More Much Needed Advice

It's Friday, and a special one: Friday the 13th. However, I'm not going to scare you, but rather help you with some driving test advice.


If you are studying and working on getting your driver's license, you need to learn how to stay calm. The worst thing you can do is to allow the nervousness and stress to get the best of you. It's okay to be a little nervous, but you need to learn how to control your nerves if you want to be a good driver.

Strive to maintain a positive mindset. If any relative or friend isn't giving you their full support, try to limit contact with that person. It'll be easier for you to feel confidence in yourself if the people surrounding you give you support.

You will also feel less nervous as you get comfortable in the driver's seat. The only way this is going to happen is if you get out there and practice. Essentially, you need to drive if you want to feel more comfortable driving. The more you practice, the better you'll become.

Of course, it helps to have a good teacher. Whether they're a relative or a professional instructor, they should be very observant. They should point out your mistakes to you in a calm manner. Never practice with anyone who has a tendency to get nervous easily.

You can reduce your anxiety overall by not reading any horror stories about people failing. If a friend insists on telling you about how they failed, try to turn their story into a learning experience for you. Think about what they did to fail and DO NOT make the same mistake yourself.

It also might be a good idea not to tell anyone when you plan on taking the driver's test. Don't tell anyone the exact date and you won't feel as much pressure to pass. Speaking of the test date, try to schedule it at a time when you won't have to face any other stressful events such as tests at school, prom, trip, or wedding.

Take some written material with you whenever you go out for a practice drive. You might also want to save some online driving guides to your phone or tablet. That way, you'll always have something to look at if you ever have problems driving.

The day before the test, go out and practice on the streets and roads near the test site one last time. Practice pulling in and out of the parking lot at the DMV. Make sure you know all of the signs like the back of your hand.

On the day of the test, try to stay calm and remind yourself that everything will be okay. Even if you don't pass, you can always try again.

Are you looking for driving guidebooks? You'll find some great ones online. The internet has all of the resources you need for getting your driver's license. These guides will help you every step of the way, from the written test to the road exam.

I hope you'll find this advice useful.
