bull crap past the fence.

*Raven* · 10-09-2003, 08:23 PM

man this has been one hell of a week, I have been so nerves, because I had to take the road test, and didnt do so well. (it was my first time) and I was beyond nervous, to nervous that I didnt even see the red light I ran through.
(it was for pedastrions, and it was higher up than most others) I came back to school the next day, and so far im one of the only few thats old enough to take the test as of the moment.
but whats really pissing me off, is that the few friends that I dont really care to talk to always, made fun of me for not passing.................
well of course I made fun of them than beat the crap out of them.

I can handle that, but than my best friend did the same thing.......and I didnt quote know what to say......so i told him to f*** off and I walked away.

I jusyt hate when people have to be suck ass holes. essapically when they havent even gone through what I have.
sorry for the rant, but it just really pisses me off.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 10-09-2003, 08:54 PM

was nervous during my road tests too(the one for your permit and the one for your actual liscense) I would almost miss stoping at stop signs and have to brake hard and then I would stop places where there was no sign......I was very nervous. Im a good driver now, though.

Eternelle · 10-09-2003, 09:02 PM

It's ok, MP. Just ignore them. They don't have any right to laugh at you for that. I was so nervous when I took my first road test, and in the end it took me three times before I passed it. Sure, it got really frustrating, but what can I say? Keep practicing and stay focused, and you'll do better next time.

*Raven* · 10-09-2003, 09:03 PM

ya I do good when im not put under presure, it just sucks.
I screwwed up on almost every thing.........

*That Matt Guy* · 10-10-2003, 03:29 PM

We didn't even have a road test!

oh man that had to suck!

*Mars-Chan* · 10-12-2003, 11:21 AM

YEAH! And when you messed up he took off points of the sheet he was grading you on. Needless to say, I had to do it more than once.....

SkaterMike · 10-12-2003, 12:26 PM

I've failed mine twice so far, and I'm going for it again soon. I have exactly the same problem as you MP, I can't work well under pressure, but I'm fine when I'm just driving around any other time. Hang in there dude, you'll get it.

*Mars-Chan* · 10-12-2003, 12:49 PM

Good luck you two!

Blaze DTGG · 10-12-2003, 01:17 PM

hell I was so nervous about getting behind the wheel for the first time.. I didnt even take the classes until I was 17. I had been a passenger in a few car wrecks and i did not want to be on the road.. my mom had to force me..

once I learned though.. It was neat.. I was like.. why the HELL was I nervous.. this is fun..

Just take a deep breath... and relax..

and tell your friends to piss off.. it was rude of them to act like that

*Mars-Chan* · 10-12-2003, 01:20 PM

I'm with Blaze on this one. Tell your friends to go annoy someone else.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-12-2003, 04:25 PM

I remember my driving tests.... The road test was easier than the written exam for me, because how often is there going to be a bus o the other median with it's stop arm out getting ready to turn?

I know people who've taken the driving exam around 4 times and still haven't passed it, so don't feel too bad MP.

Good luck to you and SkaterMike. Like every one's said, just relax. Another tip is to pretend the grader isn't in the car with you, just make sure you get the directions though =\.

*damnhooligan* · 10-12-2003, 04:49 PM

I learned how to drive in Montana, in a highly unpopulated area where speed limits on the highways were defined only by one's perception of "reasonable and prudent". Needless to say, I'm now able to handle driving at not only unreasonable but imprudent speeds in a piece of sh*t car. It comes in handy when living in Germany, really.

Best of luck on getting through those drivers tests. Working under pressure sucks, but its an unfortunate side effect of life. Don't let anyone get ya down, it just takes a bit of practice. I've seen chimps drive. (No joke.)

thanks, and good luck on your next test.

SkaterMike · 10-13-2003, 12:44 PM

Thanks everyone. My dad told me about pretending the grader isn't there, and it helps abit. I'm going to ask to play music on my next test, that really helps to relax me.

*Mars-Chan* · 10-13-2003, 12:49 PM

That may help. Hope it works.

*Cascadia* · 10-13-2003, 02:56 PM

Just focused and do not get distracted from things on the side of the road or in the car.

one thing that helped a little was ignoring what he was writting, when your driving.
