It's mostly side streets but when I took it there the examiner had me go on 3 of the major streets there, Nassau Blvd, Jericho Turnpike and Herricks Rd.

Some of the streets there are kind of narrow compared to many other Nassau neighborhoods. My nephew failed the test there because the examiner had him do a 3 point turn on a street that was narrower than the ones where he was used to practicing and his wheel touched the curb.

Not necessarily-of around 10 people I can think of who took the test there, half passed on the 1st attempt, including me.

190 Broadway, Garden City Park, NY 11040-this is the address for the gym on the south side of the road

The starting point for the test is Broadway and Thorens, on the north side of Broadway right next to a parking lot

This is why they're failed...

It shouldn't matter what the roads width or length or whatever it is, if you can't judge the car for that road YOU CAN'T DRIVE ! ! !

Everything changes all the time and YOU need to know what to do ALL the time, which most don't and that is where everyone has no clue

Ordinarily I would agree with you but I can't tell you how many people I know that the last time they parallel parked was for their road test, there are ways to avoid such maneuvers.

1. That was not going thru a red light and was before the block the box law
2. When we entered she was 1st i was second there was no obstructed box until she went beyond the turn...

What happened was she entered drove all the way to the other crosswalk and waited for the traffic to stop, after the light changed to make the turn, blocking us from going around her because she went to the crosswalk, what i never understood was how the po who was 2nd from the light in the north direction came to the conclusion i was the problem...
Was a bs call on his part.
