TT On Facebook
Took the test for the second time last night. Just had to do Blind Side and the road test as I passed everything else the first time. The road test went pretty smoothly until I got off the highway a second Time. I made the mistake of trying to down shift one more (from 6 to 5th) gear as the off ramp started to decline downhill Which cause me to grind the gears a bit but I caught it in time. I went thru NETTTS 160hr program which ill post a review in the diaries section.
