Dark Alleys and the Driving Test

Today I want to address an issue that sometimes arises on driving tests, but is hardly practiced: alleys. Those narrow, broken roads bring much trouble in driving tests. Here is my article about it:

Alley Driving - A Driving Test Fear

Alleys are the backs of every home. They are narrow roads, often untreated and dirty. Many horror stories have been haunting alleys, and they have a really bad image for themselves. However, alleys can be relatively easy to drive in and not scary. On some driving tests the student driver is asked to enter an alley. Usually, this ends up with a failing student. There are many mistakes made on alleys, some of them even repeat often.

One mistake regarding alleys is speed. Alleys are narrow roads, so drivers should go very slowly on them. However, some driving students are not aware of the speed limit in alleys, which is usually not posted. This usually makes drivers go faster than required. Also, crawling in alleys is not helping the student score well on the test and can lead to failure.

Another common mistake in alleys is not noticing cars backing up from parking spots. As said before, alleys are narrow roads. As such, drivers need to be extra careful and scan even more when they slowly drive through alleys. If a backing car surprises a driving student during a driving test, or worse, hits him, he can say goodbye to his license.

Children and animals cause the scariest situation in alleys. Garbage cans and big objects are usually placed in alleys because alleys are normally not visible for the public on the main road. This makes them a great place for hiding children and animals. However, when those children and animals come out of their hiding, it can cause and already caused accidents. During the driving test, hitting an animal or a person is a sure way to fail.

Potholes are a major annoyance in alleys. Because they are "back roads", alleys are often untreated for a longer time than normal roads. This causes them to develop potholes and other road annoyances. Going too fast through them can cause a tire to blow up, and during a driving test this is a sure failure.

The only way to drive well through alleys is with a guide that shows exactly how to drive through alleys and bad road situations. Also, a guide for any road condition will also help any driving student in a driving test.

You can get yourself a guide like this at the Pass your Driving Test area of Great-Info-Products.com, along with a free course about more driving test mistakes.

I hope you found this article useful and you're practicing alleys. If not, you should really get started with it.
