In any case, that does sound like horrible circumstances to have to take your exam in... hope next time goes better, and good luck!
But maybe it depends on the state? And maybe that's not a good thing, judging by the drivers I see out here. I'm here in Texas and I don't know anybody who has ever failed a driving test. Well, except for my sister but she has wrecked every car she has ever driven so she doesn't really count.

Seriously? Why? At 13 you should have had some awareness of the danger you were posing to others

Probably just a difference in perspective. Kids sneaking a vehicle for a jor ride is pretty common.

It's more pronounced and important in the countryside where there are no streetlights.

I found driving nervewracking until I got to do it by myself. NZ has a great system, IMO.
