New York State Road Test: Strang NY 10466

I previously took my exam at the Strang Bronx location, and I firmly believe the instructor was unfair in her evaluation. I arrived with my driving school, and we had three ladies scheduled, one for 9:45 AM and two of us for 10 AM. The instructor started with the other student, but she was expected to take a break then. However, she informed my instructor that she would conduct my test quickly before her break, which made the entire process feel rushed. I have studied numerous videos and read reports about others' experiences at the Strang location, and I should have been instructed to turn left at the light. Instead, she told me to continue straight for three blocks, then turn right and parallel park behind a van in a driveway. This unexpected instruction threw off my parking technique, as I wasn't able to properly align my mirrors, a method my previous instructors highlighted. While I was attempting to park, my wheel lightly touched the curb due to the driveway's slope, which I acknowledge wasn't ideal. After that, I successfully executed a three-point turn. When my test results were posted, I discovered I had failed due to the parking incident and the curb-touching. Neither of these reasons should have led to an automatic failure, especially since the examiner instructed me to park on an active driveway. The overall test felt hurried, and I firmly believe she should have taken her break as scheduled, rather than rushing through my test. This rushed approach unfairly impacted my performance.

Recently failed the road test and my examiner was 973. I found it unfair that I failed it because of the parallel parking, knowing that it will be a struggle because of the snow and ice, which you are bound to touch the snow and ice. Most of the points was parking. Now I will admit that my right turn was a bit wide, but the fact that I failed because of parking just isn’t right. I would avoid this during the winter since I wasn’t expecting to parallel park in this weather. Overall, will try again in the summer.

The examiner 482 failed me but she clearly wasn’t paying attention as what I lost points for I shouldn’t have. I only agree with one thing I lost points for. The other ones were genuinely wrong. I’m very disappoint and she was also not very welcoming at all, very dry not making it a comfortable environment.
