Pass the Test With Ease

The first and final thing all new drivers want is to pass the driving test. If it's done easily, it's even better. Here is an article by Lucy Penn that explains how to do it pretty well.

How to Pass Your Driving Test With Ease

The majority of people fail their driving test on the first time taking it. A lot of the time it's down to your nerves as driving tests can be very daunting. Below is a list of ten top tips on passing your driving test:

1) Obviously you need to stay calm. This may be easier said than done though - nerves are sometimes uncontrollable. If you show your nerves too badly and it affects your driving you will make the test instructor feel unsafe - this won't bode well for your chances of passing!
2) Needless to say, checking your mirrors is vital during your test. You need to clearly show your instructor that you are checking your blind spot and keeping an eye on what is going on around you during your test. Whatever you do...DON'T pull out without checking your mirrors - you will fail immediately.
3) Check you mirrors some more...seriously you need to exaggerate this. Turn your neck so your instructor can clearly see you checking your blind spot. But, obviously do spend too long looking - you need to concentrate on the road as well. You should also glance in your rear-view mirror every time you break - the test instructor needs to see that you're aware of the traffic behind you. Someone may be really close behind you - if you suddenly break they will go straight into the back of you.
4) Make the instructor feels at ease - again, this point really relates back to not showing your nerves. If the test instructor feels unsafe they won't pass you.
5) Always check your blind spot when pulling out.
6) If you make a mistake when reverse parking remember, you have a chance to correct it. If you reverse back and realise that you are at a slight angle then you will have one chance to correct it. Simply put your handbrake on, pull back out - straighten up and carefully reverse back in.
7) Speed - obviously you need to adhere to the speed limit by not going too fast, but driving too slowly can be just as dangerous. Keep to the speed limit.
8) Always get in the right lane at roundabouts. If however you do get in the wrong lane, don't panic - and don't cut anyone up. So, if you have been told to take the first exit and you accidentally go in the right hand lane - don't cut people up to take that exit, go all the way around and apologise to the instructor - at least you will show that you're following the rules of the road.
9) Make sure you don't roll back on a hill. This is often a place where many learners slip up. Rolling backwards on a hill can be dangerous for many reasons. So, always ensure that you have the biting point before you drive away.
10) Learn the road signs! Obviously the last thing you want to do on your test is drive down a one-way street because you don't know what the sign means.

Follow these simple tips and you will soon have to think about finding a car for a new driver.
