Road Rage :(
Why is it that I had to get the woman with blue grey 80's hair and a total policing personality. The minute I met her, I knew I failed my roadtest. Haha....I stopped past a red light to turn right, and she hit the brakes. I asked if that was the automatic fail and she said....."We will talk about you score later." I was like, "well, I think I recall that being an automatic fail?right?" she repeats louder..."WE WILL TALK ABOUT YOUR TEST LATER." We continue driving down a narrow side street there's a vehicle coming towards me and I see that he has space on his side to pull over, he does, and she hits the brakes again. "You have to let that guy through." "Yeah, I know, he has space on that side, he's in his space" "Well, you can't force him to turn, you should give him the right of way." he's waiting to go through, and she's forcing me to reverse, to let him through. She grabbed my wheel and was telling me I was gonna hit a car, ridiculous.
From then on I drove 60 down Macdonald to the motor vehicle branch thinking, why the fuck do I have to do a road test with a middle aged hag sitting beside me....if there's one thing in this world that I hate, it's short bitchy clipboard toting post-menopausal woman with no children, that won't answer you properly. Seriously, I should have said, "I can see this is an automatic fail, me, being in a car with, you." AHHHHH!!! Last edited by lou_belle; Jan 31, 05 at 01:25 PM.

if you are turning right and the light is red, you must stop before the line and then pull out slowly to check for traffic, and you must always give the right of way when taking a road test because they will grill you on every little dumb thing.
good luck next time

It was so scary, she didn't even say a word or anything. I said Isn't it nice how it was supposed to poor rain and it turned out to be sooo sunny? It was silence. I get uncomfortable when you feel like you can't say anything:( I'm so mad.

I go for my test on march 16th. No driving school, just plain old self taught. Bought the car the 2000 dollars ended up spending 3500+ in repairs (thats why you never buy a used volkswagen) and I'll be showing the "examiner" that I spent all this shit on the car so I take good care of it. I've put about 60k on it mainly all highway though. Only thing is is that I'll be doing the driving test here in abbotsford. And from what I understand its a total joke. I know someone who went to do there driving test and the examiner had a shit load of paperwork to do and basically told him "just drive around I have a whole shit load of paper work to do". So buddy was driving around while the examiner was reviewing a ton of papers that he had in his hand and then the examiner was like "well bout 45 minutes lets go back to the drivers bureau". He got his license, Didn't have really do any parking at all.

wow im glad i got a funny fat dude. i liked him. BUT this driving program thing has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever! i hate it sooo much! oh man i could go on and on and on but i wont. :p anyways....
my bf went to get rid of his N.. and they failed him because....1) he put his car in neutral when he came to a stop sign(manual car)...2) because he put his hand at the bottom of his steering wheel while turning. ohhh and he reduced his speed too soon when exiting of the highway.. hahahaha i laughed and i hate icbc with a passion.

Follow the fuckin rules, be more cautious than you need to be and don't talk, just drive. There's a pass, right there. Better luck next time.

They tell you right in the book how you're "supposed" to turn the steering wheel: Keep your hands at 9 and 3 or 10 and 2 and use the hand over hand motion. It's RIGHT in the book, of course the instructor is going to call you on that. People that use a highway lane to slow down before exiting drive me fuckin nuts, and they can cause some serious accidents too! If you're doing the speed limit, an exit will give you plenty of time to slow your vehicle down! I hate ICBC too, but honestly, this shit aint too hard and blaming the person instructing you is getting you no where! Know your shit! Jaymie, this is nothing against you or your boyfriend. I'm just stating my opinion. P.S. I still think what you did to that poor boy at the bar was evil! :)

hahah yah yah i know but! the ppl need to realize that ppl have their own way of driving after a while. its a proven fact that after you learn something u start doing it your own way.. u know? its in my psych textbook but im tooo lazy to look up what it is called. NO ONE drives perfectly. i know i never hold the steering wheel the exact way ur suposed to cuz it doesnt feel comfortable for me.. they need to test all drivers! and i bet all of them would fail! they just like to make young ppl suffer... yes i know that alot of the accidents are caused by young ppl BUT what about all those horrible older drivers.. they have almost killed me (literally) many times. i know i probaly sound stupid but! this is a touchy subject for me.. maybe its cuz ive been driving for almost 3 years and my license has been set back to the new god damn n rules.

"You're such a bitchy instructor! You wont even talk and distract me while I'm on my road test! Oh, and slamming on the brakes after I committed that obvious infraction at the red light... real nice, idiot!"
Yeah, that about sums your story up. It's good to hear that there was actually someone in control while that car was moving. These people aren't there to be your friend, chat it up with you and then at the end yell "Yaaaaaaaaay, you got it!" and give you a big hug. They're there to judge if you're a competent driver or not. I much rather survive a test with a brute rather than some dumbass who is just giving away licenses.

And the thing about "they should test all drivers"... come on! The test is there to make sure you know the rules of the road and how to properly handle an automobile. One hand on the top of the steering wheel with the pimp lean all the way into the passanger's seat isn't proper, nor does it make you look any cooler than having your hands at 9 and 3. Maybe you think ICBC makes you suffer, but it's for your own good. If it teaches you to become a safe driver, that's great. If someone chooses to ignore it all... I can only hope they don't waste anyone else's lives in an accident.
