My wife went to the license center to take the test for her provisional license.
Last time, she scored 80 points on the written test, so she could not proceed to the second stage of the skills test.
This time, she passed the first stage of the written test with flying colors and was able to take the second stage of the skills test.
The second stage of the skills test is graded by actually getting in the car and driving the designated course.
About an hour before the test, I was told verbally that the designated course would be Course A. When I went to the waiting room for the test, several diagrams of the course were laid out.
When I went to the waiting room for the test, there were several diagrams of the course laid out on the floor, and there were several different A courses.
I made the terrible mistake of looking at one of the diagrams and explaining to my wife that I was actually walking the course, except for the same temporary license.
The examiner came and explained the original A course. That course included railroad crossings and hills.
As a result, I did not pass the second phase of the test.
Part of the blame lies with me. This is because the location of the railroad crossing was difficult to locate and included the fact that my wife did not recognize the crossing and passed through it without pausing or checking for safety.
The main points of the technical test for a provisional license are to make sure to check safety and to drive in a well-structured manner (drive at the default speed when speeding, and slow down to 10 km/h or less on curves and other areas where you need to slow down). Be sure to give the right signals.
I will make sure to practice so that my wife can drive with this in mind before the next skill test.
Well, this time was also meant to experience what the skill test is like, so I think it was worthwhile, even though I was disappointed that I could not pass it.
The next exam was booked up and is now on December 1.
Next time I will make sure I am on the right exam course so I can prepare well.
