DMV Road Test Site at Maspeth — Local services in New York

My experience was horrible, first and foremost even tho you have an appointment there is a line/ wait period which is about an 1 hour I guess due to this pandemic however make sure you have sanitize wipes to wipe down your car and you have not been exposed to COVID-19 or any symptoms that is affiliated to the virus within the past 14 days however those are just tips on what to expect at the Road test, however my instructor was whom made the experience horrible when I was told to begin my test I was first told to make a left turn where I reached a red light I then signal to the left from the moment he told me to make a left turn there was a huge truck behind from the moment I pulled out to begin my test when the light turned green my signal was still on to signal to the left there was a car in front of me that stood there while I am at the intersection making the left turn truck came from behind me while I was in the middle of the street making a left turn with my car slightly turn to the left and the truck cuts me in front from my blind spot and the instructor told me to stop I was supposed to stop because it’s his right of way....... secondly don’t be nervous because every error or obstacles that is there to make you fail he will make sure that you are aware of it on my second right turn I agreed it was but there was also a car parked on the side with half the vehicle sticking on on the same side I was making the right turn making it seems as if it was a one way street, Last but not least I was given four errors for the same left turn I explained above and those points equaled to 45 points one of listed it as error but I guess he couldn’t find other reason, anyway I would not recommend this site to anyone it’s the worst place to book your road it’s always busy with large trucks and their is a ups site with delivery trucks going in and out constantly. Good luck to everyone who...

This has to be one of the worst places to take your driving test. The location is in the middle of a factory zone, there are dozens of trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists, and its overall very busy with traffic. Not only that, but the two way streets are EXTREMELY narrow, I could barely fit the car onto the street. Not only is the test site bad, but my instructor was very rude. Not even one minute in and he’s critiquing my turns, not even in a “I’m saying this nicely to help you” kind of way, because I appreciate it when instructors give you feedback instead of being completely silent, but this man had something to say about literally anything I did. It came to a point where he yelled at me and I was sitting in the car like: 🧍🏻‍♀️🚗. But anyways regardless of the instructor, the place is overall not ideal for beginner drivers; it’s intimidating. My advice if you do have a road test here is to be confident, and make sure you know what you are doing. Don’t be too upset if you fail you can always do it again, if this place intimidates you I suggest going to somewhere more quiet like cunningham park. You got this !...

When I went to take my test I used a car borrowed from my driving school that wasn’t working as well as it should (that part isn’t their fault obviously), but before the test the instructor didn’t make me check anything in the car and that was already a bad start. Then when it was time to start she told me to turn the car on and pull out. I made it a point to show I was looking in all the mirrors and checking my blind spot by exaggerating the motions a bit and when I pulled out she looked at me with an unimpressed look and said “you know you have to check your blind spot right?”. She continued to do this through out the whole test when I was doing my best to show I was checking the mirrors and it was always the same thing “you know you have to _?” YES I KNOW THATS WHY IM TRYING TO SHOW YOU THAT IM DOING IT!!!!! She didn’t even introduce herself so I don’t know her name. On top of that the instructor who drove me there told me one of his students passed the test after hitting the curb, which to my knowledge is an automatic fail. I guess passing depends on if the instructor feels like it, totally...
