UPDATE: I took my test today & passed. I had a better lady today. At that part in the video that was considered my failure of the test I just stopped at the 2nd stop sign and waited for her to tell me to proceed. ua-cam.com/users/shortsTmZVRVUFHrk?feature=share Tip: come picture ready lol I look like a bum in mine GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
I watched this video carefully and analyzed the course. I took my test today at this mva and passed easily. To whoever is reading this make sure you practice preferably do reverse parking when you go out a lot it’ll help. 2nd get to the mva an hour early trust me you’ll be waiting a lot so be prepared. 3rd don’t sweat it if you don’t pass try again it took me a lot to get the license and lastly have a clear mind when driving… forget about everything and you’ll pass
I'm a former Driving Instructor: Excellent video. Very informative. I see where you were confused, she used language that is familiar to the profession, "follow the course" : To you that meant "the testing course." Whereas for her, she meant, "exit the course." You did not know that your skilled portion was completed. Therefore, you are expecting to another skill. She knew your were completed and heading back. It's a language thing, not a rigged test. IMPORTANT: always ask for CLARIFICATION when not sure. The examiner is required to CLEARLY give instruction. In this case, I would have recommended that you ask to speak with a supervisor and challenge her decision of failing you. DO NOT do anything that was not asked by the examiner. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot!! I took my test on saturday and i PASSED! WARNING: This confusing part that he show on the video is part of your test. You will not pass until you park correctly in the side they tell you. And remember: If you don't understand a instruction pleeeeease dont be afraid to ask until you understand :D.
Thanks for the video and thoughtful comments you made, it helped us better understand the course and the challenges you faced. I appreciate your method of addressing the issues, it was honest and to the point without being overly dramatized. Please keep them coming!
She 1st said make a right @ stop sign then left...then the next breath said the opposite. VERY CONFUSING!! Should be make a left at the intersection - make a right into the parking lot!!
You weren’t wrong at all sweetie, her directions were confusing for me and I’ve been driving for over 26 yrs lol ! She could benefit from cultural competency training (in other words she needs to be trained the language or verbiage of her audience.) And (Maryland) needs to do better and create a real life driving course !!!! 😠 that’s a shame they don’t have any other markings that simulate a real driving scenario. I honestly believe they should make a virtual driving course with sensors that shake and jolt when you hit something lol maybe I’m reaching but hey, it’s 2022 this should’ve been a thing by now 😏 But congratulations to you on passing your test 👏🏾👏🏾please be a safe and responsible driver 🙏🏾
I think they need to somehow partner with drivers education because I actually drove with them for hours and on the highway and stuff so they can be the true judge if I can drive or not. Not this mva parking course lol
@@OmexavLifeztyle The driving school does score you on your driving with them, and this document is submitted to the MVA. You should have had to sign it.
I took my drivers test in the summer last year, failed it twice, I almost aced it the first time I took but then I didn’t stop at the stop sign, took it my second time, had the same driver instructor and failed it. Came back the next week for the 3rd time, had a new driver instructor and aced it. So I was so happy that after I completed my 14 hours of driving, I knew I was gonna get my license
If you carefully listen to her, at the part you "failed" she said make a right, then a left, then a left... Clearly her instructions were wrong.... At no part did she say to make another right and go where the parking lot is with the mva parking signs. I would of clearly disputed her "failure" claims and requested another instructor that day. She failed to provide proper and correct instructions. You did exactly as she told you.
I'm British and dreading this test. LOL! And ive been driving for 20 years. I'm worried about misunderstanding directions also, and them losing their sh*t with me. lol!
Is it compulsory that you have all the 60hrs filled and that your coach follows you? What if they are not able and it’s your friend with a license that you have to accompany you?
Idk 100% what the rules are but I believe yes it’s mandatory to have 60 hours because I remember the lady asked me & You have to get that signed by the person u drove with. And in terms of who your driving with I believe they have to be above 21 or 25 with their license (but I’d check in the book and see what it says)
If you're under 25 and don't already have a license, you have to do 60 hours, otherwise it's 14. The accompanying driver must be at least 21 and must have had their license for 3 years. If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian as they need to sign the documents for you.
Is there a "road test" portion after you complete the pull in, back in, and 3 point turn?. Apparently they take you out on the road to drive for about 10-15 minutes.
I knew for the car where my back tire had to be for me to make it in the space and the first back up I was to close so I had to readjust to get in the space
I think it is both poor instructions and your own nervousness. On her side, I think the instructions toward the end are vague as you noted 'follow the course around' and your nerves lead you to misread them' (and with vague instructions there is a lot of room to misread). As I heard the follow the course *around* led me to think I would need to make the right *around* the curved part and not go left. I do think that this video is invaluable to those who have to take the test and are nervous... and glad to hear the second test went well. I think the other parts of your video that are invaluable for people to know are: (a) if you are off in the 3-point reverse into cones, you can *move forward to the original start and reattempt it,* and (b) the lady's vagueness and your unfortunate situation tells people *you can ask for clarification* if things are unclear or you are lost* (which is not something you might think is possible). Good Video!
Thanks for the video, i have a question must i attend the driving school? Because my husband is teaching me how to drive at home and thou i haven't mastered my parking and all the road signs properly i was looking at taking the test this summer or later this year but must i attend a driving school or can my husband just sign in my log book since he is my tutor thank you
I’m not 100% sure if you HAVE to take the driving school but for me my driving educator was the one who submitted my name to the mva to be eligible to take my test and my dad signed my book.
Yo Bro Question When You Take The Test For The Rookie Hand Book Do You Have To Fill In The Hours Or Does The Person Thats Been Taking You Out Driving Can Sign Sign It?
Yes they are not or never give your plain directions. I believe they fail a certain amount of people and pass a certain amount a day. Good luck on the next time.

Congrats 🎉👏🏾 I’m glad I was able to help
should’ve said make a right,her instructions were unclear
I pray I don’t get a bad instructor bc bad vibes can def put me in a bad mood

These mva instructors are all like that. It's like they get paid more the more it seems they hate their job and act miserable 😂
You should not have failed, the instructions failed to adequately guide you. You were safe while assessing what to do next. Great video!
Thank you for this! You were very pleasant and she was not a happy camper.

So far the best video I've seen on the subject.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing all these tips !!!
the same thing happened to me last month ! i take my test tomorrow 😭 i hope i pass this helped a lot !
Good luck ✨
so you should have waited for her at the stop sign for further instructions? her instructions were really unclear.
Yeah I guess, I thought I had it because she said go left and follow the course but 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you for making this video. You have the clearest most detailed and informative video. I hope we both pass :) God bless you
The instructor had me confused as well
underrated
Last year I failed the test at Largo MVA and next time I will pass it because I went into the wrong lane when I have taken the test
Thanks for the video I’m taking mine tomorrow 🙏🏽
Lmk how it goes 👀
@@OmexavLifeztyle okay will do
@@terrywilliamsjr9815 how did it go?
@@lorrell7293 welp I fail because I tap a cone so I made an appointment for next month
Dang, which part did u tap the cone on
Your video is so helpful, and your video skills are amazing!! Thanks.
Her instructions were not clear at all.

Thank you for your vídeo! I´ll do my driving test on May 13 2023. I´m so scared!
have my liscense test tmr wish me luck; it got cancelled cause of snow so now it’s tmr
I'm British and dreading this test. LOL! And ive been driving for 20 years. I'm worried about misunderstanding directions also, and them losing their sh*t with me. lol!
thank you sm for this video
I have to take mine in a big SUV. I’m worried it’s going to be a very tight fit in that parking spot
The spot is slightly larger than your average parking spot
@@OmexavLifeztyle Thank you for the video

You didn’t wrong at all, she should told more details or explanation . Good luck 👍

There wasn’t for mine due to Covid so the rules may change
No, due to covid
She was supposed to walk with you to the last stop sign to make it easier to understand her instructions I stead of speaking all at once.
when backing up are you suppose turn your head back or look at the mirrors?
How to pass meme edition - ua-cam.com/users/shortsh_ollFJmBzo?feature=share
For the back parking how do you know when you should turn your wheel? Did you see the cone in the middle of your back your ? I have my test tomorrow
Can you describe exactly when you stop when you were backing up?
Line it up with the back little mirror on your car you can adjust while you’re trying to fit in the spot.
I knew for the car where my back tire had to be for me to make it in the space and the first back up I was to close so I had to readjust to get in the space
I’m taking mine tomorrow and my driving teacher told me to line the cones with my window that’s how I know when to turn

Hello ive mine tomorrow I’m super nervous I can’t pull in park☹️
That’s the easiest one
Good Job!!!! When doing this do you have to use your signals?
YESSSSSS! Every single turn you make
Thank you so much !!! I go tomorrow I'm so scared🙌🏾😥😫
You got this 💫💯
Key is to stay calm and ask questions when your uncertain
Do they look at the driving log or do you just need the signed page?
Thanks for the video, i have a question must i attend the driving school? Because my husband is teaching me how to drive at home and thou i haven't mastered my parking and all the road signs properly i was looking at taking the test this summer or later this year but must i attend a driving school or can my husband just sign in my log book since he is my tutor thank you
I’m not 100% sure if you HAVE to take the driving school but for me my driving educator was the one who submitted my name to the mva to be eligible to take my test and my dad signed my book.
@@OmexavLifeztyle okay that means without the driving educator submitting my name to mva, i am not eligible to take the test
Driving school is required, but your supervising driver can fill out the log book.
Do I need to be on the car insurance or as long as my parent has insurance and has the card with them? My test is tomorrow and im nervous with it
You should be fine as long as the parent has all the necessary things
@Omèxav Lifeztyle Awesome thanks, I have my test in 2 hours.
@@jimslice5113 you got this 👍🏾👍🏾
Yo Bro Question When You Take The Test For The Rookie Hand Book Do You Have To Fill In The Hours Or Does The Person Thats Been Taking You Out Driving Can Sign Sign It?
You fill it out and they sign it at the end
@@OmexavLifeztyle Yo Bro I Passed The Driving Test At The Annapolis Mva While I was Doing The Test I was making sure I Didn’t Hit Any Of The Cones
Where’d y’all get the rookie handbook from??
Do you have to go on the road in this location?
I take my test tomorrow 🙏🏾 so there is no road test?
Nicee Good luck 👍🏾 & Due to Covid, no.
I take my test tomorrow! Very nervous! Do you pay for the test ?
I think you pay for the license, I don’t remember how much
The test is paid for when you get your permit.
Did you use your turn signals on the course?
Yup every single turn you make or else they will fail you
do they check the 60 hours?
Yeah they look over it
So your point is to shift blame from your mistakes onto someone else?
bruh she gave the wrong directions. if you had comprehension skills you would have noticed that instead of commenting.
Wow....
I don’t like the instructor
6:29
Yes they are not or never give your plain directions. I believe they fail a certain amount of people and pass a certain amount a day. Good luck on the next time.
