So Frustrated!!!!
Topic 10185 | Page 1
So today was my CDL test day, felt so confident. I only got 2 points on my Pre-trial and got 1 point on my backing because I used and extra pull up on my alley dock. We get to the road test, about halfway through its going pretty great,I go to make a right turn and out of nowhere this car comes flying out of nowhere and cuts off my extra space after I've already committed to the turn and forced me to cut it short and my trailer tires grazed the curb. Ahhhhhh I just wanna scream!!!!! I realized now I should've just stopped right there, but my brain was so racked from nerves it didn't register. Hopefully I'll get to retest tomorrow not real sure though.
Pre-trip* lol

When I took mine, I talked from the time we pulled out of the lot, till I was told by the tester, please shut up, you are breaking my concentration, and I can't score you or make notes. Good luck. You can drive, you just have to prove it to them.
