Road test. Failed. OK, that was annoying... Driving into a brick wall.
Yesterday I took a Hawaii road test. I'd already passed the written test a couple of months ago.
I was considering going down to the testing center on the weekend and driving around the side streets to see how it was like. It probably would have been a waste of time because I failed on 3 aspects.
Speed. "You actually sped up while driving on residential roads."
Head checks. There's a bike lane, probably the only one on Oahu. It's hardly even noticeable before you indicate to turn right.
Stopping before the stop lines. "You're not stopping for other cars but you're stopping for pedestrians." I didn't want to explain that I already checked for pedestrians.
There was this extra gotcha where apparently there's this sign where you need to slow down to 10 miles before turning right.
So I'll need to wait a week before I can take another driving test.
