I'll be going to take my driving test at the D.M.V. this coming Friday September 25, 2015! My aunt is letting me use her car to take the driving test, I'm grateful for that. I can't wait for Friday to get here! I hope I pass the driving test. I'm nervous and excited at the same time for Friday! D.M.V., ready or not here I come!

Just keep calm and carry on!

You couldn't possibly do as badly as I did when I first tried.  I took my driving test in Charleston, SC.  I did O****il I got to the parallel parking test.  (Do they still do that??)  Anyway, the parallel parking was done in an area which was defined by a parking-space sized edifice constructed on 8" railroad ties.  it was so scary and intimidating, I was really terrified.  As I backed in, and began my turn into the space, my right front bumper just BARELY ticked the structure.  I gasped and turned to see the testor striding angrily into the building after he'd leaped out of the car, leaving the door standing open.  (What a creep)

Needless to say I didn't pass.  But I got up the nerve to retry about two years (!) later and passed easily.

So, the moral of the story:  Even if you don't pass this time, keep trying.

Atta Boy!

I'll try!

I'll find out when I go in at do the driving test. When I took my driving lessons that's what the driving instructor had me do the parallel parking at every lesson I had at the start and finish of every lesson I had taken, even parking in a parking lot at a mall. Wow, that got to be something with the parking you had to do. I bet it was scary and intimidating, I bet you were terrified. I bet you gasped on that turn into the space as the left front bumper just barely ticked the structure. Your testor did that!? The testor does sound like a creep.

Sorry you didn't pass that time around. Glad you retried and passed!

So true.

Hey, I had to edit the first reply to "right front", not "left front".  

You'll be fine.  just keep practicing!

Okay, that's alright.

I hope you're right. That's what I did today, I did sign-up for another 1 hour and 30 minutes driving lesson for today just to get ready for this coming Friday. I talked to my aunt today on the phone and she told me that I'll drive her car to the D.M.V. so I can take the driving test. I'm looking forward to this coming Friday.
