| - My experience here just blew my mind, and not in a good way. The people working here are clearly miserable in life, and frankly, I would be too if I would spend 40 hours a week in this dump.
Nonetheless... Took my knowledge test here after moving to the area from Amsterdam. The test was (obviously) pretty straight forward, but the people at the desk are just unfriendly, rude and not helpful at all in answering any of your questions.
Then... I also took my road test here. Or actually, I didn't, because I failed parallel parking. Had an appointment for 10:30am but don't count on taking your test on time, cause you'll have to wait forever anyway. The guy judging my driving (or better said, parking) was such an A-hole! Contemplating on whether I should mention his name or not... I know you do the same freakin' thing every single day, but do you really have to be like that? Talking like a machine, having this sense of power over his face. He clearly (a little too clearly) loves to have this power because he's clearly the type of person to be picked on at school.
Drove my car within the lines without bumping into the poles, needed 1 turn more than the max of 3 turns. And that was it. He took about 2 seconds to explain why I failed and stepped out of my car.
This same guy also failed the guy who went before me, so I guess he was into it for the day.
It just amazes me how you get treated here, and it's something I've never experienced before. I know more people who have failed at this DMV, people who are all experienced drivers, so from what I hear (and experienced), they're super strict here.
Not keen on going back here, and will try to go somewhere else in hopes of finding a friendlier environment. Wish me luck!
