Driving Test Questions and Answers

First of all, when preparing for your driving test, you shouldn't be afraid. The inspector is not there to help you fail but to make sure you are not a threat to yourself and other drivers. Also, make sure you are well prepared, know what he is looking for, and be very alert. The inspector should treat you with respect and courtesy and be fair with you. If you encounter any problems, contact the office manager to resolve the situation. In any case, don't get nervous. The test lasts just 20 minutes, so you have nothing to worry about. Here are a few of the most common questions candidates ask us and here is what we answer.

Who must take the test? Well, the answer is pretty simple. People who don't have a license in another state (foreign licenses make no difference), people who have vision related problems, people who possess limited term licenses for physical and/or mental conditions, people who possess a provisional or probationary license, and people who have been licensed in another state but are unable to surrender the driving license.

Are driving test the same? Yes, tests for Class C driver licenses are the same for everyone. Adult drivers take the same test as teenage drivers do. If the driver has a physical or mental condition, special versions of driving tests may be used, containing additional elements.

How do I prepare for my test? First of all, you should get enough practice. Minors need at least 50 hours of behind the wheel training, 10 of which are required to be night driving. Whenever you practice, consider your accompanying driver an inspector and ask him to tell you where you made mistakes. Correct those mistakes! If you are confused, ask him to clarify the situation for you. Practice every driving maneuver available to make sure the examiner agrees with the fact that you can handle your vehicle under normal driving conditions. Always obey the rules of the road and never ever exceed the speed limit. Don't drive too close to the minimum limit either or the examiner will think you aren't skilled enough.

Last, but not least, you should get a good driving guide to help you with insight on what examiners look for and what they don't like to see. In such guides you can also find very useful tips and tricks, as well as general information about the test. The driving test guide can be your best help if you read it thoroughly.

In this article we have answered the most important questions when it comes to taking your first driving test. Regardless, you should get your own driving test guide to help you with useful advice and tips.
