How to fail your road testby safedriver |
As
most people I come to meet through Young Drivers of Canada they want to
pass their road test and get their driver’s licence as soon as
possible. Some of the students I’ve taught over the years actually want
to drive safely. Passing the road test is just a step for them. Good
thinking in my books.
Now,
in most cases you can fail the road test by any violation of the law, a
dangerous action and of course, a collision. Other factors would
include poor observation on a regular basis and consistent errors of the
same nature. These factors for failing are fairly consistent within
most jurisdictions, but with this list, I’m trying to think outside the
box.
Regardless
of the goals you may set for yourself, I thought it may be a good idea
to come up with a top 10 list to help people with their road test. Some
top 10 lists have been done over and over again, so I had to be a little
creative. After a long 15 seconds of thought, I decided what my
top 10 list would contain. The following is the top 10 ways to fail your
road test. *Not to be tried on an actual road test. See how many of
these you may be tempted to do.
10. Lay on the horn and chase pedestrians out of the crosswalk.
9. Constantly ask the examiner out on a date.
8. Answer “Okay baby” after each instruction the examiner gives you.
7. Play the Fast and the Furious theme song while driving your road test.
6. Get dressed up for the test by wearing your birthday suit.
5. Use the parking brake to slide your vehicle sideways into your parallel park position.
4. Shift to neutral and rev the engine while looking at the driver next to you at a red light.
3. Curse aloud at the driver who just cut you off during their lane change.
2. Suddenly look over your shoulder out the rear window and yell “Crap! It’s the cops!”
1. Say to the examiner “Whatever you do, don’t open the glove box”.
This
was certainly a fun tongue-in-cheek article to write and I hope you
never end up doing any of these crazy things during a road test. I’m
certain you won’t know anyone who has tried these things during their
road test. Or have you? For anyone who has tried any of these things, you’ve created a lot of talk around the office water cooler…to say the least.
