  1. Hi, i think that the best thing to do is to pretend your just taking a normal driving lesson. Dont let the constant jotting of notes put you offf.

    Stay focused on the road and things you should look out for (indicaters, mirrors etc..)

    Remeber the times you made mistakes whike driving and make sure you dont make them again.

    The key is confidence.

    Good luck!! xx


  2. just calm down and drive!

    remember everything you've learned.


  3. try RESCUE REMEDY SPRAY by Bach or drops it will calm your nerves    

    Take about 1 hour before your test

          Good luck

  4. deep breaths and try to stay calm.

    remember to physically move your head when you use your mirrors. The examiner cant see if you just move your eyes.

    Be aware of the other traffic.

    Good luck.

  5. hiya kez,   good luck for tomorrow.xx

  6. Make sure you COMPLETELY stop at all stop signs, even if nobody is coming. I found that out the hard way lol. Gotta go take my test again tommorow :(

  7. If at any point you think you've messed up, don't give in. Carry on and think "right it doesn't matter anymore but I'm going to do the rest of this perfectly so that when my mates ask what I failed on I can say it was ONLY this one stupid thing."

    I thought I'd failed mine quite early on and nearly lost motivation to try any more, but thinking what I've just written above made me keep going. It turned out the fault was borderline and because I didn't do it again was only given a minor for it. I passed.

    Good luck!

  8. Safe driving tips to help pass your road test:

    STEERING Steer smoothly whether you are driving straight ahead, turning or backing up.

    ACCELERATION Accelerate smoothly and moderately. Don't race the engine or cause it to stall.

    BRAKING Bring the vehicle to a stop gently. Start braking well before your stopping position to avoid "jerky" stops. Make sure you stop your vehicle in the proper position of the lane.

    CLUTCH/GEAR Always be sure your vehicle is in the correct gear. With either an automatic or a manual transmission, shift into the proper gear at the right time without "grinding" the gears.

    SPEED Obey the posted speed limit, of course, but also adjust your speed properly due to weather, road, visibility and traffic conditions.

    FOLLOWING DISTANCE Keep an adequate space "cushion" between your vehicle and those you are following. Use the "two second rule" described in the Driver's Manual. Be sure to increase your following distance in poor weather or visibility.

    TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES Know the meanings of signs, signals and pavement markings, and obey them consistently.

    STOPPING POSITION If a stop is required, stop your vehicle before it reaches an intersecting street. If stop lines or crosswalks are present, stop before crossing them. If your view is blocked after stopping behind the crosswalk, move up until you can clearly see your way, then stop again if necessary.

    LANE SELECTION AND POSITION Keep your vehicle in the proper traffic lane, especially when preparing to make turns. Don't allow room for another vehicle to pass you on the side that you are turning toward.

    COMMUNICATION Let other drivers and pedestrians know which way you want to go. Use your directional signals or horn consistently and at the proper times.

    OBSERVATION Look for and identify potential problems or hazards in the traffic around you - not just straight ahead, but behind you and on either side. Check your mirrors frequently, but be sure to look over your shoulder behind you when changing lanes or backing up.

    ANTICIPATE & REACT TO OTHERS Anticipate possible driving errors by others and be ready to react safely to make up for their mistakes.


  9. again children if you studied your book and paid attention to who ever was teaching you to drive you will be ok<

  10. a first-fail on 'nerves' is very common.  Something which is a lot worse, is a first-time passer who SUDDENLY is the king of the road, and who goes on to have a serious accident in the first few months of driving.  Some of my friends were in the latter group.  I failed first time, never had an accident yet in 25 years.

  11. Where I live if you don't shoulder check three times, you fail. Shoulder check every time you signal even if your pulling into a turning lane! It makes should checking a good habit. And after your done parallel parking, do you 360 check before you pull out and be prepared to tell the tester all the hazards you see (residential area, intersection, cant see pass which cars,school zone, etc...) If you mess up on your parallel park the first time, don't freak out, just pull out again and fix it. They won't fail you if you know how to fix it. They aren't interested in how fast you can go ( despite how fast the rest of traffic is going) - do 5 under the speed limit in case you lose focus and start going a bit faster, you likely won't go over and if you do go over, correct it immediately and they will recognize that you did correct yourself. If you have the chance go driving for an hour before hand to get rid of any jitters. Be calm, and take deep breaths - you'll do fine.
