Answer 1

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

Before you take your test, have your teacher/instructor take you to the Wantagh office and then follow a road test in progress...See where it goes, what maneuvers are performed...This way, when you take your test, you'll have an idea of what to expect.

Step 1. Relax - you know how to drive; you know what the rules are...Just follow the rules and pay attention to the conditions that you're driving under.

Step 2. An automatic failure is any traffic law violation...A biggie is 'failure to yield' - like to pedestrians and emergency vehicles...Not stopping for a school bus flashing its lights.

Parallel parking should not be an automatic failure - points deducted, yes, but automatic failure, no.

Be smooth in acceleration and braking...Give yourself plenty of room to do both.

Get in the correct lane when the examiner tells you to make a turn - even if it means waiting in traffic.

Remember - the examiner will not trick you or tell you to do anything illegal...Just keep your eyes moving - front, sides, mirrors, instruments...Don't look at the examiner or speak unless you have a question and to say 'yes sir' and yes, ma'am...If you drove the road course in advance, there shouldn't be any questions.

Take your time, relax and all the best...You can do this - P.O.C.
