Looking for help passing dmv test
They should look for reasons to fail people. Driving is serious and people should be required to be good at it. I would rather not be killed by someone who can't control their vehicle.

When I got on the highway for the first time speed demons were weaving in and out of traffic one almost hit me as he cut me off. Now if people like that can have a license than why should they not show a little compassion when its a small mistake. We aren't talking about driving outside of your lane or not looking or signaling we are talking about being slightly wider or short on a turn. When you get nervous a mistake is so easy
Right, they fail you on silly things and pass you before you have demonstrated actual skill. I'd like to see a British-style driving test. Most people fail at least once before passing. It's hard. It should be hard.
Having been rear ended twice and t-boned once I agree that the test should be hard.Tom_Reingold said:

Yes the test should be hard but I have seen people who have their license and don't drive as well as many who can't pass the test
I also believe that everyone should be retested after a certain number of years, but I fully acknowledge that due to cost issues this will never, ever happen.
If retesting after, say, ten or fifteen years is unrealistic, then retesting drivers yearly is even more so. Asking people to take a day off of work and schedule time for a written and road test once a decade would be hard enough. Yearly, and the backlash would be through the roof. Not to mention the amount of testing centers and test givers that would need to be added. In addition to backlash the costs would be insane. And the wait times would make the old inspection station lines look like a cake walk.
I am for retesting, but for any chance in hell of it actually happening it would have to be something reasonable.

That test is WAY too heavy on blood alcohol percentages and penalty amounts and way too light on practical driving knowledge and rules of the road.
I barely passed it when I moved here and was really annoyed at the questions. 20-some years later when my own kids were taking it, not much had changed.
What difference does it make if I know what the fine is for driving with such and such blood alcohol percentage. Who the heck knows what their blood alcohol percentage is anyway unless they have NOT had ANYTHING to drink? All you really need to know about that is not to drink and drive. But it would be helpful to test people on things like pedestrians in crosswalks, right of way rules and other such USEFUL driving rules and regulations.
Thats why I failed the first time I focused on the rules of the road my mistake if I knew that I would have passed

I took the driving test a couple of years ago (I'm originally from NYC and never needed to drive before I moved here) and I definitely recommend taking the driving test at the Randolph DMV.
I'm not sure where Randolph is. Isn't that north jersey not around here

Looks like Morris county I think that's too far as 1 hr drive is an extra $39 lol
If I could get there with a car I would try it though

For now I'll stick with newark im more worried about the parking lot parallel and k turn and turns on narrow streets than anything
Also I have found people to be really rude when your in the driving school car. You get cut off more they purposely scare you by going around you and weaving. I'm not sure if it is they really can't drive or they are trying to scare you

Sorry I took so long to respond I passed my second time around. I took it in Clifton been driving since early January no tickets no accidents. Although I almost got hit by a drunk driver. Luckily no one was close behind me I was able to back up and stop. Cops arrested him said he committed 2 felonies total of 6 charges he racked up in 1 day. I won't even drive after taking alergy meds. I still don't know why someone would drive drunk. If your going out drinking either have a designated driver or leave the cars home. Better to have a headache than in jail, hurt, dead or killing someone else.
Well done again, yoly1, for both the passed test and the alert driving.
