Finally Passed/Rant .... - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**VUnit2k5** · 10-16-2006, 07:36 PM

My G road test for my whole liscence.

all is good but, WhyTF is the second go around marked so harshly, nobody should have to do this pitifully designed and enforced test more than 2 times or once, like how bad do u have to be, i feel if the instructor doesnt feel safe with u driving u fail and if they survived and made it to the center in one piece u get to pass.

IMO i think the government needs to be LESS strict on newer drivers, and MORE strict on OLDER drivers as they didnt get the training we have...

just sick of so many companies and such giving young male drivers bad wraps...

i wanna know how the hell all the cabbies got their liscences !! commeon gimmie a break ..

they should also reduce the frigging cost for the test as well, 75 fcukin dollars.. what are u paying towards I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE MONEY GOES ! .

if anyone can shed light for me im all ears !

glad i passed, but i dont think i deserved a fail the 2 prior times one bit.

**HazeDrake** · 10-16-2006, 07:39 PM

well your paying for the ticket, 2 your paying for their time (would u want somneone who faisl every single time to be costing tax money?), and 3 the driving tests aren't that hard, if you can;t pass them then you shouldn't be driving

**HazeDrake** · 10-16-2006, 07:40 PM

i wonder though if they fail some people sometimes just because they need to meet a quota or something, I mean if everyone passed would it look bad on them, as if they weren;t doin their job?

**fixitmattman** · 10-16-2006, 07:59 PM

Wow, if you can't pass the G road test you don't belong in a car. We got it easy here. Go to Europe and pass one of their driving tests.

**VUnit2k5** · 10-16-2006, 08:03 PM

no they failed me due to some bullshit traffic violations i nver heard of ..

the second time some of it said speeding like 5 kms -15 kms over, and that was because of the FLOW OF TRAFFIC, i had to or idda gotten rear ended ..

i think its horse crap and i do beleive they have to meet a quota because they walked away from me after the test like i was a piece of shit, a nobody, like they even gave a dam about me .. their there to get paid and thats IT ..

they are very selfish ppl i think anyways ..

**ids748** · 10-16-2006, 08:07 PM

damn your almost bad as my cuzin lol no offence.

but i dont know why i never failed I was speeding on the on ramp 10km/hr over the limit. I didn't check my mirrors much as i was told. I couldn't reverse park into my spot correctly at the end and touched the line. I was like shit i faield but i passed. I thought any speeding woulda failed you. The examiner even mentioned i was speeding on the ramp. lol

**BlueFamilia** · 10-16-2006, 09:01 PM

the G test IMO was easier than the G2 test.

**CivNick** · 10-16-2006, 09:27 PM

long story short due to the licencing beru is not regulated i have to do my G test cause i had to do the g2 twice (passed both times)

some pointers??

what i should do or not do

should i take my civic (5 speed) or my dads 06 corrola

**mazda_girl** · 10-16-2006, 10:01 PM

isnt the speed on the on ramp a "suggested" speed anyways? maybe im wrong but thats what i was taught in driver training back in the day...

i think im going to do a refresher course just because they tell you exactly waht to expect and i have soooo many bad habits, so many especially since i have my own car

im scared for it so bad though because i hear more people fail it than pass it on their first attempt

**fixitmattman** · 10-16-2006, 10:18 PM

The worst part about the G test is driving with your hands at 10 and 2 again

It's the exact same junk as before, 3pt turn, parallel park, etc etc. Just make sure if you have an mtx not to shift during an intersection unless it's a long one or you absolutely have to, and always be in gear as long as you're moving. Don't forget with highway merging if you're not going at least 90 when you merge you get points taken off. And overexagerate your mirror checks and shoulder checks so they can see you're doing it.

I had no trouble passing it, but more importantly my sister had no problem passing it

if you can't pass it with a standard you shouldn't be allowed to drive one.

**AdamCL** · 10-17-2006, 02:23 PM

^^^thats not fair...

i took one of my G tests in the Jetta after I had no been driving for long...anyways. I have my G now so I really dont matter...

why not? because you weren't able to? i believe thats how it is in europe. a driving test proves that you're able to drive, if you are not able to pass with a standard transmission then you are not able to properly drive a standard.

i haven't gone for my G yet even though i've been able to for over 2 years because i'm lazy and don't have my own car on the road right now, but when i do take it i will be taking it in a standard.

btw adam, how many attempts did it take you to finally pass you G?

**240drifter** · 10-17-2006, 02:48 PM

I t all depends on the instructor u get i failed my g2 1 time he gave me no reason had the same guy second time and i just passed and whent for my G and passed with flying colours she said u did nuthin wrong but i didn't have to parralele park but it was the same as the g2 test just drove around for 30mins and she made me reverse park 2 times .

**240drifter** · 10-17-2006, 02:57 PM

I drove standard for 2 1/2 years but i never used a standard for my road test that is stupid to think if u can't pass in a standard u shouldn't drive one cuz you gotta shift a certain way / turning corners going through an intersection who cares evryone is different i hate driving auto manual is the best way to go but they would prolly fail me in a standard cuz of my driving habbits and just cuz they say its wrong don't mean F$$KING shit cuz u can't judge wether or not they have enough experience just cuz they're not driving the way u tell them to i think learning to drive a standard when u first get ur liscence is the best cuz then u can drive almost anything.

they tell you to drive that way for a reason, if you actually think about it then you will realize why each rule is there. they didn't just smoke some drugs and make up random rules.

True but if someone who has been driving stick for 30 years has to go take a road test and fails cuz they didn't shift properly does that mean they don't have enough experience to drive manual .

**fixitmattman** · 10-17-2006, 03:04 PM

This is funny. The driving instructor doesn't care. He gets paid the same if you pass or not. You have to do everything on the checklist properly. If you can't do it properly or think your own way is better and don't do it the way it's supposed to be done you loose marks. Surprise surprise, it's just like a highschool test (or grade school for some of you). Loose enough marks and you fail. Plain and simple.
