Were these road tests part of your state's requirement for licensing? If so, wow.
I had to do basic traffic maneuvers - left turn, right turn, three-point turn, parallel park, and drive around a bit while obeying signs and signals (e.g. stop signs - as I mentioned upthread, one of my classmates failed her road test because she didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign). Road tests can be taken only during daylight hours, and cannot be taken during inclement weather.
Road tests are not offered in Manhattan, because you must take your road test in "typical driving conditions" and Manhattan is anything but typical. (To this day, I avoid driving in Manhattan.) Road tests are offered in the other four boroughs, though.
