The Student Guide for the Driving Test

It's another lovely Friday, which means it's once again the time for driving test tips. Here they are.

Student Driver’s Guide – What You Need to Do in Order to Pass Your Road Test

People fail their driver's test for a number of reasons. Some do so due to lack of practice. Some are too nervous to focus clearly. Some are SO confident that they neglect a few minor, but important things.

If you want to pass your test, you need to get plenty of practice in. You need to stay calm and confident during the exam, yet not so confident that you forget to be cautious.

Here are some of the common mistakes student drivers make during the exam:

• Ineffective observation and judgment at junctions.
• Not using the mirrors properly at the correct times.
• Incorrect positioning.
• Giving misleading signals.
• Incorrect road position or poor lane discipline.
• Failure to move away from stationary positions correctly.
• Going too slow. Slowness leads to delays, and delays can lead to accidents.
• Steering too late or too early.
• Messing up parallel parking.

Now that you know which mistakes to avoid, here are a few tips to help you get through the test:
• Find out where the test routes are and practice driving on them. Ask a friend or look online to find out which streets in your area to practice on. You should have a good driver with you. The driver should be somebody you can trust to inform you of your mistakes.

• Drive at least 30 minutes prior to the test. Make sure you're comfortable behind the wheel before you begin the exam. Wear comfortable clothes and eat breakfast! You'll feel more anxious if you take the test on an empty stomach.

• Practice driving in the same vehicle that you will be using in the test. Familiarize yourself with all of the controls. Fix the seat to suit your size so that you can drive comfortably.

• Look online for a list of things that examiners check for during the test. If you know exactly what they will be watching for, you'll know what to do in order to pass! You'll know which mistakes to avoid.

• Practice parallel parking. Watch how-to videos online to learn how. Make sure to signal properly before you begin. Try your best not to hit the curb. Look to the sides and behind you as you prepare to parallel park.

• When you get in the vehicle with the examiner, relax. Make sure your mirrors, seat, and steering wheel are all adjusted. If you are unsure about anything, be sure to ask. It's better to ask than to keep quiet. If you're unsure about something, you might mess up later. Also, check that your examiner is wearing his or her seatbelt. Sometimes they will leave it off purposely to see if the student driver will notice.

• Don't let the examiner make you feel nervous! They are just doing their jobs. They are hoping that you will pass. It's their job to ensure that only safe and efficient drivers are allowed to go out on the road.

If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to pass your road test!

Getting your driver's license is not that hard. If you would like to pass your driving test without trying so hard, you should get yourself this amazing driving test guide.
