Driver's license test?

Question

during the driving part of getting my license, am I allowed to turn around to check blind spots, when changing lanes and when paralell parking? Can you also use one hand while parking?

Answer 1

During your drivers test, i bet if you don't turn to check your blind spots when changing lanes and parallel parking, you will get points off - - - as there really is no other way to check those 'blind spots' (hence why they're called blind spots).  

You will also - most likely (of course your state's laws may vary), get points off if you only use one hand while parking!

So, to be on the safe side, you have a couple options:

1) call your dept of motor vehicle / dept of public safety or

     whichever agency does the testing, and ask them your

     specific questions - they'll be glad you asked ahead of

     time, and it shows responsibility!

2) check your state's motor vehicle drivers manual

3) ask your 'proctor' (the person who rides with you when

     you test)

4) check your blind spots by glancing over your shoulder

5) use TWO hands, and the appropriate method (usually hand

     over hand steering) when parallel parking, and driving in

     general for your test :-).

Good luck, make sure you come to COMPLETE stops, have confidence, and you'll be fine, always remember though, SAFETY first and foremost :-)!
