I took my first driving test in the dead of winter, the day after a massive snow storm. At one point the tester told me to take a right turn onto a side street, but the street we were on had been plowed while the street I was supposed to turn onto hadn't and the entrance to it had like a 4' high snow bank from the plow across it. I charged into it anyway and I got through the bank but I ended up skidding into the wrong lane until I could correct. The tester deducted 5 points for my turning into the wrong lane, which really pissed me off given the situation. I guess I should have said "fuck no I'm not turning into a fucking snow bank".

This tester was notorious for failing teenagers on their first test no matter what, but this event was all he could deduct for and he had to pass me. Looking back on it, I'm glad such a hard ass tester actually existed, because there's really nothing like that any more. It seems like today's testers just wet their finger and stick it under your nose to make sure you're breathing, and pass you.

I took my motorcycle test about 5 years after i had been driving a car. It was just an obstacle course since i had plenty of driving experience already. I did everything perfectly and come back pleased with my performance.

The tester says i failed because i blew the first stop sign and walked to go inside. I ignored the fist stop sign because it was about 2 feet from where i started. I was in complete disbelief. She got to the door and came back and said kidding but that I did lose points because of it and any other mistakes would have pushed me over.
