  1. sounds like you wern't ready.


  2. There is no standardized pre-start sequence to follow before you put your vehicle in gear...Each driver has their own idiosyncrasies...If I am the only driver of a vehicle, I don't re-adjust the mirrors or the seat every time I get in and if I share a vehicle or use a rental, then I make sure that everything is where I want them before I start...Always, always, always buckle the belt and use the mirrors...Know how to turn the headlights, heater, air conditioner and windshield wipers on without looking...Make sure the radio is preset for the channels you like and that you know how to change channels and frequencies without looking.

  3. Get your car ready. Make sure you have the car's registration, that all headlights and blinkers work and there are no cracks in the windshield. It also helps if the car is neat and clean inside.

    Make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment. Bring your completed and signed Drivers Ed certificate, driving time with an instructor certificate, and your learners permit. Also bring your social security card and birth certificate for identification purposes.

    Get in the car with the inspector.

    Relax. Adjust your seat, mirrors, seatbelts and steering wheel to help ensure the inspector that you know what you are doing. Ask any questions that you have prior to the test. The inspector will be glad to answer them.

    Stop at all stop signs. Use right blinker when you turn right or pull out of the parked position. Keep your eyes on the road, gazing to the right and left, and look in each mirror once in a while to see that no car is coming behind you.

    Parallel park as best as you can. Make sure you turn on your blinkers, as not doing so will likely ensure a failure. Try not to bump the curb, go slowly and carefully, looking to the back and sides as you do so. Remember, it's OK to slightly bump the curb, just not jump it. You will lose some points, but that's better than failing the test altogether!

    Watch out for the cones.

    If possible, try go to your local DMV before your actual test and follow the test takers to get a taste of what you will most likely get.

    Remember, you can never over-use your blinker
