does the test take you on the highway like that?

20 years ago i took the test at the Norristown location, and we never did highway driving.

Not when I took it either. But if somebody is seeking lessons for highway driving I really, really don't want to talk them out of it😬😬

I can actually remember some of my first times driving on the highway, and how nervous I was. I wouldn't blame someone for wanting specific instruction

people are driving insane on girard already, idk what imma do on the highway. i spend a lot of time in nyc and philly. man i have seen how shit drivers are from nyc, nj and philly. swear half these guys don’t have a license. it’s just about going point a to point b as fast as possible i guess.

no but i want to learn how to drive on a highway properly. anyone i’ve talked to is shocked that my instructor isn’t teaching me how to drive on a highway. most of them are not from philly or didn’t learn to drive here though. i guess if they don’t teach it here then it makes a lot more sense why people here drive like that

Firstly, thank you for doing what you can to be a responsible driver! Secondly, please don’t ever stop at the end of a highway on ramp! On ramps are for bringing your speed up to the flow of traffic so you can safely merge. It blows my gasket every time I see someone stopped at the end of an on ramp - it’s even harder to safely merge when you’re starting from 0mph!
