Green Lights: Not Always a Go

What do you do when you see a green light? Rush to the intersection? Start going without checking other traffic? Hope that no one will run a red light? Well, green light doesn't always mean "go", and you should be prepared for that. Here is an article of mine about this issue:

Green Light - The Silent DMV Driving Test Killer


Green lights are the dream of every driver. The ability to just go through intersections without waiting for a red light to change fills drivers with joy. During a driving test, student drivers also prefer to have green lights all the way. This way they don't have to handle red lights and have the risk of making a mistake on it. However, green lights also have their problems and cause drivers to make mistakes. A driving test is the last place a driver would like to make those mistakes.

One mistake is related to lack of attention. Most driving students will go through an intersection when they see a green light. Almost all of them will not check for cross traffic or for possible red light runners. Staring on the road ahead and not checking for other traffic is not illegal, but it is dangerous. The examiner might mark a minor error for that, and many minors can combine to a failure.

Stopping unnecessarily on green lights is a serious mistake and a potential accident. A green light means "go", and if nothing prevents it, drivers should go. Some driving students stop unnecessarily on green lights, especially on right turns. They are not proficient enough in speed control, which makes them slow down to a speed of zero. This can also be a minor error, or a critical error if there is an accident because of it.

However, not all green lights mean "go". When driving through heavy traffic, drivers often forget that blocking intersections is illegal. Some drivers, especially driving students, take the green light as a sign to go ahead without paying attention to road conditions. Blocking an intersection is illegal and can end up in a test failure.

Traffic lights on some places give a green light to both directions of the road at the same time. This means that left turners have to enter the intersection, wait for oncoming traffic to clear, and then complete their turn. A green arrow on these cases gives drivers a "safe" turn. However, some student drivers are so nervous about these situations that they forget the meaning of a green arrow light and stop at the middle of the intersection. This calls the examiner to mark an unnecessary stop, which is a minor error.

All these green light errors can be solved easily. A guide that shows drivers the proper way to behave in intersections with traffic lights will help any driving student pass the driving test the first time. It's one of the best solutions for this type of driving mistakes.

Have a safe Tuesday.

Pass the Written Driving Test

Before taking the practical test, most states and countries require a written test. Usually I don't put that much emphasis on the written test, but it is still a vital part of the driving process (although it can be quite annoying).

Personally, I practiced the written test on the final day of driving school. They made us take 14 practice tests, almost identical to each other. There were times I could tell the question from the answers. The result: I got 100% score on my actual DMV test (seriously).

But since it's not really my field, I'm going to let a guest, Penny Rials, give some tips for written test takers:

Ways To Pass the Driving Test

Passing the written driving test is the first step to overcome before getting your driver's license. You may spend weeks or months trying to study your DMV handbook. Some people don't like to read or don't retain the information that they read. The DMV handbook is really boring and it's harder for some people to remember or retain all the rules of the road.

When it's time for you to take your written driver's test there are several ways to prepare. Today, generations learn from watching videos. A great place to go to watch videos on driving is youtube.com. Now, they also offer online study courses for driving. The best way I have found to pass the written driving test is from memorization. Taking a practice test with questions and answers, such as when making a turn, a driver should signal__ feet before turning. After selecting the right answer 100 feet, it stays in your memory. Remember, the written DMV test is aimed at knowledge of basic traffic rules and laws.

When taking your DMV written test it is very important to focus and concentrate on the driving test itself. This means if you have any personal or emotional problems wait and reschedule your test. This is an important day so leave any distractions at home.

Don't forget to have a positive attitude. A person with a positive attitude are more likely to pass than a pessimistic person.

Taking your written driving test can be very nerve racking. Even before you start taking your driver's test you may feel your heart racing. This is a very normal reaction. Nerves usually subside after the test has begin. Remember, relax and do your best.
