Question

I HAVE MY DRIVING TEST FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A WEEK!I AM USUALLY A REALLY GOOD DRIVER BUT ON TEST DAY I AM A COMPLETE MESS I AM SURPRISED I REMEMBER MY OWN NAME CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST SOMETHING I CAN TAKE TO SERIOUSLY HELP MY NERVES, I TRY SO HARD I FORGET THE BASIC THINGS MY LEG SHAKES ON THE CLUTCH AND I FEEL LIKE I GET TUNNEL VISION!!! HELP

Answer 1

Pretend the tester is your mom or something. That's what I did.

Answer 2

calm down?

Answer 3

the one thing you need to do is chill.  when i took my driving test my instructer let me turn on the radio.  then i was in my zone.  you forget the instructor is even there.  if they dont let you turn on your radio then just sing in your head.

Answer 4

You said that your legs shake on the clutch. I would suggest driving an automatic instead. Beleive me it helps. I was in your shoes once.

Answer 5

Try some Bach Rescue remedy - a couple of drops under your tongue should make you feel more relaxed.  Good luck!

Answer 6

just relax pay attention to the road not the person in the car with you

Answer 7

Drink a beer before the test this time.

Answer 8

Reschedule at a later date.3 times in one week doesnt give you any time to relax and re center yourself.    Pretend you are sick today with a high fever and are unable to go take the test. You couldnt go and would have to do it in later weeks. That is my best advice since the next time you have to be in complete control and more relaxed. So call and cancel right now,ok?

Answer 9

Get some more practice, eat a good breakfast and relax.

Answer 10

eat a little bit of chocolate before hand

Answer 11

what is you number call me when you get on the road so i can get off!!!

no jk keep at it it comes natural.. good luck

Answer 12

Bach's rescue remedy - couple of squirts

Try thinking what your having for dinner or your shopping list

Try some meditation and breath exercises.

Relax you'll be fine.  You can drive.  Believe in yourself.

Good Luck!! lets know how you get on.

Answer 13

Visualize yourself doing well and in a relaxed atmoshere...make sure that people who stress you out aren't present and just do it. top overthinking it, it will stress you out more. Just say to yourself that this is something that will soon pass and you must get through it and get it over with.

Also, if it makes you feel better, watch the movie Clueless again and watch Cher almost hit a biker because of her clogs....you can't be that bad:)

Answer 14

Well, im not really sure if i can be a big help, cause im 15.  I've driven a bunch, and the first couple minutes, i get really nervous.  but what usually works for me, is i just take deep breaths.  Calm myself down, and then i actually end up driving really smoothly.

Answer 15

Just be your self. Everyone gets nervous. You've done it before and u know watz up. Just RELAAAAAAAXXXX!!!!!!!!

I know your adrenaline will start going off. Your palms would start sweating and your heart start beating but chill out.  When u are on the clutch don't worry about your feet. When u memorize the pedals you'll have eyes on your feet and know brakes from the gas. Just shift normally and you will get use to it. After your use to it you'll feel calmer.

Answer 16

18yr Glenlivet Scotch on the rocks prior to the test

Answer 17

if this is r third test get a road or track bike its much cheaper and its the most efficient way of transpiration in calories per mile. driving is probably not for u its really dangerous. have u ever seen faces of death i saw that in school when i was high it was a great movie, freaky as f*****k.

Answer 18

Calm down. Working yourself up into a frenzy will oly make things worse, and you will flunk. You done the drills and know your stuff, now, just have a little faith in yourself, and you'll be fine.Take this advice and you will pass it.

Answer 19

Turn the radio on, music always calms me down when driving, or act like your instructor isn't there, and act like what he/she is telling you, you just hear it in your head. Try not to make eye contact with them. I hope these tips work, Good Luck

Answer 20

HOLY **** !!!! you haven't passed it after the first time thats crazy i took it nervous as h**l and he said that i messed up a little but most  of it was me not letting him finish talking before i do something (cause he like took these long hard pauses before he said the rest ) but i mean i pretty much figured out what he was gunna tell me but i passed the first time ...but ne ways wish i could help all i can say is GOOD LUCK and just keep calm if i can do it (and i sucked at driving and was nervous and had butterflies in my stomache) then YOU CAN DO IT !!!!
