Practice and Preparation Steps

If you're currently in the process of learning for your driving test, here is an article I wrote that will help you practice and prepare.

  
You've passed your written driving test. Now it's time to prepare for the actual road exam. You're probably feeling nervous - especially if you've never been behind the wheel before. Passing a written test doesn't mean you're prepared for the road test. You need to get out there on the road and practice.

If you've passed the written test then you should already be acquainted with the basics.

Here is an overview of everything you need to know in order to practice driving.
 
Step #1

First, you need to familiarize yourself with the pre-driving ritual. These small details are very important. If you don't remember to do every single thing, you could fail your test.

Start out by adjust the seat so that you are comfortable. It should be easy for you to reach the brake and gas pedals. Next, you need to fasten your seatbelt and adjust the mirrors. Look over your shoulder to see if there is anybody or anything in your blind spot. 

Step #2

Next, you need to know how to pull out and begin. your hands should be kept at 10 and 2 on the wheel. Always remember to signal properly and to use the mirrors correctly when changing lanes and pulling into traffic.

Know when and where to stop. When you come to a STOP sign, always stop completely for a few seconds, even if the road looks clear. You'll lose points on your exam if you don't stop completely. At the start of your practice, stick to light traffic areas and empty parking lots.
 
Step #3

You need to learn how to park. This includes parallel parking, which many people have trouble with. Parallel parking becomes easier with practice. You can set up boxes or cones in an empty area and practice parking in between them. Once you get the hang of it, you can practice parking in between actual cars.
 
Step #4

Develop good driving habits. While you practice, check your mirror regularly. Before you make a turn, make it a habit to look all around you before, from left to right, and then left again.

Learn defensive driving. Always assume that other drivers are going to make a serious error and prepare yourself for it. However, you don't want to become too distracted by them that you lose focus on what you're doing yourself.
 
Step #5

On the day of the test, make sure that the car is clean on the inside and out. Eat a big breakfast. Try to stay in a positive mood. Make sure you have all of the important papers, including proof of insurance for the vehicle you will be using for the test. Leave the house in plenty of time before the test. You should arrange to arrive early just in case you forgot something or need to do something.

Use these steps a guide to help you prepare for your driving test. You should do all right as long as you study and practice everyday. If you don't pass, it's not the end of the world. Learn from your mistakes and work harder next time.
