[QUOTE="Sid-in-brown, post: 1325680, member: 53398"] Yea its pretty pathetic u know. I took the test this morning out in LIC & the examiner smiled at me & said "This is the worst pc we've got but if u can handle this, u can handle anything & UPS always start out newbies at the bottom of the totem pole. Good luck." He winked at me & I was on my way & it was damn awful I tell u. I didn't yield the stop sign quick enough so I lost points. I jumped a gear because the 1st gear & reverse were in the same area & I couldn't figure it out so I accidentally jumped into 3rd gear & the truck lurched BIG TIME & he got annoyed with that so more points. Then what really did me in was when I was at the stop light & he says "Control your vehicle." So I slapped on the e-brake but by that time the light turned green & I had to move & again the :censored:ing confusion with 1st gear/reverse gear which almost identical so I accidentally hit reverse TWICE & he yelled "Move over! You're freaking me out right now!" He took the drivers seat & I failed right there. I spoke to another guy that took the test in the same :censored:ty pc & he said he ignored the 1st gear because he admitted there was confusion between that & the reverse because its in the same area and shifting mode so u gotta know this pc REALLY GOOD not to mess that up so he just started in 2nd gear every time & moved into 3rd gear when appropriate then popped the gear into neutral at the light then back into 2nd gear again with a small lurch but he claims the examiner didn't seem to mind this & he PASSED with only 50 few points. I got 130 which is automatic failure. Should I have done what he did? Was he just lucky or have any other UPSers done the same when they had a junky pc with confusing gears? I need to know what to do for when I take the test again eventually. [/QUOTE]
