Missouri Road Test?

I passed my test already. Just wondering how many points you can get before you fail. I missed 1 item on pre trip. Aced skilled. Was a hot mess on the road but passed with 19 points. Just wanted to know how close I was to failing. My first red light turned yellow right about hard break or run it time. I ran it. He wrote down. Got nervous and drove like it was my second day again.

I think your allowed 30 points I'm not sure. I went through with 13 and it was mainly nerves and the torrential downpour.

I was told anything under 20 was good, so you did great!

Hardly anyone ever actually points out on the driving test. If someone fails the driving test it's usually because they did something that is an automatic fail (like impeding traffic).

If the examiner doesn't tell you that you failed then you're still good!

I tested in Mississippi along with another Swift student. I went first, passed.

The other guy came back from his test ride, looking and acting as if he had been sentenced to death. He had stalled twice on railroad tracks! The examiner went to the office, my partner held his head in his hands & almost cried.

The examiner came back and said something like "although you stalled the truck on the railroad tracks during the examination, no train was coming, so you did not break any laws. You passed!"

(The examiner was not pulling legs or making a joke. He was saving the hiney of a perfectly good new CDL-A driver!)

Eroll- you said he was a good driver. How do you know? Did you just meet him once? Did you ride with him when he was driving?

I really am NOT challenging you. I am wondering why u wrote that. Of course the examiner passed him, so he passed, and there is no issue.

I just can't get the formatting right.

You start writing after the bottom of the "block quote" line

So are you accusing of making things up? Well, sometimes I do. Not this time. Mr McCullum (real last name) was student in my class. There were three who tested out that day at the DMV. Mr McCullum was one of the three.

* Eroll- you said he was a good driver. How do you know? SPELLING! Check my name. McCullum was on my group for road training. I watched him drive as a new driver, just as I was one.
* Did you just meet him once? More than once a day. In fact, we sometimes ate lunch together!
* Did you ride with him when he was driving? see 2 questions up

I wrote that to show that sometimes even after the test a DMV examiner can make adjustments. They do not have a "bang! you're dead!" attitude here.

Jetguy mis-spoke:

Eroll [sic] you said he was a good driver. How do you know?

I went back and looked. I did not say he was a good driver. So ... you doubt what I say, then you put words in my mouth. Are those true words, then? (Errol crosses arms, taps toe three times, stares ...) How can they be true if I did not really say them? Are you trying to change history? Caught you. Got it in black & white - I didn't say any such thing!

OK Existential episode is clear. Please return to your normal self.
