  1. Parallel Parking: Park midway between two standards so that your car is not more than 18 inches from the curb.

    Quick Stops: Drive at a speed of 20 miles per hour and make a quick, safe stop when the examiner instructs you.

    Backing: Back your car for a distance of about 50 feet, at a slow rate of speed, and as straight and as smoothly as possible. Turn your head and look back at all times while backing.

    Stopping for Signs or Traffic Signals: Give the proper hand or brake signal; approach in the proper lane; stop before reaching a pedestrian crosswalk; and remain stopped until you may move safely through.

    Turnabout: Turn your car in a narrow space using two-, three- or five- point turns.

    Use of Clutch: If your car has a standard transmission, you must shift smoothly and correctly.

    Approaching Corners: You must be in proper lane and look in both directions.

    Yielding Right-of-Way: Always yield right-of-way to pedestrians, motor vehicles, bicyclists or anyone else who moves into the intersection before you.

    Turning: Get into the proper lane and give signal an adequate distance before reaching the turn.

    Passing: Always look ahead and behind to make sure you can safely pass without interfering with other traffic.

    Following: Do not drive too closely behind other cars. Watch the car ahead of you; when it passes some reference point, such as a telephone pole, then count "one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two." If you pass the same spot before you are through counting, you are following too closely.

    Posture: Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not rest your elbow on the window and do not attempt to carry on a conversation with the Examiner because they will be busy giving instructions and recording your score.

    At the end of the test, the license examiner will gladly show you your score sheet and will provide you ample opportunity to discuss the test if you so desire. The applicant must achieve a minimum score of 75% to pass.


  2. You can expect to be treated with respect, fairness, and courtesy during the entire examination process.

    Many people take their driving test when they are not sufficiently prepared, or haven’t practiced enough, or haven’t practiced the right way. Others get very nervous because they don’t know what to expect. Remember, your road test examiner will ride with you only to make sure that you can drive safely and obey traffic laws. In other words, the examiner does not want to fail you.

    Now, make sure the vehicle you are going to drive for the test is up to par to your state's requirements. Also, make sure you have enough money to pay any fees you are required to pay. Bring proof to verify that your vehicle is properly insured.

    Here are some tips.

    Your examiner will note the following:

    1. How you start your vehicle

    2. Control of Vehicle

    3. Driving in traffic

    4. Merging

    5. Obey traffic signs

    6. Steering

    7. Stopping

    8. Backing

    9. Speed control

    10. Distance judging

    11. Courtesy

    12. Hill Parking

    13. Three Point Turn

    (Some of the previous items may be omitted in your state)

    [Now, if you lived in the state of Georgia, then you would will be expected to do all or part of the following:

    The following is taken from the Georgia Drivers Manual (pages 21 and 22):

    1. Parallel Parking: Park midway between two standards so that your car is not more than 18 inches from the curb. The standard parallel parking dimensions utilized in the driver's license test are 22' X 10'.

    2. Quick Stops: Drive at a speed of 20 miles per hour and make a quick, safe stop when the examiner instructs you.

    3. Backing: Back your car for a distance of approximately 50 feet at a slow rate of speed as straight and as smoothly as possible. You must turn your head and look behind the vehicle at all times while backing.

    4. Stopping for Signs or Traffic Signals: Give the proper hand or brake signal; approach in the proper lane; stop before reaching a pedestrian crosswalk; and remain stopped until you may move through safely.

    5. Turning Around: Turn your car in a narrow space.

    6. Use of Clutch: If your car has a manual transmission, you must shift smoothly and correctly.

    7. Approaching Corners: You must be in the proper lane and look in both directions.

    8. Yielding Right-of-Way: Always yield right-of-way to pedestrians, vehicle operators, and bicyclists who move into the intersection before you.

    9. Turning: Move into the proper lane and signal an adequate distance before the turn.

    10. Passing: Always check in front of and behind your vehicle to make sure you can safely pass without interfering with other traffic.

    11. Following: Do not follow other cars too closely. Watch the car ahead of you; when it passes some reference point, such as a telephone pole, count “one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two.” If you pass the same spot before you are through counting, you are following too closely.

    12. Posture: Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not rest your elbow on the window and do not attempt to carry on a conversation with the Examiner because he/she will be busy giving instructions and recording your score.

    At the end of the test, the license examiner will gladly show you your score sheet and will provide you an opportunity to discuss the results if you wish to do so. The applicant

    must achieve a minimum score of 75% to pass.]

    Best of luck to you.

  3. It might be differnt because of states, but in michigan i had to park, be able to stop my vehicle before a certain marker and parrel park.once you do that they have you drive around and stuff it wasnt hard but just the silence and the instructor contantly writting things down made me nervous but he said its not necisary something i was doing wrong.Just make sure you physically move your head when crossing a rail road  and when you make a right turn on a main road stay in the closer lane then shift over ,which made me agrivated because i went into the second lane because there was a stoped bus in the first and he said i wasnt sopost to do that.But these were a couple things i was being "corrected on " should be fine  and here if you fail the first 4 things like parking and parrel parking ect than you dont go for a road test.
