I failed my driver's test again today. That makes four times in a row. Darn it! I don't think I'll [u]ever[/u] get my license!
This time I failed because I didn't check my mirrors, even though I did. I guess this is an improvement over my last three failures, which were all due to the driving instructor grabbing my arm and yelling, "STOP! You're going to hit an imaginary vehicle!" But still, it's disappointing.
Maybe the DMV driving instructors have formed a secret "We must never let Blatherskite pass his driving test" club. I can't think of any other reason why I've failed so much, other than the possibility that I suck at driving, which is just plain silly. I'm great at driving! It says so on my driver's licen...um, never mind.

Hey Blatherskite, don't feel so bad. My friend from high school had to take the test 5 times before finally passing...in Jamaica, Queens!! My advice to you is to practice, practice, practice! Keep positive, be safe and you'll get your darn license!! (And if not, there's always the bus! Who needs to deal with high gas prices anyway?) -

Ahhhh, so you fail yer driver's test again!!! Dis is not acceptable !!! You do this again and we will consider doing terrible things to you. If your on medication like prozac we may increase the daily dosage so you won't either way about passing or failing. If you do not achieve obtaining your driver's license you will never get a chance at becoming a pizza delivery guy. Also, you will have to stock up on bus tokens and have yer mom drive you on dates. Well, I wouldn't too much about having alittle trouble concerning that darn test. Nobody usually gets it right the first time. Look at it this way it could be alot worse. I've been married three times. Now arn't ya glad ya havn't gotten around to doing that yet. Yer friend ZekeWombat. -

Sucking at driving does not matter. If it did, about 95 percent of the people out there would not have a license. Keep trying and good luck. Write on. -

I've realized like most things in America, the DMV is a business, so each day they pass a certain amount of people and fail a certain amount... -

Blatherskite: Don't feel badly about failing. I passed my test on my third try. I think the most important thing to remember when getting in the car to take the test is to relax (I know, easier said than done). If your mind is relaxed, you can let your confidence as an excellent driver come out. I imagine you have practiced for the test extensively. The reason you keep failing is not based on your skill as a driver; rather, it is because you freak out during the test and forget everything you have practiced. When I kept failing the test it was because I was screwing up the parallel parking component of the test. I can park a Ford Crown Victoria in a shoebox, but for some reason when I was sitting next to the smelly DMV guy with chest hair and gold chains, I could not get my car into the more than ample spot. When I finally passed the test, I tried a meditation exercise before the test. First of all, I had a friend drive me to the test because my parents were freaking me out. Then I recited a mantra to myself that I was alone in the car and there was a protective bubble (of sorts) around the car (preventing me from hitting those damned imaginary vehicles). Like a robot, I took the test, not once looking at the DMV tester (who was the same guy! what are the odds?!). I passed, having no trouble with parallel parking, because I told my brain that it was like any other day practicing in a parking lot. Give some mental exercises a try. If you can calm down enough, you won't make silly mistakes and you will pass the test! GOOD LUCK! IPJ
