Is it an instant fail if you hit the curb on your Oregon driving test at the DMV?
Alex from West Linn HS in Oregon asks: Hi i live in oregon, my friend just took the driving test and said if you hit the curb that is NOT an instant fail? is this true? can you please email me back
Hey Alex
It is my understanding that in Oregon, hitting the curb on your drive test is a potential auto fail. It really depends on two factors:
- how hard you hit the curb (did you barely touch it, scrape it, or did you run into it hard?)
- the examiner's point of view (some examiners are more laid back, some are more strict, or you might just catch an examiner in a bad mood). Each examiner will grade a little differently based on how they interpret the situation.
So my answer to you would be this: Don't touch the curb whatsoever because you are not supposed to. Give yourself at least 6 inches or more of cushion for peace of mind. That way, you don't have to worry about whether or not you will fail.
Hope that helps!
Until next time, stay away from that curb and off the sidewalk Alex!
