Answer 1

make sure you wear your seat belt and use the indicator lights

Answer 2

i took mine a while ago in PA, but here's basically what mine was:

first I had to show the guy that I knew how to work everything. I had to turn on the turn signals, hazard lights, head lights, high beams, windshield wipers. Just basic things like that. Make sure you buckle up as soon as you get in the car. I can't remember if he had me start it for this or not, but put on your belt just to be safe.

Next I had to pull out of the parking spot, well back out (use your blinker to indicate the way you are swinging the back of your car) Adjust the mirrors before you put it in drive and make sure you're buckled before you turn the car on. So, I back out of the spot and go to a red light, turn right and drive a few blocks, turn right again, drive a few blocks, etc. until I'm back at the DMV.

Then I went behind the building to the parallel parking spot and did that. Make sure you use your flashers and physically turn around in your seat to look. I used my mirrors only and he said I should've turned around. I didn't fail though, so i guess he was in a good mood. Once you're in the spot, put the car into park. my guy also had me put on the ebrake and turn the car off.

then, i restarted the car, took off the ebrake, and pulled out. make sure you take the ebrake off and use your blinkers. also make sure he notices that you look at your mirrors again to make sure you can still see. Then I went back to the parking lot and parked the car, put the ebrake on, turned the car off, and got out of the car. Then they gave me my license.

good luck!

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.

i know in michigan they have you parallel park, pull up to a line as close as you can without going over it, back into a space, and then just drive on the highway and around town.
