Today we have an article from a guest author, William Berg. William wrote an article with some tips about behaving during the driving test:

Passing Your Drivers Exam

Taking your driver exam can be a very nervous experience but by thinking about a few common mistakes and learning from them you can considerable increase your chances of success, to get your coveted driver license.

On of the most common mistakes is to act cautiously and insecure. It is true that you should take care in the traffic but driving to carefully can make it seem like you don't know what you are doing and can actually make driving more dangerous. Being too careful can be dangerous in the same way as driving to recklessly can be dangerous. You might drive a little extra carefully as a result of the stress associated with the drivers exam but you should none the less try to drive with confidence. Avoid driving to slow, taking to long in intersections. This does however not mean that should be impatient or speeding as that is even worse. Do not take your drivers exam until you feel comfortable manoeuvring the car.

Another common mistake is not using the mirrors enough. You can never use the mirrors to much during a drivers exam, at least not as long as you are keeping track of what's happening in front of your car as well. Make sure to always look in the mirror before changing lanes, passing another car or leaving a parking spot.

Learn to park: Many find parking hard and it can therefore be worth training parking a little extra so that you feel secure parking before you take your driving exam.

Think ahead: An important part of the drivers' exam is to show that you can think ahead. Make sure that you choose the right line before an intersection right from the start so that you don't have to make last minute manoeuvring. Make sure to always use your indicators when you are changing lines.

Stay Focused: Many people relax when they have performed a task during the exam and forget that everything during the exam is a test. An example of this is when someone has completed a manoeuvre like an emergency stop to the side of the road and than relaxes and forget to enter the traffic again in the correct manner. They might forget using the mirrors and just recklessly drive out into the traffic again or forgetting to use their indicators. An error like this can very easily make the difference between passing and failing your drivers test. It is therefore very important to stay focused through the entire exam.

Learn to use the gears: Learning to use the stick correctly is very important and a common problem among those taking their drivers exam. Learn to use the gears correctly and when to change gear to increase your chances of passing your drivers test.

Shortcuts: Make sure not to take shortcuts across the road while taking your drivers exam. This is especially important when turning right since many drivers want to take a short cut through the intersections when turning right.

Passing your drivers exam doesn't have to be hard if you consider these common errors and make sure not to repeat them. Just stay focused through the entire exam and you'll have you drivers license soon enough. I am however going to leave you with one final piece of advice.

Relax! Relaxing will make your driving more natural and will help you avoid many common problems.

Your drivers license is the first step towards your dream car regardless of whether your dream car is corvette or a Military hummer!
