I think Im the one person on the roads in MA that chooses NOT to go 30 miles above the speed limit, not drinking alcohol, and talking on the cell phone all at once. I actually do none of the above, and the guy fails me because I didnt look over my shoulder. Wheres the damn justice?

My family used to have a dog. He was allowed to pass his obedience training on the condition that the instructors never saw him again, so that might work.

@Ty, I read it, you do know you can't see everything in your mirrors right?

Yeah, but with my stiff neck that I have today, I could see even less by looking back.

Hello Ysh

I am sorry to hear your bad news Ty but in defence of the "lifesaver" as it is called over here, that one look over your shoulder determines there is nothing in your blind spot. It is called a lifesaver by bikers, for a very good reason

Well it would be the bikers fault for being behind someone who doesnt look back.

Hi BS I am glad to see you are in support of the "lifesaver" then
LOL! - erm see you later I guess?

But the biker would trust that such people would not have achieved a driving licence if they have no regard for the safety of others

Well as Viconia says:
"Trust is for the foolish and the dead"

@ty, youd be surprised how many accidents I have avoided because I looked back when I saw nothing in my mirror

@Ysh.....damn, look at this, two posts in a row, is the curse broken?

My point is: Should I be failed just because of that?

Maybe my idea about keep on coming back and getting passed because of persistance, isnt such a good idea after all....

Yes I have heard of failing for a lot less

Once when I was out on my bike, I was indicating to turn right. As is ingrained into motorcyclists here, I checked over my right shoulder before turning to see a Jaguar had decided to overtake me whilst I was obviously turning My lifesaver on this occasion saved my own. - I had not seen him in my mirror.

LMAO! Nah, maybe I am in too good a mood?

Of course you should have Very basic, when you are pulling away, or when you are changing direction, mirror/signal/lifesaver/manouvre...

@Weasel - LMAO!

Fine then.
I suck at driving. I admit it. Its all good. Im a naturalist-that means cars=bad.

Look at it this way, you can always get a job as a taxi driver

Nah, maybe I am in too good a mood?

So, are you saying when you are in a bad mod is when my connection gets killed? That is not very productive, how can I cheer you up if I ain't here?

Sorry, Ty, but I have to agree with Ysh and BS on this one. I can't tell you how many times I've been surprised by someone in my blind spot...

Thats looking at it in a better way? Im going to college for a reason.........and it isnt purely for girls or parties, though those are nice side things.

@Gwally Its all good. I will come to terms with my failure sooner or later.

If they won't pass you in Massachusetts, move to Florida; they'll give anyone a driver's license.
