Road Signs - Signs for Passing the Test

After yesterday's guest article, it's time for the home team to say its word. And today, my article about road signs that are being ignored during the driving test.

Ignoring Road Signs - A Driving Test Disaster

Road signs regulate traffic flow on the road. They tell drivers how fast to drive, where to turn, when to turn, and when not to turn. Reading and understanding them is very important for fitting in traffic and being a good driver. Driving students must know all traffic signs in order to pass their driving test successfully. However, some of them don't know all necessary signs, which causes them to make mistakes.

The most common ignored road sign is of course the speed limit sign. Many driving students just pass them without notice. The new speed limit can be either higher or lower than the previous speed limit, but it is still different. If the student's speed deviates too much from the speed limit, the test will end, unsuccessfully.

No entry signs are also a source for trouble. Examiners will never try to trick their examinees by telling them to turn to a one way street from the wrong way. However, if the student notices that at the end of the street there is a no entry sign, he should prepare to turn. Making a turn on the last moment or entering against a no entry sign can lead to a test failure.

Stop signs are also widely ignored among student drivers. Some are even brutally ignored and the student doesn't even slow down before them. Most of the times the driving student will notice the stop sign, but not make a complete stop. This is clearly a critical error and clearly a test failure.

Yield signs are also victims of ignorant driving students. Although yield signs don't force drivers to stop, they do require them to check the area before driving. Some driving students don't notice yield signs and take the right of way from cars in a dangerous way. Doing so can result in an accident and not getting a license.

Road signs need to be practiced. They are a part of the permit test, but it's often not enough for practical driving. Every driving student should get a guide that explains how to deal with certain road signs during driving. A guide like this is especially important for the test.
