9:30 I start the test. First question is one of those number ones..skip, next 8 question no problem, skip one more, keep going you are doing great. Oh another stupid question, skip. Ok now I have done all the question I know for sure. So I am left with two 4 point question and 2 3 point question. So basically if I get both 4's wrong I fail. That is when the stress hit!
The question was "what is dangerous about this road". Well I see two cars on a cobble stone road with railroad tracks. Neither car is on the tracks in fact they are on either side coming towards me and going away from me. But one of the answers is "it is dangerous to drive on the tracks". So of course I over think it and say "no one is on the tracks, they are safely away from the tracks driving, so why would it be dangerous if no one drives on the tracks". But guess again, so I got that one wrong. The other was about the pedestrian Zebra crossing. Yes I know I have to stop in time not to scare the pedestrians, (that is a answer) and another one was have breaks locked. So I say to myself "when I am sitting at a zebra crossing, my breaks are locked, my car is not moving, so this must be right". No it is not! So now that is 8!
This was the other one
A class B driver's license allows you to drive a powered vehicle not more than 3.5 tones of permissible weight. You are allowed to carry a trailer not more than 750 kg (in addition 4250 kg for the combination). You are also allowed to carry trailers with a permissible mass not exceeding the empty mass of the vehicle in front.
Three questions all worded that way and I had to figure out the right one. Whatever! 3 points wrong!
Last one Which one is the Braking-distant rule of thumb
Speed in km/h
------------------ X 3
10
Speed in km/h X Speed in km/h
------------------ ------------------
10 10
Speed in km/h X 3 + Speed in km/h X Speed in km/h
------------------ ------------------ ------------------
10 10 10
Answer is the 2nd one in case you want to know. The first is Speed and stopping distance rule of thumb. The last is Stopping distance from the moment you realize the need to break. OH there is a cow, I am going 130 km/h do I have enough time to stop before I make hamburger all over the road. And then yes I am responsible for any soil or mess I cause to the road, so I would have to clean it up.
I know all the rules...except for the crazy tow axial permissible mass crap. Give me the damn license!! (yes I had to look up the spelling for damn and stupid)
I told Ben I am not taking it again! This is why people figure out ways to cheat on tests! Is there someway I can take a picture of the computer with my iPhone send it to someone, have them look up the answer in my book and send me back the answer? hmmm
Since my fail proof method of getting a AZ license while I was in the states for Christmas was foiled! I guess other people have tried doing that in the 45 states that do not have to take the German drivers license! You have to take the stupied test with the license that you came into the country with.
There is not enough diet coke in my house to drown out my sorrows! If you have not guessed yet, yes I failed. I knew when the instructor of the class and my driving instructor looked at their computer and both winced and sucked in air at the same time looking at their screen and then at me. Now I have to make muffins and crap for a Christmas market bake sale for my kids school tomorrow. There will be no Jolly Christmas music going on at this house. Maybe Bart Simpson will become my new hero in life. He has stayed in the same grade for over 10 years, why can't I!
