Really!

We shared our opinion that the test given in Mays Landing is the easiest in the world!

DMV Test in Mays Landing is not realistic

Here's why I belive the driving test in Mays Landing is the easiest test ever!

You literally pull out of the testing location, turn right, go down to a little cul-de-sac, turn around and return to the facility.

What kind of real world driving experience is that?

"Hey, we tested your driving, and we feel you're now prepared in New Jersey to drive down the Expressway, Parkway, and Turnpike. You've shown us that you are also capable of driving to your mailbox and back!"

Public reacts to Mays Landing driving test

Apparently, I'm not the only one to think that the driver's test given in Mays Landing is too easy.

From Reddit:

  • "Failed Cherry Hill twice and passed in Mays Landing. I'm from Voorhees and people would always make the 40 min drive to Mays Landing just to get an easy test. The course is the simplest thing ever: you literally make two turns and then you parallel park. I had a panic attack before my Mays Landing road test and I still passed within 5 minutes"
  • "The only thing you need to practice is parallel parking. Everything else is pretty automatic considering you go at like 20mph... unless you have nerves and in that case you probably shouldn't be on the road anyway lol."
  • " It's easy peasy, make sure you practice with the car you will be using and it will be fine."

Tougher test needed

So the next time you're heading down the Atlantic City Expressway and you're in the left lane, stuck behind someone going the speed limit, remember that they didn't have to really do anything special to get that license. Just a couple turns and a parallel park job.

Hey, DMV, how about updating to a more real-world test?
