I failed the driving test

They were far more interested in my address matching on 2 of my documents than if I knew how to drive a car.

Which two documents would have addresses on them? Other than the proof of address, none of the others have addresses, or do they?

when you pay at Banamex, what do you tell them at the window? Which window do you go to? I have been in Banamex once and it is confusing in there.

Sage, these are the datos on the flyer they give out at the transito office:

Any Banamex
Deposit in the name of: Secretaria de Ffianzas del Gobierno Del Estadouence de Jalisco
55534-9 sucursal no.870 referencia 1

I am sure you can go to any window, although I think they have 1 window that is just for people with Banamex accounts.

My husband paid mine at the tax office, but I don't remember where that is. It says Degollado no. 306 on the flyer.

Bring the origional and 1 copy
When you pay, the receipt is good for one year. Don't give it to them until you "pass" . Make sure you pay the right amount. The amounts are different for new license, renewal, lost, etc....

[quote="cypress"]Ms. Thang what happened to you is outrageous. I would find someone to make a complaint to. Next time maybe you should take a witness with you-someone that speaks Spanish if you don't. The witness could take pictures. Not looking over your shoulder sounds like nonsense but I have heard it before. My license comes up for renewal soon and I'm not looking forward to it. I got my current license in Riberas without paying anyone.

I wish I had asked him to show me the law that says I can't look behind me when I back up. I have complained and I have been assured that when I come back in 20 days I will not have a problem.
If I had complained before the fail was entered into the computer it could have been " fixed", but by the time the complaint was made and it was looked into, it had already been entered.
If you screw up and you fail, you know what your choices are. But if you don't screw up and they invent reasons to fail you, stand up for yourself! But do it right then or it will be too late.

I took my test on Alcalde by myself almost 6 years ago. Even with a valid U.S.
license I had to take the driving test as well as the written test. The sample
questions I had at that time from the website did state that it was illegal
to look over your shoulder when backing up. Haven't seen a current copy
of the rules and/or sample test questions.

Could it be illegal to be in motion when looking backwards? But not if you are still stopped? Ridiculous anyway.

I think this is correct, you are supposed to use your mirrors and not take your eyes off the road in front.

That's dumb...they've never heard of a blind spot?
