Great “no nonsense” driving test. Score is based on actual numbered criteria and then totaled up at the end. Consequently, pass or fail is not based on an examiners opinion but on actual requirements.... See more

Good experience!

I was a little nervous because I had not taken a driving test since I was 16, about 5 decades ago! (I was not keeping track of my license expiration date and the lapse required retesting.). My instructor patiently answered my questions and had an easy going demeanor that helped put me at ease. He also answered all of my questions which helped me feel more comfortable too.

Even though I passed the drive test and got the email stating that I passed, the instructor fat thumbed the state website and said I failed. Now I'm stuck and I can't get my instructional permit to convert to a license. This is going to cost me a days pay AT LEAST because I can't drive to my project until this is sorted out. There is literally no way this could have gone worse.
