. Driving tests are super easy, in most states they are probably too easy. When I got my license about all they looked for was that I didn't run red lights and that I didn't try and make a right turn from the left turn lane.
If somebody can't handle that, then they shouldn't even be allowed to walk in public, let alone drive a vehicle.
