If You Want to Pass, Start Practicing Now

Passing a driving test is about knowledge and practice, practice, practice. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.


In order to drive legally in this country, you need to pass your driving test. If you want to get out there and explore, you need to go through the test and pass.

Before you take your test, you'll need to practice whenever you can in a relatively empty area. A good, professional adult should be with you to make sure you're doing everything correctly.

One of the first things you need to do is familiarize yourself with the signals, hand gestures, street signs, and the speed limits. Never try driving until you're familiar with the interior and exterior of the car.

As mentioned above, you need to begin in an empty area. When you first start out, you need to get a feel of the wheel. Practice holding it correctly. You need to hold it firmly, but not tightly. Your left hand should be at 10 o'clock and your right hand should be at 2 o'clock. DO NOT get in the habit of staring at your hands on the wheel. Your eyes should always be scanning the area surrounding you, from the left to the right. Check your rearview mirrors in between.

Get in the habit of checking your mirrors frequently - even more than normal, just so you'll get used to it. You should keep an eye on all of the vehicles around you. Anticipate other drivers' mistakes so that you'll be able to make a smart move in the event that they make them.

If you have driving anxiety, you don't have to practice on a road just yet. You can practice in an empty parking lot for the time being. You can also look for old roads with little to no traffic in your area. Wait until you're confident enough that you can stay on your side of the road when before you venture out onto more crowded roads.

About a week before you're scheduled to take the test, print out some maps of the testing area and begin practicing on the streets you will be tested on. Familiarize yourself with the streets, the signs, and turns.

On the day of your test, make sure the car is ready. Everything should be clean and presentable. The indicators and headlights should be in working order. Bring all of the important papers such as your social security card, learner's permit, and proof of insurance to the DMV with you. Try to arrive at least 15 minutes early so that you won't feel rushed.

As long as you study and take your time learning, you should become a confident driver. Don't force yourself to learn everything at once, or you'll only become confused and frustrated.

One of the smartest things you can do is check out an online driving course. There are online driving guides filled with all of the information you need to help you get through the test. They are well put together. You will find practicing to be a lot easier with the use of these driving resources.

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.
