Learning to Drive? Check Out These Guidelines for Preparing for a Road Test

Student drivers always want to know what they need to practice on in order to pass the driving test. This is one of the biggest and most important tests you will ever take, so it's important that you prepare properly ahead of time. Not only do you need to practice driving, you also need to make sure that your vehicle will pass inspection. It needs to be in good working condition so that you can drive it during the exam. Here are some ways you can prepare yourself (and your vehicle) for the driving exam.

Make Sure it Passes Inspection

Many student drivers tend to overlook this part of the test. If the vehicle doesn't pass the initial inspection, you won't be able to drive it anyway. Make sure everything works properly, and that the windows are clean. Have it inspected before you ever start to drive.

Practice Parking

You'll have to prove your ability to park your car in a parallel parking spot AND in a standard parking space. Both parking techniques will take a lot of practice - especially the former. You can practice parking with the use of boxes or something similar. An online driving course will show you, step-by-step, how to do both

Practice Slowing Down

Don't wait too long to brake when you slow down. Waiting too long to do so will wear the brakes out. You need to know when to start braking so that you can gently bring the car to a stop. Also, always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you just in case it comes to a sudden stop.

Practice Stopping

Stopping is one of the most common reasons for failing driving tests. Many drivers actually think they have stopped for a red light or stop sign when they are still moving a bit. You must come to a COMPLETE stop at any stop sign or red light. A yellow light doesn't necessarily mean to "proceed slowly". It means to slow down to prepare for a stop. To make sure you are stopping completely, press down a little bit harder on the brake and count to five before releasing the brakes.

Practice Signaling

Part of driving safely is to let other drivers know what you are about to do. Always know which turn signal to use when you are turning a corner or switching lanes. You will also need to signal when you are pulling out of a parking place.

If you keep these guidelines in mind, you should be able to prepare for your driver's test. Good luck!

If you know what the examiner will be testing you on, you will be able to practice better. You can find a checklist of things you will be tested on if you check out an online driving course. A basic driving handbook isn't enough these days. You need to check out online driving guides as well.
