What are the most important things to do when I take my DMV driving test?

Question

besides putting on seat belt and adjusting mirrors

and do i have to put my hand on the passenger seat when reversing

Answer 1

Drive like an 80 year old paranoid lady.   Testers love that.  The only reason to put your hand up is to be able to extend your field of vision by twisting your spine.

Answer 2

I think you know what to do, what the book describes.  Now the best thing you could do is have a good attitude.  If he/says you didn't do that correctly, ask them what the right way to do it.  Attitude.

Answer 3

Step 1:

Bring a vehicle for the driving test. The vehicle must have proof of liability insurance, have a valid inspection certificate and pass inspection by the examiner before the driving test is given.

Step 2:

Follow the examiner's instructions. The examiner will not try to trick you by asking you to do anything that is against the law.

Step 3:

Control your vehicle safely and as directed by the examiner. You must understand and follow all traffic signs, be able to come to a quick stop without skidding the tires, parallel park and back the vehicle safely approximately 50 feet.

Step 4:

Observe the other traffic and other conditions around you that might cause problems while you are driving. The examiner needs to see you looking in your mirrors often, watching for other drivers.

Step 5:

Demonstrate the ability to stay in your lane of traffic. When approaching intersections, slow down and look both ways even if you do not have to stop. Passing and changing lanes are allowed if you can perform the maneuvers safely.

Step 6:

Show your ability to use turn signals appropriately. Remember to use turn signals as directed in the Texas Driver's Handbook................................

Answer 4

The most important thing is to pay attention. Pay attention to all the signs, all the cars around you, look frequently in the rear-view mirror, the traffic lights, speed limits etc. You have to ensure that the examiner gets the impression that you are a safe driver, even if you peel out of the lot after the exam. Remeber, driving is a privilege blah blah. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

the most important thing to remember is to stay calm and concentrate on the other cars on the rode. hitting a pedestrian is an automatic fail
