My road test


Question Posted Friday September 5 2008, 7:24 pm

I am taking my road test in a few days, and I want to know how I can prepare myself to not be so nervous on the road.

I have driven my required 50 hours with my parents, and I feel very confident, but I just want to make sure that I don't get nervous, because I get nervous about everything.

Any long-time drivers out there who have some advice on how to remain relaxed and calm at the wheel, but still very alert?

Thank you!

On the day of your test, show up about 45 minutes early and just drive around the area near the DMV. Chances are you'll be driving those streets or similar streets for your test. This definitely helped me pass my test.


Good luck!

Well i took my road test two years ago and something everyone told me (including drivers ed teachers) was to make sure that you look in your mirrors before making a lane change, turn, or stop and make sure they see you checking the mirrors. They asked me two questions during my test and my friends were asked the same questions. They ask if you have to run into something, would you run into something like a tree or bush and say you'd run into something soft like a bush. Then he asked what i would do when crossing a railroad, which is kind of a stupid questions, but i said i would just be very careful and pay attention to all the signs, etc. Another thing, be careful about no turn on reds and stuff like that. My friend automatically failed for turning right on red when there was a "no turn on red" sign. Other than that, just be careful and don't speed, etc. Good luck!

You just gotta think of it like you're still driving with your parents. Just try not to look right at the tester and pretend its your parents. that's what I did. Oh and remember to exaggerate when you look across intersections, the testers look for that.
