Preparing for the Driving Test

Preparing for the driving test is not an easy mission, but not a hard one either. Here is an article I wrote with several tips regarding test preparation.

7 Driving Test Tips How to Prepare for the Road Exam

Have you been practicing for your driving test? Are you trying to get your driver's license? If so, then you'll need some tips to help you prepare. The internet is best place to start, since it's filled with guides, how-to videos, step-by-step diagrams, and more. Take the information you learn online and apply it to your driving when you practice. Before you know it, you'll be a good driver!

Here are some tips on preparing for your road exam:

• If you are just starting out, make sure you are practicing with a good instructor. You can't just practice with any adult driver especially if that person isn't very responsible. The person you practice with should be able to provide you with advice. He or should should make you feel comfortable and confident. You should be provided with constructive criticism.

• Try commentary driving. Talk to yourself through the entire process. Announce out loud the things you see and what you are going to do. This might seem kind of silly, but it's actually very helpful.

• Make sure that you know all of the driving maneuvers by heart. When it comes to techniques such as parallel parking, you need to practice, practice, and practice some more. You can use something like boxes to help you practice parking. Be sure to talk yourself through the process.

• When practicing, be sure to focus on observation. Many test candidates fail because they aren't observing carefully. You shouldn't just look you should also see. When driving, you need to constantly be checking your mirrors. Your eyes should be moving. Pay close attention to what is happening around you at all times.

• Know the area very well. Get to know it. Know all of the roads and signs. Drive all around the area near the DMV testing center. If you are comfortable driving around the area(s) used for the testing, then you shouldn't have any problems on the day of the test.

• On the day of the testing, drive with the examiner just as you would with your instructor. Don't drive any differently than you normally would. Your entire aim should be to drive safely and properly not to impress the examiner.

• The vehicle should be inspected prior to the testing. Everything should be in working order. Also, don't forget your paperwork, including insurance information. You don't want to shop up to take the test only to find out that you left an important document at home.

Keep these tips in mind when practicing and you should learn how to drive!

Read an online driving guide to get the secrets you need for passing. You can pass the test on the first try if you take advantage of online driving resources! There is no need to feel anxious or nervous - all of the information you need is available online.

I hope this article helped you,

New Driver? Find Insurance

One of the highest prices for auto insurance is paid by new drivers. Here is an article by Bryan A Smith that will help you lower this price.

Questions to Help New Drivers Find Discounts on Auto Insurance

So the big day has finally come. You've passed your driver's examination and now you're getting your first car. Ex-ci-ting! Reality check-- Do you have auto insurance? Since it is mandatory in every Canadian province and territory to insure your vehicle, it is best to have your insurance sorted out before making this all-important purchase. You have heard the advice to "shop around" for the right deal on the car, why not insurance as well?

As a first-time auto insurance customer, you will likely start out paying higher premiums simply because you are just beginning to build your driving history. And while you may not have a clear picture of your driving needs and habits just yet, (is driving part of your occupational duties, as opposed to just commuting from home to workplace and/or school and back), it is worth the time to do a little "due diligence" in your research to see if anticipated travel and behavioral patterns can lead to some cost-cutting measures and ease the stress on your finances. There just may be some discounts available to you right from the start.

Here are some suggestions of the kind of questions you might consider asking yourself in regards to how you intend to use your first car.

Low-Mileage (infrequent use)

· Where do I shop for groceries? Do I always need to take the car?· What other places or activities (e.g., gym, library, church) can I get to with alternate transportation?

· Do I intend to travel on highways a lot? (e.g., going to the lake/cottage, going to other cities)

· Am I going to socialize with a lot of my friends after work and on the weekends? Do these activities involve alcohol? Drugs? Am I at risk for impairment?

· How do I feel about being a designated driver?

Anti-Theft

· When out visiting friends, what sort of things would I leave in the car?

· What sort of security measures might I want/need? (e.g., steering wheel club, remote starter, loud alarm)

· Do I really need all the fancy gadgets like DVD players in my car? Will they be a distraction?

· What measures will I take to reduce usage (if any) of mobile devices in my car?

Defensive Driving/Improvement

· When I was learning how to drive, what were some of my bad habits? What am I doing to continually improve myself as a driver?

· Am I prepared for emergencies? (roadside emergency kit in the trunk, i.e., spare tire, jack, flares, blanket, etc...)

· How old is the car? (if buying a used car, how many repairs may it require/how often?)

In addition to working on improving your driving history and making sure you are a safe and courteous driver, auto insurance discounts may also be offered if you purchase other types of insurance from the same company (e.g., life, home, medical) or become a member of an automobile club.

A super-duper idea in shopping around for deals from auto insurance companies is not to be solely influenced by the cost of the premiums. Consider other factors before making your final decision. What is the company's customer service like? Helpful? Friendly? Convenient? Timely? Available on-line? Know what is important to you and make sure your key expectations are met.

Examining some of the key areas of your driving habits, finding appropriate discounts that might reduce the initially high costs of auto insurance will help you in the long-term to make the experience of owning your first car more pleasant. Happy (and safe) motoring!

Freeways

I love freeways. They are not the best paved roads, but many lanes and a good speed make them really fun to drive. They have only one problem: too many cars.

The Los Angeles area has lots of cars. This makes the freeways look like a parking lot during rush hour and a parking lot exit during non-rush hour times. Five lanes each way are clogged with cars.

Even with that, when going out of Los Angeles the lanes become clear and much more fun to drive.

Ease Your Nerves

Being nervous before the driving test is natural, but when it interferes with your performance it becomes a problem. Here is an article I wrote about this issue.

Feeling Nervous About Your Driving Test? Follow These Tips on Staying Calm

You need to be in the right mindset if you want to pass your driver's exam. Although it's normal to feel nervous, you shouldn't let your nerves get the best of you. If you can stay calm and drive confidently, you will be able to pass. How can you stay calm, though?Here are some tips on keeping your nerves in check:

• Try to think positive. Maintaining a positive attitude will provide you with more confidence in your abilities. Instead of thinking "what if I do something wrong? I bet I'll do something incorrectly", think "What can I do to improve my driving? Are there any mistakes I can avoid making?"

• Take practice tests before the big day. Even if you've already passed the written exam, you can still take more practice tests. The more knowledge you have about driving, the more confidence you will feel. Whenever you miss any questions, find out what the real answers are. Make improvements whenever and wherever you can.

• Keep reminding yourself that "it's just a test". Really, it is. Even if you fail, you'll get a chance to try again. Just keep learning from your mistakes and you will eventually pass. Everything will be okay.

• Learn how to visualize yourself passing. Close your eyes and imagine yourself making all of the correct moves on the test route. Imagine how happy you will feel when you pass. Visualize the examiner informing you that you pass, and you standing in line to get your picture taken.

• The fewer people who know you are going to take the test, the less pressure you will feel to pass. Even though you might be tempted to tell all of your friends and relatives when you are going to take it, it's for the best that you don't. If they don't all know, you won't have to try and impress them all.

• Just make sure you get enough practice. If you practice driving every single day, you will feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Practice driving on different types of roads and terrains. When you take the test, drive the exact same way you drove during practice.

• Get plenty of sleep the night before. Eat before you take the test - even if you're not hungry. You will be able to drive better if you have food in you. Right before the test, inhale through your nose and count to three, hold the breath for a few seconds, and then release. Do this over and over again until you feel calm.

If you do all of these, you will feel less nervous during your driving test. You should be able to drive comfortably and confidently enough to pass.

Check out some more online driving tips so that your road exam goes smoothly! You can gain a lot of knowledge by checking out an online driving course. There are videos, drawings, practice tests, and other resources available.

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.

Driving Test Expectations

One of the best ways to reduce fear is knowing what to expect. This is very true when it comes to driving tests. Here is an article I wrote about this issue.

Guidelines on Passing Your Road Exam - What Should You Expect?

What can you expect on the day of your road test? What, exactly, will you be tested on? If you know what to expect, you'll be able to prepare more easily. Listening to your friends' horror stories probably isn't the best place to start. In fact, doing so will only serve to make you nervous.

The test is the last hurdle you will have to pass in order to get your driver's license. As nerve-wracking as this sounds, the fact of the matter is that it's just a test. Unlike a lot of other tests, you WILL be able to take it again if you fail. In fact, you can keep trying and trying until you finally pass. How many other tests are like that?

Here are some tips to help you get through the road exam:

• You need to make sure that you're using the right car! If you only have one vehicle available to you then have a professional come in and inspect it first. Make sure everything is working correctly so that you won't experience any problems during your driving practice.

• Learn how to signal properly. You will be tested on signaling in a variety of situations. You will need to signal as you first pull out at the start of the test. You'll need to signal to other drivers to let them know whenever you are going to change lanes or park.

• During the test, the examiner will tell you to do routine maneuvers such as merging with traffic and changing lanes. Be sure to look in the rear view mirror AND check over your shoulder. Even if you're certain that you can see the blind spot, you should still check over your shoulder. The examiner will take points off of your test if you don't.

• Remember to stay within the speed limit the whole time. It'll be your job to show the examiner that you are aware of the traffic conditions around you. Your eyes should be moving constantly. You should always know what is going on - not just in front of you, but on your sides and behind you as well.

• Another important factor of a road test is parallel parking. Traditionally, this is the most difficult thing to do. You can practice parallel parking by setting up boxes somewhere where there are no other cars. Keep practicing until you are pretty good at it, and then try parallel parking behind real vehicles. You should be able to do it easily before taking the test.

Hopefully, you now have an idea of what to expect during your road exam. Keep these tips in mind and you should do all right!

There is a lot more you can learn about driving tests if you take an online course. Check out an online driving course and you will learn all there is to know about passing. These courses include practice quizzes to help you prepare.

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.

Easily Compare Auto Insurance

When choosing auto insurance, it's important to compare several offers and choose the best one for you. Here is an article by Frank Craven about this important topic.

Simple Steps to Help You Compare Auto Insurance

With the busy lifestyle of today, you can hardly find the time to call every single insurer in order to compare insurance quote offered. Luckily, technology has simplified the entire ordeal. Nowadays, it is possible to compare insurance companies online and get the best offer available. Furthermore, the process is simple and fast thanks to, online insurance comparison companies.

First of all, you need to have a list of potential insurance providers you can consider as you compare insurance quote. They should be at least five so that you have a choice of diverse insurance policies to consider. Search for reliable insurance providers online by going through a number of forums and reviews. If most of the opinions from previous customers are positive then the insurance provider is likely to be a reliable one. Remember though that you must take your time to go through their sites and look at their specifications. This will make it easier for you when it comes to comparing car insurance.

Secondly, you can get a quote from the insurer's website. This is what you will use to compare insurance quote given by that provider. You simply log in to their website and submit your details as requested and a suitable quote will be prepared and sent back to you in a few minutes. You can be requested to submit your car model, age, driving history, address along with other intricate details that may affect the insurance policy. At this juncture, make sure you submit accurate information since the resulting quote will be very useful in comparing car insurance.

The resulting quote is now an important asset to help you determine the best insurance policy. The quote will have utilized the details earlier submitted to come up with an insurance policy that is within your budget and covers most if not all your insurance needs. If the quote is unsatisfactory, you can choose to visit another insurer's site and ask for their quote. Use the two quotes to compare insurance companies with the best offer for your situation. You have the freedom to consider all your potential insurers before making a final decision. After all, this is what comparing car insurance entails.

The greatest task is in coming to a conclusion on the most favorable insurance policy. With a number of quotes at hand, how do you determine the most suitable policy? You need to compare auto insurance prices but also considering the level of coverage being offered. You can come across a relatively cheap insurance company but it does not offer comprehensive coverage of most risks.

Start off by going through each quote and analyzing them considering your previously laid down preferences. If you really need damage insurance, then you need to consider getting a policy that covers such risks. However, the most important thing to consider as you compare car insurance rates is that, the policy will be able to fit in well with your finances. Never make the mistake of getting an insurance policy you cannot afford, while there are thousands of options that you can.

How to Practice Driving for the Test

Practicing for the driving test shouldn't be a hard mission. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.

Tips On How to Practice Driving and Preparing for Your Road Exam

The driving test might or might not be the hardest test you ever take, depending on how prepared you are. Despite what other people might tell you, it really doesn't have to be difficult. As long as you get enough practice and study in, you should be able to pass. Sure, you might feel nervous, but if you've practiced enough, you should still be able to pass.

The most important thing for you to do is to stay positive. If you maintain a good attitude about the whole thing, you will be less likely to fail. This is because you will feel more motivated to study and practice.

You can also take advantage of online resources. There are plenty of internet driving courses to help you prepare for the road exam.

Here are a few tips on how to pass:

• Make sure you're getting enough sleep as you practice. If you know that you're going for a drive the next day, go to bed early. If you get enough sleep, you'll feel better behind the wheel. You'll be more alert and observant. You should also eat a nice meal before you go out and practice. Never drive on an empty stomach.

• Practice as often as you can with a qualified instructor. If you aren't taking a driving education class, then ask the most professional adult you know to help you. This individual should be somebody who won't be afraid to tell you when you do something wrong. He or she should offer you constructive criticism without yelling at you. DO NOT get behind the wheel with somebody who has a hard time staying calm!

• Start out driving in an empty parking lot or old abandoned road. As you start to get comfortable behind the wheel, you can move on to a two-way road, and then eventually onto a freeway. Practice as often as you can. Remember everything that you've studied when you're out on the road driving.

• Although you should practice often, you shouldn't force yourself to drive if you are tired. Do not try to learn too much at once. Practice at a steady pace, but not a fast one. If you are forcing yourself to drive more than you should be, the practice could be counter-productive since you'll be wearing yourself out.

• On the day of the test, dress comfortably. Make sure you have all of your documents ready to go. You don't want to forget any of the paperwork. Eat a big breakfast. Take a few deep breaths before you begin. Drive exactly the same way that you did during the practice driving.

You can learn everything you need to know about driving on the internet. Just look for driving tips and secrets to help you pass the test. You can even find checklists on things to practice on! Online driving courses will help prepare you for the big day.

I hope these tips will help you with your test.

The Benefits of Insurance

Insurance is one of the most important products the world has. It makes you calm by handing your risk to someone else for a premium. The same applies to cars and driving. Here is an article by Myles Nierenberg about the benefits of insurance.

Benefits of Auto Insurance


Auto Insurance is almost a necessity to have these days. Most everyone out there owns and drives a car around. Obviously when owning a car you need to take the proper precautions to protect you and the other drivers out there by having auto insurance. If you get in a car accident who fixes your car and the person that you hit? You need to be able to have the peace of mind that if an accident like that were to occur that you would be able to have the help you want.

That is precisely what auto insurance is. When getting car insurance there are many different types of coverages of it. Lets say you have an old beat up car, not everyone would want to have the insurance on the beat up car but would have the insurance on if you hit a person or another car. That's when your auto insurance would step up and they would take care of the other persons car and needs. Most people have a car that they would like to protect so then you would get the insurance that would cover both your car and any other car or person you were to get in the accident with.

Whether you are insuring only your car or insuring the car that you hit. You need to search and compare all the different insurance rates out there and what they can and will provide for you. The nice thing about auto insurance is that anyone is able to get it. It's not an insurance that you can only receive if you are a good driver or rich or so on. Anyone can get car insurance. However like I said earlier there are different types of a car insurance and therefore your agent can give different quote and rates according to your drivers record.

If you have been in a car accident or received some sort of a ticket you make me what is considered high risk insurance. Then your insurance could be a little bit more expensive than someone else who has not been in a car accident. That is why it is so important you want to compare as many insurance quotes and rates as you can. You want to be able to save as much as you possibly can instead of paying way too much for car insurance.

Insurance agencies are all different. Some give different deals and reward you for noting receiving tickets or being in accidents. Some insurance agents will give you deals if you insure all of your cars with them and homes and such. So again do you research online. Be sure to compare and search all the different auto insurances out there. There are many to choose from so you have many options to look at to find the best auto insurance that matches your needs. Look at and compare all the different quotes and rates that you can possibly get.

Be sure to get some type of auto insurance because if you don't and are in an accident it could cost more from your wallet.

If you have been in a car accident or received some sort of a ticket you make me what is considered high risk insurance. Then your insurance could be a little bit.... Learn more at Auto Insurance Kennewick and insurance quotes

The Price of Rentals

In ten days I'm going to land in Los Angeles for a road trip. Not only in Los Angeles, but across the Mid-West and then some of the Northeast of the United States. To do that, I'm renting a car. Unfortunately, this is a very expensive business.

The rental itself is not very expensive. Basic cars cost about $20-$25 per day, so it's not such a big deal. The problem starts when adding taxes, fees, and those anooying insurance addons.

Basically, car retnal companies give a car with no insurance. Customers have to pay for every scratch, or pay for insurances and protections.

Luckily, I found some discounts for my reservation, so I'll be able to drive without bankrupting myself.

Also, don't worry. I'll keep you updated on my trip as well.

Driving Test Mistakes Revisited

Driving test mistakes are a big subject in this blog, and today we're revisiting them. Here they are, in a different article.

Common Mistakes You Must Avoid Making If You Want to Pass Your Road Exam

Do you want to get your driver's license? You are going to have to pass both a written exam and a road test. The written test is easy for most student drivers. The road test is where most people have trouble.

If you learn the mistakes made by other drivers, then you will know what NOT to do during the test. This will increase your chances of passing the test!

Here is an overview of common mistakes made by student drivers during their road exam:

Operating the Vehicle

You DO NOT want to do the following:

• Not knowing where the hazard lights are located.
• Forgetting to turn on the correct signals.
• Not adjust the seat and mirrors before beginning.
• Not turning on the windshield wipers when you need to.

Failing to operate the vehicle properly will cost you a lot of points. Always practice doing these "small" things before taking the test.

Observing Surroundings

You don't want to be so focused on your own vehicle that you forget all about the others. You will not be on the road alone. Since you will be sharing it with other drivers, you must be aware of them at all times. Additionally, you should always be on the lookout for obstructions on the road and pedestrians. Keep your eyes moving while driving. Check the mirrors regularly. Anticipate the moves of other drivers before they make them.

Yielding and Stopping

It's essential that you know when to yield. You need to make sure that you are not in the way of oncoming traffic. If you are planning to turn left at an intersection, DO NOT forget to check for a green light or arrow! Know when you have the right away, and when you do not.

As for stopping, many people actual fail their driving exam because they don't stop completely at a red light or stop sign. You must come to a COMPLETE stop! Stop for at least four seconds.

Turning Properly

Here are a few mistakes you need to avoid making:

• DO NOT make a turn too tight, or you might end up hitting the curb.
• DO NOT make a turn too wide, either. If you are turning right, a wide turn can cause you to enter the wrong lane.
• DO NOT signal in the wrong direction!
• DO NOT go zigzagging around the lanes. Stay in the right one when you are preparing for a turn.

If you keep all of these tips in mind, you should minimize the amount of mistakes you make. You should be able to pass on the first try!

Of course, these tips are just the beginning. There is so much more you need to learn about driving if you want to pass the road exam with flying colors. An online driving course will offer you all of the information and resources you need.
