Just like the title says, I'm in Springfield and I REALLY need to get my license ASAP. I've done some training in the past and failed the driving test once. I have a permit, and I just need somebody 21+ to help prepare me for the test.

I'm willing to pay for gas and your time.

If you have any advice for me, or if you're interested in helping me out, let me know.

As a dad this breaks my heart. I don’t know your situation, but someone should have been there doing this. Sorry. I really hope someone here can help you. If I weren’t several hours away I would teach you myself.

Where did you take the test?

I originally did mine at 16 in Springfield. First time no problems. My license got suspended, and expired while it was suspended for 30 days... I like to speed.

When I went to take my driving test again downtown was a mess, I actually failed for some dumb crap.

I ended up going to Republic to take the test, it was a much better route than downtown Springfield.

I took it down in Branson and I did TERRIBLY. I did not fail on something small.

Yikes, I don't know what Branson's route would be... I would try a nearby town.

Can I ask what part was the hardest or biggest deduction?

I didn't pull out of the parking space correctly and almost hit two cars. I literally didn't make it to the road.

One of the times I failed after my license expired, I didn't make it out of the parking spot.

I checked all my mirrors and over my shoulders like 3 times, all clear... I put the car in reverse, not even hitting the gas, just let off the brake, the car started to ease back very slowly. I maybe moved a foot or so back, then a jeep came flying through the parking lot behind me. I pressed the brake, I was not even off of it with my foot.

The trooper said, "That's it, were done."

As if I almost hit them, if really wasn't even close...

If you’re having trouble in tight spaces, I’d recommend practicing with cones.
