I feel bad for people that have mean and rude examiners. Whether you want to believe it or not they really can influence your performance. My examiner seemed scary at first but he turned out to be really cool once things got going. Good luck to anyone taking their test soon and try your best to not let the examiner get too you one way or another.

Poor dudes anxiety must’ve spiked even more after the test. Some people just shouldn’t be driving instructors. Yelling, being rude and condescending can cause newer drivers to make more errors. My mom did the same to me when she taught me to drive.

Exactly, my dad's like that, and then he's all. Why are you so nervous?, like sir, it's because you're yelling at me. lol 😅

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Recently my dad just screamed and yelled at me in PUBLIC at a gas station. He wanted me to keep driving after he forced me to pull into the gas station bc of a little acceleration (naturally) at a curve even though I drive safe like 98% of the time. Just got my license YESTERDAY. But after he degraded me in public I felt like never driving with him again. I’d rather illegally drive alone… was crying silently in the car while a few people passed me by as I sat in the drivers seat and waited for him to drive instead. For a whole 30 mins

this examiner is exactly like my parents. NOT ok man. Should be fired. Their new to driving be patient! DMV should fire her not acceptable behavior. Extremely rude. I think she failed big time as an examiner. Even if they did make a mistake it's not her problem.

[@red2]

The examiner was slightly unprofessional but she was correct. He should have slowed down, he was too close and he should have checked his mirrors and move to the left.

[@HANSMKAMP]

I don't agree that she would be correct. But the student did make the mistake. She could just say: "You drove too close to the pedestrians [What error did the student make?]. You should keep more distance [What behaviour do you expect from the student instead?]. Therefore you failed the test [The consequences of the error]." That's it. Nothing more to say. But she keeps on showing disrespect to the student. There is no need to do so.

@@HANSMKAMPthat would be considered a dangerous maneuver and an automatic fault (driving within 6 feet of a pedestrian)

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

I would've called it a minor fault bc it was a tough situation. The thing is you can't swerve into the oncoming lane. If that car comes in, it causes an at fault wreck. That scenario would be a fail. I'd continue the test as normal and talk about it at the end.

Actually, people may take different approaches to resolve this issue but I may go with yours which is slowing down even come to a complete stop if necessary just to let them know your intention. If not I may change to next lane while no other car coming towards me. If there is a car coming I might wait to let it pass and then I can proceed.

[@nuniqoffical]

It could have caused an accident if the student did get into the oncoming lane if theres some one turning right. It doesn't help that this was right at the left turn before she made him turn right. A little honk would have done better than using the oncoming lane RIGHT at a turn.

[@camoman7342]

Many years ago, I had a driving instructor who was rude, condescending and contradictory. She also used students as her personal chauffeurs. And would frequently use them to run errands. Such as, groceries, the pharmacy, coffee (she LOVED Tim Hortons), lunch, drycleaning, the post office and miscellaneous shopping. She also got into an argument with a number of students, because she wanted them to pay for putting gas in HER car. But all she ever did to me was, being condescending, rude and contradictory.

[@GargiC77]

I took a driving test today and I failed. I actually have a licence in another country, where we had to drive stick. I moved to the US recently and driving here is a breeze in comparison. I studied the rules pretty thoroughly too. But my examiner was condescending and rude. She made me nervous from the get go. She didn't answer when I had queries about certain terms she used, she knew I was confused but she simply repeated the exact same words - just more rudely. After my exam was done, she proceeded to give me a lecture starting with "You know you've failed, right?..." This examiner is over-reacting disproportionately, but trust me, mine was rude and condescending times 20.😓😓😤😤

@alexandrastavrianidi5543 ☹☹ wishing you a nicer instructor on your next attempt.😅😅

[@HANSMKAMP]

I live in the Netherlands and I love to drive in other countries. I drove once left hand side in the UK. When I go to a different country, I look at the maximum speeds in a vilage/town/city, outside and on highways/freeways (I often use the name of road types in the language of that country, for example Autobahn (German), autosnelweg (Dutch), motorway (UK), autoroute (French), автомагистраль (Russian), etc.). I look at the difference between signs in the Netherlands and the country I want to go to. There may be differences. They are important, or I can easily get into trouble or get a fine. Some countries wants you to register your car against money. Then you are allowed to drive on their highways for a certain period. Other countries have tollgates. You only pay for the amount of kilometers that you actually drive on their roads.

[@RichPilipinas]

Pomona DMV

[@Berry-Xd]

I think saying it over and over again is too much. It does remind me of an assessor I had but we were going back to the centre (I knew I hadn’t passed) and I drove in a car park, on a side of the road that was apparently not safe and the other side of the road had parallel parking bays for learners. He told me to stop like 3 times before I stopped and had ask me “what do u think will happen if u drove here and a car was on the right side turning in…”and I just said “it’ll crash” and he said “yes, now drive in the parking bays.” The difference was he didn’t full on lecture me, only said it once and I remembered it after bc it was a big moment. He also did that when I went over a give way sign before stopping, which was blocking any traffic that may be driving on the road in front and he kept repeating that this was an illegal stop. So yeah, I made sure to remember their feedback bc it is important to pass. I actually ended up passing today on my 5th try:)

[@nobody__cares]

bro he was nowhere close to the people

[@blancarodriguez-og4rq]

The way she could have gone about it is by telling him his errors, for example: when you drove by the Pedestrians I noticed you drove very close to them. Did you notice? If so, I like you know that I have failed you for safety concerns. I also noticed that in the beginning of the test you turned a bit into the other lane. Next time you retake the driver test keep that in mind. Have a good rest of your day. There was no need for her to lecture him in that tone because she is not his mother. She’s there to observer his driving skill to see if he should obtain a DL. She was not there to parent anybody. Very unprofessional.

[@HANSMKAMP]

In the Netherlands I failed the test a few times. The examiner told me exactly where I failed. But sometimes I noticed it myself afterwards. I told the examinor: "Yes, I remember that I made that mistake." On the test that I passed, the examiner didn't say anything about driving itself, gave me a hand and congratulated me with having passed the test. The driving instructor was behind me and the examinor on the backseat, and told me that I made two small errors. They were not critical.

[@Cherokee92]

If I had an instructor tell me not to speak or ask questions, and said they wouldn't repeat themselves, I would have stopped right then and come back another day. Or requested a different person.

The light was red and I stopped before inching forward a bit and the light immediately went green. I saw that as soon as the light went green and i took my right turn. She said that if the light would not have turned green I would have failed. I still do not understand it to this day. I tried explaining that I thought it was okay for people to make a right turn on a red light since it is allowed and she dead ass said "people drive while being on their phones, you think that's okay?". She literally compared something legal to something that is not legal. ooo I was also running on 0 hours of sleep when I took my test! GOATED!

[@smokedsalmon9991]

This is what's so wrong with our test. You are at the mercy of someone's opinions of the road. Around where I am in NY, we had a test that had lights, when I first took it I had a van beeping at me, I didn't want to turn right on red since some examiners fail you for that or some feel it was a risky move for a beginner to do. The examiner starting laughing as the a-hole was beeping and she basically made me feel stupid and yell at me the moment the light turned green and at the end critique and insulted me all over that and failed me for things that didn't make sense like she lied and put I mess up my three point even though I did it spotless same with my parallel basically she gave all the points to fail me b/c not turning at red isn't a illegal but maybe to them LOL. If we had a public DMV youtube channel for each state like this where test are uploaded or allowed to be acesse I feel we would have a lot less nasty examiners... but at the same time we do need strict ones seeing how bad the drivers are around here in NY. At the end of the day just my opinion... Sorry you had that, some examiners are nice but I do wish we held more accountable since I feel like every complaint is about them, but also sometimes they do the right thing and some people pass who really shouldn't IMO.

Since this is a driving ‘exam’, I feel the examiner was unprofessional.

I can see where he could have felt confused in that situation, especially since he’s under enough pressure as it is. If he sped past those pedestrians I could see where the examiner could have gotten excited but he stayed cautious and took it slow even though he didn’t necessarily do the right response to that situation. A parent or driving instructor should be the one issuing stern criticisms and not the person whose job is to just check boxes on a clipboard. You wouldn’t belittle a high school student for failing an exam. So the examiner should have stayed in her lane instead of giving him crap for staying in his lol

[@xodoherty853]

Yes, he was very close to those people, but to be fair he was able to get around them perfectly fine. He was nowhere near about to run into them, if he was the people would’ve been scared. 😂

[@s0la.scr1ptura]

I don’t understand why people have to stand so far into the road. They’re playing with fire.

[@pimpc4619]

This video is frustrating to watch, the examiner could’ve handled that better. I replayed the video a couple times. He did in fact move away from the pedestrians, if that were me I would’ve yield until they either got into the car or moved onto the sidewalk. It wouldn’t of been safe for him to move since you’re unaware if there’s going to a car coming in. Rather avoid a accident at all cost.

[@volknerbat7049]

moving AWAY is definitely wrong as it's an undivided road with possible oncoming cars causing a head-on collison; either honk or stop or what the student did are all ok

[@outroseok]

with my luck this is the type of examiner I'll get lol

[@archiec4696]

😂😂

[@Randze]

frr I'm done with this

[@Hsjs-y9c]

I got her and passed with her

[@Lecharrichardson]

I failed twice. My first one she is okay but im not really ready. My second she was sooooo rude that i got nervous. The third one he is super nice and he made me calm down so i passed.

[@templar19]

She should have given him a warning and kept the test going.

[@HANSMKAMP]

Yes. In the Netherlands the test is always about 25 min. (at least I passed the test in 19890). If the student makes a mistake, the test continues, is not shortened. All tests are 25 min., regardless whether the student passed it or failed it.

[@trashbank6148]

In the US any intervention by the examiner is a critical fault

[@TWolfyG]

The dude didn’t even seem bothered by the car, he wasn’t in any way at danger… 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@B-lazer3]

He didn’t deserve to fail at all

[@dain_rhee]

Watching these videos after I just passed my test is a different kind of feeling

[@revolution545]

I hope I’ll pass 😭

[@dain_rhee]

@@revolution545 you can do it! I know it’s easier said than be done, but don’t be nervous! Remember! Your just showing your instructor you can drive safely!

[@revolution545]

@@dain_rhee Thank you very much! I'm not worried about the minor errors, but the critical ones like this one. They seem so much harder to predict that they're coming. I just pray and hope I'll do my best lol.

[@RoadTestSuccess]

Congrats - thanks for watching!

[@GherkinGarboi]

Pomona DMV is the worst.

[@suiomk]

I took mine there

[@listaislam7365]

This was clearly a bad examiner

[@gabbylopez9091]

This teacher is pissing me off! I had a teacher like that. If I were his mom, I would have words. He shouldn't fail because of Karen mccranky pants

[@Bond007er]

First i would slow and stop and have them move why the hell they were chatting in the middle of the lane of traffic is beyond me

[@forthetruth8181]

Oh no....This is the DMV where im taking mines in a few weeks 😭.

[@RoadTestSuccess]

Good luck!!

[@Yasmine91646]

Noooooooo 😱

[@Hsjs-y9c]

I passed it there with her im cracked like that

[@forthetruth8181]

I passed y’all! The videos really helped in what to expect. Give J his flowers 💐.

[@anouskaanouska4571]

I think it was better if he slowed down, completely stopped, and waited until the pedestrian move out of the way, then he moved and passed a little bit taking a little space from the other lane. The examiner is not even competent. Besides, she is so rude!

[@denisvirus223]

i hope i don't get an instructor like this when i take my road test

[@mariaesquivel9887]

No cause i just failed my exam because of a rude examiner. The mistake was definitely mine but keep in mind you go in already nervous and then the examiner is rude it just makes you mess up even more. It sucks but now that I know how they can be I’m going to try to pass my next exam .

[@thatrallycarguy]

I've passed my test today!!! I did watch a few of your videos!!!! Thank you!! I am in Indiana & the examiner said I did great!! even had an ambulance come up on me & immediately hazards on & on the shoulder..thanks all!!!!🤙🤙🙏🙏💯💯

[@RoadTestSuccess]

Glad to help - Congrats!!

[@Tanu__kaur]

What bmv did you go too?

[@thatrallycarguy]

@@Tanu__kaur the Lafayette branch..some of the reviews were awful!!but my road test lady Rita was awesome!!!! I'll give you a hint..if you have practice & you're a good driver,ask if it's ok to talk to your self..lol before we left I said is it OK if I talk to myself?Shes like yup..then very softly she goes (most people that do that pass everytime)..👀 confidence & practice!!!!!l

@@thatrallycarguy thank you!

[@stephensoto2126]

she got family problem's for sure. I hope she got fired

[@tiaaaaaaa]

I’m so glad I had a chill laid back instructor…didn’t speak not once…he was comfortable asffff

[@brenda9075]

lucky asf. mine was rude and kept telling me everything i did wrong out loud it ,was so distracting and made me nervous

[@ryans413]

I had a few bad ones took me 6 times because of that they made me feel more nervous and that made me do stupid things. The last lady I had that I passed with was chill so chill it relaxed me. She talked to me about the weather about my day how my driving tests went. When I said it was my 6th try she said that’s okay don’t worry I got you. Just a completely different experience.

[@jerrykwerve8660]

Sucks to get a Karen as an examiner

[@queenchiat.v8047]

i had one yesterday! she was po for no reason

[@alexandrosmartinez508]

The examiners at San Pedro, California are witches. One of my friends failed her tests three times before going to Long Beach (where she passed).

[@sydnergi]

We need a serious change in the DPS system. The workers are underpaid ragecans, always forgetting documents before appointments and unnecessary bs that shouldn't be coming from GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS.

[@Kaeeeeee282]

The examiner part was honestly the most stressful part for me since most of them do tend to be rude, they apply more stricter rules to you and fail you in the end for the most minor shit. Fortunately enough, this wasnt the case for me and i had a really sweet lady who was the complete opposite of this instructors demeanor. She was very sweet and encouraging throughout the entire test, gave reminders when needed and allowed questions. Im not sure what the issue is with the attitude but it wasnt needed here, i feel bad

[@theopinionatedcharles2795]

I've seen quite a lot of american driving test videos as a Brit, just to compare and contrast how different the tests are and I've got to ask. Are a lot of American driving examiners just straight up arseholes to the learner drivers? 'Cus I've never had an examiner like the one in this test to where they scold me for a major driving fault to the point where I was put off learning to drive 😂

[@priyamanobal]

Not all examiners are like this but if you're testing in a bigger city in America you're definitely more likely to get an examiner that's on a power trip, like the one in this video. This instructor clearly doesn't have much else going for her in her life so she uses this job to make herself feel important.
