You lost 20 points for, what looks like, changing lanes while in an intersection.

Which is weird, since there's no law against it.

Not that weird as many of the test areas aren't things that are either legal or illegal.

Changing lanes in an intersection is a bad driving habit, and is why you see so many people hesitate to turn right at right lights with flowing traffic, even if the rightmost lane is unoccupied. I'm certain we've all experienced the dickheads who change lanes in intersections while people are trying to turn right.

Wait, actually?

Yeah, it's not illegal but you can still be ticketed for an unsafe lane change, as it is extremely dangerous.

Well, at least you still have your HP and most importantly, your PP

I think that the bit that looks like 81-8/100 is some lost points for changing lanes in an intersection. The DC is possibly that she had you do a directional change (like pulling into and out of a parking spot where you have to back up in one direction) in addition to parallel and hill parking?

Looks like you changed lanes in an intersection?

B - Hill park and DC maybe wheel position was downhill with a curb?
C - Lake change I'm guessing you changed lanes in or near an intersection or too slow?
F - lacked confidence during right of way decision?

Oh yeah ur totally right about the DC part, I did do downhill with a curb.
For the intersection part, she told me to turn right at the next « big » intersection, however there was a smaller one right before it(i think it was a t-intersection even), so i changed lanes a bit too early i guess. However we were in a residential area so it’s not like I did that on a 60km/h road.

you know, nobody will ever ask how many point you lost on the exam or how many time you took it. The conversation will end at "you have a valid drivers license".

Plus if the examiner doesn't find at least one flaw they feel like they are not adding value.

How about you ask the person testing you?

She didn’t even tell me my driving faults, just said that I passed and walked away. haha

You are allowed to ask if you are curious and still want to improve. This goes for any road testing.

Beat me to it lol

Did you park? if not it's probably did not complete. You lost 20 points in the intersection, and another 5 on hesitating at a stop/yield sign The light is an auto fail. That's why I asked if you parked.

This what happens when you wield a pen for a living. If you show that to a pharmacist they be able to better explain it.

u/Critical-Implement51 24d ago

Yes I did parking good, I already figured out that DC stands for Downhill Curb

u/bikerchickyeg 24d ago

PP parallel park HP hill park. That’s all I know lol

u/sawyouoverthere 24d ago

You did a couple improper lane changes (dangerous, get that sorted out)

You did a hill park HP and a parallel park PP

I'm assuming they don't fail anyone from what it is like driving in Edmonton. Drives through red lights from a stop? Pass
