But thats stupid!

[Mcupobob]

So today I drove a hour and half to take my drivers test only to find out that since my horn didn't work I couldn't take it. Not only that I have to reschedule a month later which means I can't get a job because I have no way to get there(for now). Anywho the whole ordeal was stupid and I just need a quick vent.

For disussion has anything similar happen to you?

Ha ha. sorry. Mine went smooth... ish...

I fucked up backing around a corner. But got everything else aced. I figure i failed the only part of the test THAT YOU WILL NEVER USE IN REAL LIFE. EVER.

My drivers test went swimmingly. Although I spent nearly 5 hours practicing parallel parking only to not need to do it. but other than that...

 

[Tagball]

It's been months since my birthday and I still don't feel like taking my driver's test....I'll do it later.

I know that ever since moving to New Jersey, my life has been one gigantic "But that's Stupid-fest!"

If that wheel thing happened to me, I would've shat blood due to pure anger. And then passed out.

i passed mine on the first try, but when i went to do the parrelel parking, there was someone messing around in the practice area, so the test giver started honking my horn and yelling at the dude to move, pretty funny.

Oh, also this dumbass at my school said "They fail you on your first time on purpose, just to make wait some more to take it." I then politely said that i passed on my first time, and all his friends laughed. He was trying to make it seem like it wasn't his fault that he failed.

Dude having a horn is pretty important. Yes it's dumb but the blame is on you.

I was so, SO sorely tempted to say something snarky when they asked the battery of "Are you addicted to anything" and "Do you have any medical condition that results in the loss of..." questions, but I managed to resist, and I now have my little Class D permit and am working on getting enrolled in a driving course and logging the requisite 50 hours.

Hows a horn important at all? Never once had I seen someone use it, inless in anger. The horn broken wasn't my fault either first I was never told it would be required ever by anyone including my grandma who worked there for years, and the pervious owners never told us it didn't work.

This one time, I was driving my mom's work SUV, there was freezing rain, and I slid through a red-light camera(which is another rant entirely). So anyways, I went to dispute the ticket, but I couldnt even get in to see a judge because I wasnt the registered owner. So I came back a second time with my mom, but SHE isnt even the registered driver, so I had to come back with a signed letter from whoever was responsible for the vehicles from her work. I went back a third time, but I still didn't have the right letter. The fourth time, I had all the stuff I needed, got into see the judge in about 2 minutes. He immediately saw that the weather was crappy and dismissed it. This took a total of 5 minutes. Oh was I pissed off that something so easy took so much time and effort on my part.

How many years has your grandmother not worked there for? You bought the vehicle and took the previous owners word at face value? Even if you know the previous owners it is preferable to get an inspection. Some uses for a horn are; warn other vehicles that are dangerously close, warn drivers of unsafe actions, use to alert pedestrians/vehicles if car is out of control, and honk at the sexy ladies.

Definitely that last one ; )

World of Warcraft problem. A guy hacked my account, and after a few weeks I got it back. I noticed I had time on it and figured he used a card. Two weeks later I put another time card on. Two weeks after that my account gets locked down. Turns out he paid on a credit card, and pulled it back. So I got a chargeback for those first two weeks, 15 bucks, which will be hard to get to them from Canada in cash form. And I still had a month and a half on my time card, which they wont even consider taking off of.

So, yeah, I got screwed out of thirty bucks because Blizzard is run by chimps with down syndrome.

Left turns are over rated! Of course, you don't drive so you might not get that reference. How do you get around without a car? Public Transit?

Vehicle related, I failed inspection once because there was water in one of the reflectors of my car. I drilled (read: had someone else drill) holes in it and let it dry out, then passed inspection.

Hey, it's my New Jersey buddy! Whenever I mention the glorious state of NJ,(which is quite often) that is cue to discuss this place of golden opportunity.

Speaking of public transit:

A few days ago, I went to New York City with my eccentric cousin. He is odd. We took an Amtrak train into the utopian city. After all was said and done (New York City is like Hell on Earth), we got back on the train. It was an express and everything was going smoothly.....

UNTIL:

The train started to drastically slow. We were crawling at a snail's pace and continued to do so for 5 hours. The cause of this mind-suckingly slow delay was that a woman committed suicide on the tracks. Certainly not fun stuff. Plus, the people we were stuck on the train with were absolutely foul. That's my story for today.

My grandmother worked there for 35 years I think, could be more(Like I said she just never told me the horn was needed.). Anywho how often do you even use it to warn anyone of anything? If you are serving out of control people will see it, and the horn will be the last thing you will be worrying about. Espically for a 30 minute drivers test. I also got the car for free after my neighbour died, it checked out with everything. Didn't think to check the horn.

My friend went to his driving test yesterday and the teacher had gone on holiday a day before.
She scheduled the damn thing.

 

[Haunted Serenity]

I passed on my first shot but since i didn't properly park on an incline i almost failed. Yeah the incline on which i parked was about 5 degrees short of level so i didn't think it mattered. Nope that was the incline section. Whatever i passed so that guy can keep playing his little game of trickery.

 

[LongAndShort]

I fucked up my first driver's test by failing to indicate a few to many times (who the fuck indicates left when coming out of a roundabout? It's fuckin annoying and unnecessary!).

I saw a couple of people have to cancel their driving tests because lights or horns or mirrors weren't working.

 

[somerandom]

Dude, I really like your sex.

I like your sex too, babes. But you and I both know that there's more private ways of arranging it.

But, sweetie, I just love you so much I want to shout it from a mountain top! Or an internet forum

I know. Wanna see the car? We don't need a horn for what I have in mind.

Sorry if this offends anyone.

I failed an emissions test once because the car could not "be started in the usual manner".

Well, see - the steering knuckle was broken, and the mechanism that actually allowed the car to start became separated. So, in order to start the car I had to put the key into the on position, and then take a screwdriver to slide the mechanism.
