I'm gettin my license in 2 weeks and I am so scared! I'm not a bad driver I just don't know what they are going to have me do. Has anyone tested for their license in North Carolina? If so what do you have to do for the driving test and is there a written test? Also do you drive your own car or is one provided for you?

At least, that's what I've heard. I haven't gotten my license yet, I get my temps in two weeks :) but my brother just got his. The acutal driving test is hard. My brother failed the first time, and for my cousin, it took him three times. There's cones set up that you have to drive through. There's two cones, a car apart. Then, a little behind them, there are two other cones. Then, behind them, one cone in the middle, kind of like this [hopefully it shows up right]:
x
x x
x x
Then, the person will tell you left or right. You have to turn whichever way, then reverse it back. My brother failed because when he took classes, the teacher told them they could go either way [why he didn't listen to the instructer in the car I'll never know, hah]. If you hit a cone, you lose points. If you knock one over, you fail and have to wait a week to take it again. I'm pretty sure how that works, it's what I've heard. For Ohio, at least. It could be different for different states.
They can provide you a car, or you can bring your own. If they provide one for you, they'll charge you. I recommend borrowing from someone who has the smallest car, so its harder to hit the cones.
Good luck!
Haha, okay so it didn't turn out right. The one where there's just one x, should be in the middle. And, the rest are spread out further. :) [ advicer's advice column | Ask advicer A Question ]

But once you start driving just STAY CALM and think about every single thing before you do it. Go slow, follow directions perfectly, and always do everything as safely as you can. Double check every move before you make it. And of course practice!
Once the test starts you'll calm down and realize its no different then having your mom in the car next to you. Just dont freak yourself out! [ Marie34's advice column | Ask Marie34 A Question ]
