Taking the test in Maspeth on Tuesday November 23rd.

[Locomotion69]

Thanks again fellas,I'm just wondering loco,how did you manage to roll over the wheel chock,they tell you to take it out before you drive off,at least that's the protocol now.

 

It was most certainly a bad day, but that is in the past, the 2nd time I took the road test in Red Hook I got a perfect score, so what comes around goes around as they say.

 

In Maspeth they do the pre trip in a different order. So after the spring brake test the examiner told me when I was ready, to pull out, well instead of building back up the air pressure and securing the bus, then go outside and pick up the wheel chock, I turned off the spring brake and the bus rolled because that street is on a slight decline, ran over the chock.

 

2 negatives right there, pulling out with low air pressure and running over the wheel chock. The examiner from hell picked up the wheel chock and he was scolding me, "look at this, you flattened it like a pancake!" :eek:

I'm happy you got it loco,you guys are an inspiration.I thank God for people like you guys.I put my trust in God if I get it or not it's ultimately in the creators hands.This is 1 cool forum for sure.The feedback is heart warming,I must admit when I first google maspeth test route this forum popped up.Loco I read how you failed the first time and the visual your words put in my head,tickled me to the stomach.I really appreciate you guys input and encouragement.Like I said before I got 1 more road test on this voucher,if I fail I'll probably pay for 2 lessons out of my own pocket and take the test on Staten Island.What ever happens God is still good and love him with all my being.

Had a blessed turkey day,I hope all had a happy thanksgiving.

You are very welcome. I have to give a big thanks to Harry for owning and running this website. And also to all of the B/O's who have answered my questions on here no matter how stupid they were, lol.

 

So all that I am doing is giving back. Like Noflexdont said on here awhile ago..."If he/she can do it then so can I."

 

To fail at something is normal, all humans were born to fail,nobody is perfect, nobody. You only fail when you stop trying, NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT!:tup:

[Steling]

Amen@Tim 66 and thanks for the support again fellas very well said comments.I also would like to thank the site owners for establishing such a great informative community and welcoming all transit enthusiasts with open arms.That's what it's all about giving back,after you succeed or been in that same position and benefiting other with good helpful information to also succeed.Btw what's the cut off age limit for MTA B/O.

[Joel Up Front]

There is none. Hell, look at David Abramski:

Praise God what a great story.

[mass production]

Thank you Igor,I got 1 more free road test,with this school.I got a voucher from work force 1.Whats the rates for that school for like 2 lessons and road test and what's the name of the school.

 

I took my road test in The Bronx...you should try to take it there.

[Steling]

Thanks for the suggestion M.P but the only place this school goes is in maspeth,because it's closer to the school.If I fail again I'll have to pay out my pocket and prefer to take it in Staten Island because I'm a resident and a lot more familiar with these streets.I googled map where I failed at and got familiar with the area.

What's the route like after Glen st,is there any highway or do you just take it straight down south avenue.

[Igor Gaysinsky]

What's the route like after Glen st,is there any highway or do you just take it straight down south avenue.

 

this is how i took it sept 2009

you do go on the highway i forgot were u start out on glan street left on south ave after u cross forest ave on south ave they make u turn right on continental place or on another street i forgot which one on continental place they made me back up the bus stright and parking it to from there they made turn on grandview ave right then right on neither land ave right on south ave then i took south ave up to richmond terrace then made a left on richmond terrace took that up to western ave made a left on western ave. on western ave there will be a rail road crossing so u know what to do for the rail road crossing u cross the rail road crossing on western ave take it down to gulf ave bare left to gulf ave from there u get on the highway take the high to forgot what exit it leads to chelsea road left on chelsea road when u get off the highway left to south ave left on service road east get back on the highway get off at glen street exit off the highway make a left on glen street off the highway ur on glen street pass the hotel back to the start line of the road test then it`s over. over there they tell u pass or fail that`s how i went by the road test instructer like i say i don`t were they will make u go every road test instructer is different.

mvp access a ride i started feb 2010 with access a ride and i hate it there 9 months i`m working for them smitty was my instructer to when i started traing class if u really want to know about access a ride i`ll send u a private message to u about access a ride. look at me i did fail 3 times the road test going for class d lincese and on the 4 th time i passed it so i know how it feels to fail a road test this was my sonerio. so don`t get up set if u fail just get up and try again until u pass it

[Steling]

We told you it wasn't going to be easy in Maspeth, I bet those minutes waiting for the DMV Examiner to fill out the road test form felt like forever, congrats man.

 

I don't remember how much it cost to get the license amended, but I am sure they raised the fees since 2 years ago. Now keep it clean, be safe out there.

[Dan05979]

$200?? no way. I think in a week or so you go back to the dmv and pay either 5 to 10 bucks. and they give you your paper license and wait about 2 weeks in the mail for your photo, and thats it your good to go. congrats. btw did you take the test in a white school bus from sharkeys driving school? I seen somone on the l.i.e taking there test on tues.
