  1. Don't sweat it, the driving test is easy. When I took mine about a year ago, they let you touch the curb, as long as you don't go over it. So use this to your advantage, especially with the parallel parking. They also give you 3 minutes to "wiggle" around in the spot once you go into it with the P-parking, so use the curb without going over it, and don't hit the cones and you will be fine.

    With the 3-point turn, same deal. You can touch the curb, so use this. Be sure to stop at all the stop signs for at least 4-5 seconds, look both ways a couple times, and use turn signals for everything.

    And if something does happen and you fail the first time, no worries. You can try again the next day. Just ask the test person what you did wrong, and fix it the next day.

    Just don't worry about it, trust me. It is a piece of cake if you stay focused.


  2. 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.
