Road Signs - Signs for Passing the Test

After yesterday's guest article, it's time for the home team to say its word. And today, my article about road signs that are being ignored during the driving test.

Ignoring Road Signs - A Driving Test Disaster

Road signs regulate traffic flow on the road. They tell drivers how fast to drive, where to turn, when to turn, and when not to turn. Reading and understanding them is very important for fitting in traffic and being a good driver. Driving students must know all traffic signs in order to pass their driving test successfully. However, some of them don't know all necessary signs, which causes them to make mistakes.

The most common ignored road sign is of course the speed limit sign. Many driving students just pass them without notice. The new speed limit can be either higher or lower than the previous speed limit, but it is still different. If the student's speed deviates too much from the speed limit, the test will end, unsuccessfully.

No entry signs are also a source for trouble. Examiners will never try to trick their examinees by telling them to turn to a one way street from the wrong way. However, if the student notices that at the end of the street there is a no entry sign, he should prepare to turn. Making a turn on the last moment or entering against a no entry sign can lead to a test failure.

Stop signs are also widely ignored among student drivers. Some are even brutally ignored and the student doesn't even slow down before them. Most of the times the driving student will notice the stop sign, but not make a complete stop. This is clearly a critical error and clearly a test failure.

Yield signs are also victims of ignorant driving students. Although yield signs don't force drivers to stop, they do require them to check the area before driving. Some driving students don't notice yield signs and take the right of way from cars in a dangerous way. Doing so can result in an accident and not getting a license.

Road signs need to be practiced. They are a part of the permit test, but it's often not enough for practical driving. Every driving student should get a guide that explains how to deal with certain road signs during driving. A guide like this is especially important for the test.

Turning Mistakes on the Driving Test

Turning is crucial in the driving test. Read here some mistakes done by student drivers on their driving test when they turn:

Pass Your DMV Driving Test - Make Good Turns

When you drive, it seems like there is nothing easier than turning: you signal, turn the wheel, and keep going. All drivers, experienced and new, make mistakes when they turn. However, new drivers, especially on their driving test, tend to make more mistakes which often cost them the entire test.

One mistake everyone makes when practicing driving is tight turns. On right turns, students sometimes don't estimate well their distance from the curb and hit it. In most places, hitting a curb on the driving test is a critical error and a failure. On left turns, turning too tightly will make the driver enter a wrong lane, sometime with oncoming traffic. When it happens on the driving test, you can probably call the rest of the test "garbage time".

Another problem drivers have with turning is the opposite of the above problem: wide turns. This is another serious one, since it makes driving students enter wrong lanes and possibly cause an accident. On right turns, a wide turn can get you into the second lane from the right which is often the lane of oncoming traffic. On left turns, this can mean a meeting of your car and the curb. Needless to say, this is not a wanted situation.

Two turning lanes are another failing factor for many examinees. They are used to moving to the leftmost or rightmost lane, and they forget how to behave with two turning lanes. The result is often an unpleasant mark on the score sheet.

Pedestrians are major test killers in almost every part of driving, and turns are no exceptions. Some students are so focused on making the turn well that they forget to check for pedestrians and often get "stuck" inside the intersection, block it, violate the law, and fail their test miserably.

Turns can be done perfectly if practiced well. All you need is an understanding instructor sitting near you on the passenger seat and a good guide showing you how to make the perfect turns.
