Driving test by HeidiR
We have recently moved to Phoenix from the UK. As we will be here for more than a year we had take the Arizona driving test which was interesting.The driving test centre is very old fashioned, you show up take a number and wait. you will do eyetests andanswer some questions then you will do a written test. If you fail you can come back and do it again the next day.
The actual driving test was much more of a drive than a test. First you had to do a parellel park in an enormous space. You actually had 3 goes at this if you get it wrong. Then you drive out the centre do one left turn then all the other turns are right all the way back to the test centre. Probably drive about 5 or 6 miles. you do not have to do any other skills like emergency stops, reversing round the corner or either make a point of looking at the mirrors.
Kids are allowed to take their test here really young. while I was waiting for my test I heard someone ask how long does the driving trst takes, they where told about 50 minutes, 20 minutes for actual driving the rest for the parallel park!!!!!!!.
