Today, I took my driver's test. I did everything flawlessly, but my examiner kept all but pissing his pants throughout. He yelled, "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?!" when I drove past a traffic light just as it was about to turn red. The road was almost empty. He failed me on the spot. FML

Same thing different taste

For the test, you need to play it overly safe. Then, once you're granted a license, drive like every other crazy ******.

Your and his perception of flawless driving clearly differ. I trust his judgement more.

I'd fail you too. You need to drive safely, no matter how many cars on the road there are. You might end up getting too used to playing it risky otherwise, and cause a big wreck.

You never know who could come speeding through that green light.

Where I live I the examiner ha to use the brake on the driving exam it's an automatic fail

Where I'm from, the examiner doesn't have a break. We test in our own cars.

I failed my first driving test for going five over the speed limit. Don't feel too bad.

They teach u that in drivers ed that even 1 over the speed limit is an auto fail so i would fail you too

They didn't have drivers Ed here. And I passed going 3 over the speed limit. The only thing that I was counted off for on my test was apparently for "not looking long enough" before I changed lanes. So I was marked off 1 point.

If you have time to stop before a yellow light instead of speeding through you should in almost all circumstances. Saving a few minutes isn't worth risking the entire remainder of your life.

"Flawless drivers" like you are the reason most traffic accidents happen. If you are unable to be careful when someone is testing your hability to be safe while driving, I wonder what'll do when you drive alone.

I don't know about Australia but in the US you're supposed to stop for yellow lights as long as it's safe to do so.

In Australia you're supposed to stop for yellow/orange lights too. Plenty of people don't though. :(

You gotta make the instructor at least think you're safe...

You have to play it safe when taking a driving test. There are a lot of ways to fail. Trust me I know. I've failed the test three times. First time I was too close to the other lane. Second time accidentally back into someone's yard during the back up part. Oops. Third time I didn't stop behind the stop sign

I think the law should change, whereas if you fail three times, you should have to wait a year to retake it

How do you "accidentally" back into someone's yard? o_O

Cars have three mirrors for a reason, #30...

You always stop for a yellow light unless you're past the point of no return when the light turns yellow. For a test, you always act like there are cars on the road even if there aren't. How does the instructor know you won't do that if there are other drivers?
