Taking my road test today, wondering how your experiences were and if you could give any tips how to make it any smoother.

just take it easy. dont stress. believe you did everything you could poss. do for the test to succeed.

 

thats all. now just go what you learned and go for it!

Don't be nervous and RELAX. that was my biggest problem. just start a conversation with your instructor and you'll forget your driving

 

btw if you ever do make a mistake, don't stress about it and laugh it off. Don't expect your test to be over or it will be over. Positive thinking will ed up with positive results

practice practice practice

Not sure where your from man, so it all differs im sure.

 

My suggestion would be, drive like your still a noob, meticulous but correctly, if you act to comfortable like driving by yourself they notice it

 

and say hi and bye to your instructor, but focus more on driving an taking direction, those a-holes usually don't like to speak much anyways

The first time that I went I had no idea what to expect, and I wasn't taught 100% properly about what might be on the test either. I failed my first test, the instructor laid on the pressure hard to.... The second time I knew what was coming (because they make you do the whole test) so I took it at another location to avoid getting the same instructor. Previous errors had made me much more relaxed, and down the road I started a conversation by asking the guy if he's into cars. Passed the second time he even told me he knows I can drive.

 

I can tell you always to shoulder check, and at any stop sign even if you can't see stop at the line completely then move forward. Watch for signs, there are alot of signs out there, slow down coming to intersections not speed up. Always use your signal and shoulder check EVERY time. 

 

that's what I learned lol

Know your hand signs, 3 point turn, parallel parking, stop at red light, seat belt before turning on car.

Thank you everyone, leaving now and will take your tips into my test. Will keep you posted on the turnout of the test!

I ended up failing because of a few reasons. After I failed one thing I started to panic. I like how I had mastered my parallel park and 3-point turn, although some a-hole sped by and almost got into an accident with me. The instructor said I was a good driver, I just need to be more aware. I got this next time

Should have let them hit you!

When I took it, the guy told me to put the keys in just enough so I can turn on the accessories. I didn't hear him say that, asked if I could turn the car on. He just stood there and stared at me. I was like, alright, and turned the car on. He was like "Nonono you have to listen. Don't turn the car on" i was like, Alright. Next, we got in the car, he asked if he could turn on the AC, and I just stared at him. He turns it on, and I say that was too much and turned it down to the minimum setting. Needless to say, i failed due to him taking a lot of points off for BS reasons ;)

In america, the road test is just to see if you can memorize a few steps. It's a terribly inaccurate test of road worthyness.

DONT HIT THE CONE LIKE I DID BRUUUHTHAAAA

Road test, a test where one drives on the 'road' lol.

 

It's all good you failed bro, the first time I took it and it failed but it just opened up my eyes to expect a certain amount of pressure next time, and had a better idea what I was doing. You'll ace it second time. Paying attention is the most important though.
