Here are three extremes of applicants for the road test: cannot start the vehicle, put it in drive or sit properly...if you can't see the hood of the vehicle without reaching over - you're aren't sitting properly! THINK ON THOSE. Some more: cannot correctly maneuver at the Stop All Way & the Two Way Stop Intersections, but get them mixed up - know the difference & how to correctly maneuver at each! Here's the most egregious & unsafe scenario - they maneuver at the Two Way Stop intersection as if it's a Stop All Way, especially, when multiple/large vehicles are parked on both sides, CANNOT SEE WHAT'S IN THE BLOCK OF VEHICLES COMING & are making a left turn or going straight! Even, when making a right turn, you must see what's in the block/up to 500 feet. At the traffic light intersection, if they are the lead vehicle making a left turn, as the light turns green, can't position the vehicle correctly in the intersection. The vehicle should be a quarter of a way (UNLESS IT'S A LARGE VEHICLE) close to the yellow/center lines, Wheels straight - not angled & then make an ARC shaped (except if it's not a sedan), turn. If they are the second vehicle, 99.9% of applicants just BLINDLY follow the lead vehicle!!! Watch this YouTube video: Left hand turn demonstration. Accumulating more than 30 points is a Fail. Look up the road test evaluation sheet and see how you can get (be penalized) more than 30 points. There are automatic fails which aren't listed: running the Red light, not making full (but, FOOL) stops at Stop signs, not yielding to pedestrians who are in the crosswalk or about to cross, speeding, going too slow, driving over the curb, etc. Oh, a very important maneuver that they cannot do is, Switch Lanes. Rarely, do they do all three: signaling, mirror check & ultimately, the blind spot check! Anyway, just practice 2 to 3 times a week & practice leading up to the test! On your last lesson, you shouldn't be guided, but handling the vehicle CORRECTLY & FLUIDLY. Like, tea & water as I used to say as a teenager, but you could say piece-a-cake or a walk in the park. Btw, if the examiner reaches out for the steering or steps on the brake for safety - you're done & will come again! NYS (from the DMV commissioner to granny or the child in that poor neighborhood) wants safe/competent drivers - don't try to get lucky! On the day of the test: BE ON/BEFORE TIME, WEAR YOUR GLASSES OR CONTACT LENS, BRING YOUR LEARNER PERMIT, 5HR OR DRIVER'S ED CERTIFICATE; IF YOU'RE UNDER 18, HAVE MOM, DAD OR GRANNY FILL OUT & SIGN THE MV262 FORM; VEHICLE MUST HAVE CURRENT REGISTRATION & A VALID INSPECTION STICKER - NO PHONE OR ZEROX...

If you get agent #423 at the Red Hook Road Test, consider yourself the unluckiest person on Earth. This man should not be in a position of passing/failing people's driving capabilities. This is not a trivial matter. 423 does not know how to speak loud or clear enough. This was my experience this morning 04/24/24. 1. He gets upset at a random driver for letting us make a left turn. The other driver was driving the opposite lane, and out of courtesy, waved me into the left turn. 423 was not happy about that. 2. I stop at a 2 way stop sign where I was asked to make a right turn. There was a black SUV to the left of me that did not have a stop sign but stopped for whatever reason. After stopping and proceeding cautiously (as required due to the unpredictable nature of the black SUV), 423 gets upset that I'm not going "fast enough" and then starts to mumble something about the lack of 4 way stop sign. I don't get how he didn't see the black SUV. I don't understand why he can't speak in a more articulate matter. 3. He specifically asked me to make a U-Turn. That's exactly what I did. He then proceeds to tell me that he had said "broken" U-turn. I did not hear "broken," I also don't understand why I was asked to make a 3-point turn when there were no obstacles. My car can easily make a u-turn in that spot without complications. It's like asking me to parallel park when there is only 1car! It doesn't make sense. You would just pull up behind the car. Instead, I was supposedly asked to make a "broken" u-turn when there was no barrier/obstacle. It was just easier to make a u-turn. Again, the man can't communicate. 4. He has such a lack of common courtesy. After the test ended, he got out of car and walked away. No "goodbye, goodluck, check the website for results." Not of that. I had to chase him down to get info on how to check the status of my test. People like agent #423 are the exact reason why government employees get such a bad reputation. If you ever hear government employees referred to as idiots, remind yourself that agents like #423 really...

I passed my road test today at the Red Hook site. The Red Hook Road test location is the best place to test your safe driving skills and improve your skills to pass the test. The Red Hook Area is great for people to learn and improve their driving skills to pass the road test because there’s very normal to low traffic flow in the morning and afternoon. The road test area is great for people to pass the road test because the traffic flow is not very busy and dangerous. I would say that only two-way streets can be intimidating for drivers during the road test. However, I would recommend practicing driving on a two-way street so that drivers can drive effortlessly on a two-way street to pass the road test without feeling nervous or worrying about the street. The road test site is pretty straightforward to practice to pass the road test without feeling overwhelmed or anxious for new drivers. I recommend this test site area for road testing because it’s straightforward to observe and more cognizant of the surroundings at the intersections. Examiner 498 was very professional, polite, and fair. The instructor's constructive feedback helped me improve my driving skills to pass the road test with her on a second road test because I failed the first road test for not looking at the back of the car when parking and making a three-point U-Turn. I only looked at the mirror with her on the first road test when parking and making a three-point U-Turn instead of looking at the back of the car. This achievement wouldn’t be possible without her constructive feedback on my driving skills to pass the road test. She spoke very politely, and her instructions were straightforward to pass the test. She made me do three right turns, three left turns, parallel parking, and a three-point U-turn within a mile of the road test area. The test lasted for about 5-6 minutes to actually...
