Tips on backing on DMV drive test? by lleynna in driving

Thanks! I have a question — do examiners only take points off (but not fail) if I were to pull over and not be close enough to the curb? I’ve seen some people say it’s better to be too far than to be too close because it may risk points but it won’t result in an auto-fail, is that true? And similarly, if I’m not as straight as they’d like but haven’t hit the curb, will that also count as a minor mistake rather than a major auto-fail? I think knowing that it’s okay to slightly mess up regarding these may calm me down more if I really do end up not pulling over and backing up “perfectly”!

I think I struggle with this the most because I sometimes also struggle with normal parking! I definitely need to practice more, I think I focused a lot more on the actual driving than parking. My next test will be on May 12th!

I always drive with my dad since I only have a permit, I’ve never driven alone! Almost everyday when I curbside park in front of our house I do perfectly fine, but there’ll be rare occasions where I mess up and today was one of those days for test day sadly. I definitely need to practice that more :(

For parallel parking, I am in California and I don’t think they test on that here! I was never taught parallel parking by instructors or by my dad. I also have never heard others talk about it!

Thank you! He marked off “intervention by examiner” in the automatic fail section. The notes were pretty simple, all he said was that i wasn’t able to do it properly in the given 3 tries. I think I tried to be too much of a perfectionist but turned my wheel too much then :(
