I am scheduled to take my test at Miller Air Park. It was the only location available on the date I wanted to take it, and seeing as I am not from the area, I was wondering if anyone could offer up any details about the course? Is it a closed course?
it's ridiculously easy. When I took the test, they had me drive around a closed course at 5mph. If you remember to come to a complete stop at the stop signs, signal when you turn, and drive on the right side of the road, you will pass.
that explains a lot about NJ driving. I always wondered about the road test...
I've never heard of miller Air Park but if you cannot pass the driving test, you don't belong on the road. I've been a proponent of making both the written and driving tests MUCH more difficult than they are. Or at least, more stringent. People seem to think its their "right" to be able to drive and feel everyone in the world needs to get out of their way or watch out for them when the exact opposite is true. Study, practice, practice, practice, and you'll be fine. Once you've been behind the wheel a few years you will understand just how simple the test is.

i don't see the point in saying this because there's people in this state that have no business being on the road in this state because they don't know how to drive period. it's not that they don't know how to drive a car as in straight driving, k-turning or parallel parking but not knowing how to drive on the road with other drivers following the basic rules. tailgating other drivers, switching lanes erratically where you're zig zagging on the road way nearly crashing into people while doing so, speeding on side streets in residential areas, overly aggressive driving, etc. THAT IS NOT DRIVING. they're a danger to themselves and other people outthere.

I agree completely, that's why I continued with

I failed because I didn't know what a k turn was been driving 20 yrs
Back in the olden days, when I took driver education, it was referred to as a "3 Point Turn". When I later heard my students referring to it as a "K-Turn", I did not know what they were talking about at first. Perhaps you also learned the term, "3 Point Turn".
I actually failed my test the first time when i turned 17.
I drove one handed like i normally do, and i failed because of it. Hahaha.
When I took my road test in 1967 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, the DMV instructor that gave me the test was a fairly young guy. When I was parallel parking, I was backing into the space between the cones and using my mirrors. He said are you going to do that when your driving, or are you going to turn and look over your shoulder and steer with one hand like most people do. I told him that I would probably do it one handed. He didn't make me complete the parking task and then asked me to go down the course and make a 3 point turn. I got half way through that maneuver and he stopped me. He said OK your done. I passed the test but left scratching my head. I don't know if he just wanted to get done or realized that I knew had to drive.
I have some family in Jersey and my two younger cousins passed with flying colors. They were pretty responsible about it though and practiced parallel parking until they could do it without bumping the curb. I thought the practice really paid off. Check your mirrors, buckle up and always use your blinkers, good luck!
