No, but I barely passed. My FIL failed his first test, but passed on his second try.

I failed the driving part the first time; I was 15 years old and soooooo nervous
the second time I passed.

When I moved to Seattle, I had to re-take the written test in order to get a WA state license. I got the book and read it and passed the first time. I knew so many people that failed because they didn't refresh and read the book after so many years.

When I moved to Georgia..... well, things are a bit more lax here. I paid my $20 and walked away with a GA license. I don't think they require retesting at any point! Scary!

DOH!!! No I haven't failed the renewal! hahaha

Nope.
Aren't renewals tests only for those who got into more than X amount of incidents, or reach a certain age where their driving might be impaired? Which one was it for you DF?

I've never had to retake the test since I got my license at 16.

I've never had to retake anything, and I passed them both the first time around.

No, I never have but I was at the DMV when they were trying to tell a 90+ year old women that she had failed. It was sad
but comical at the same time.

Lady: Can I have my Drives License?
DMV: I'm sorry mam but you failed your driving test. You need to go home and practice.
Lady: Practice for what?
DMV: To take your driving test again.
Lady: But where's my Drivers License?
DMV: You cant have it until you pass your driving test.
Lady: But I took the driving test.
DMV: Yes, but you didnt pass.
Lady: Pass what?
DMV: Your driving test. Is your husband here by any chance? Can you get him.
Lady: Yes, I'll get him.

She was so old that they couldnt get the point across that she had failed the test and she could not have her liecense.
It was sad but I was thrilled to know that I would no longer be on the same roads with the person. Luckily(?), her
husband was still able to drive.

Ditto.

However, I would recommend that anyone retaking should read the driver's manual first.

I had to take the written test again when I moved states. I believe that is pretty common. Here you HAVE to read the book. They didn't ask normal, common sense driving questions. They asked statistics and strange facts that I would have never known. I did almost fail the sign test during my last renewal. They showed me 4 blank signs (only the shape and color) and I only knew 2! The guy gave me hints so I passed.
