Thank you all! I have been trying to encourage him. I know he can do this and will be a great driver! I will keep you posted.

The first time, he was making a left turn and the little car jumped in to his left as he started to turn and the instructor said he shouldn't have let him get there in the first place. ???? an accident is better?

The second time, the guy was stopped and he started to make his turn, the guy rolled in to the crosswalk and my boyfriend corrected not to hit him and the instructor said he should have stopped, automatically failing him, but made him continue with the test. This isn't his first experience with trucks, so I just don't get it.

My b/f is presently in a CDL program. He has done everything, has his permit, driven and all his school evaluators have said he was an excellent driver and probably one of the best in his class, yet their MVD testors failed him twice (an automatic failure). First time because some moron cut him off making a turn (and he avoided an accident) and the second time because as he was negotiating a turn some idiot on a cell phone, who was stopped at the time, decided to start to roll across the crosswalk when he started his turn (guess he saw the "student driver" sign on the truck and decided he wanted a new car). That was at the beginning of the test, but the evaluator made him continue to take the test. Why? You failed him.

My b/f avoided any issues and was told "you shouldn't have given him the room to invade." WTH? Would they rather you have an accident? In any event, he is devastated and has to go back one more time. If he doesn't pass it this time, they want an additional $750 to do it. I don't think so.....$3900 for a class that contains approximately 6 hours of driving time.

My b/f is 59 years old but it seems they are failing the experienced people and passing the young yahoos that I wouldn't let walk my dog. Any ideas or experiences? Thanks.
