Important Driving Exam Tips

Once again, it's the time of the week for some driving tips and advice.Use them wisely!


What, exactly, can you expect to be tested on during your driving exam? What will the examiner be watching for? What must you do in order to demonstrate your good driving abilities?

First of all, if you are feeling nervous - DON'T BE! Take a few deep breaths and try to calm down. As long as you read over your guidebook and online driving course material carefully, you can prepare yourself for your test.

Here are a few tips on what you can do on test day in order to increase your chances of passing.
  • Take a few moments to observe the area surrounding the test site before getting into the vehicle. Take note of where all of the parked cars are and how close they are to your test car. It's important to plan ahead of time.
  • Remember to do your pre-driving ritual before pulling out of the parking place. Put your seatbelt on securely and adjust the seat and mirrors if you need to. Look over to make sure that the person grading you has their seatbelt on. They might try to trick you.
  • The examiner will expect you to know when to yield to other vehicles, which lane to turn into, when to stop for a traffic light, and so forth. If you show any confusion or hesitation, they will notice. You will lose points for it, if not outright fail.
  • You're going to have to perform certain maneuvers smoothly and correctly if you want to pass: shifting gears properly at the right times, acceleration at the appropriate times, pulling out of a parking place slowly and carefully, pulling into a parking place slowly and carefully, etc.
  • Speaking of parking, this is the one area where many people have trouble. A skilled driver will be expected to ease into any type of parking space without hitting another vehicle or curb. You must also pull out carefully. Before the day of the test, get plenty of parking practice.
  • Demonstrate to the examiner that you have good steering and braking capabilities. Always keep your hands on the wheel at the appropriate positions without gripping too tightly. Avoid making jerking movements.
  • You may or may not be asked to demonstrate hand signals. Even if your signal lights are in working order, you should still learn hand signals just in case you are asked to use one during the test.

There are many other things you must do, but these will give you some idea of what to expect. Just remember that the examiner is only doing their job and that you shouldn't be intimidated in any way. As long as you study hard and prepare, you should do fine.
