How would you know whether you are ready for driving test or not?

Question

Even though, I have had loads of lessons i still feel I have not achieved any confidence...I have 70 lessons so far but i had a very bad instructor who shouted at me and she took of the confidence in me. I have failed my first dirving test now I need to give my theory test and driving test again. Also, I got new instructor now who knows all about the test and she is good enough in terms of teaching but I am not sure how to really be sure when there is a feeling that u can pass and that u are ready for ur driving test.

Answer 1

If you can do and understand the following then you are just not ready but you will pass.........

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.

Answer 2

I knew I was ready for my test as soon as :-

1) I could drive with no instruction from my instructor.

2) I could drive and hold small conversation with my instructor.

3) I could do all the turns in road, reversing round corners (even the nasty corners) with no mistakes, first time.

That probably sounds big headed *but* as soon as you can drive, I would say 'without thinking' but I hope you know what I mean!, then you are ready.

You'll still be nervous on test day, every one is but be calm, slow yourself down a notch and quickly think through what needs to be done before you do it rather than rush straight in.

Answer 3

Answer 5

Put a raw egg on the dashboard.  Drive in city traffic while eating a bag of french fries.  If you don't leave any crumbs, and the egg doesn't break, and you don't bend the car or get a ticket, you're ready.
