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.
