I take my Driver's Test tomorrow, what advice can you give me for passing?

I'm a little nervous, but I REALLY need/want to get my license. I take my test tomorrow at 9am, so I'm hoping there won't be too much traffic, but despite that, what advice can you give me? What should I emphasize, and what should I avoid completely (if anything)? Thanks for your help and stories! :)I take my Driver's Test tomorrow, what advice can you give me for passing?
Make sure you get a sufficient amount of rest, the night before. Try not to think about the test itself to much. Eat a good, hearty breakfast. Listen and/or watch anything positive, before you leave your house, to go take your test.


After you pass your test, always remember. You now have the right, under our countries constitution, and laws that protect, to operate a vehicle. With this, comes great responsibility, as you must already know. Throughout the rest of your entire life, as a licensed driver in this country, you should be aware and always remember some do's and don't's of having a valid driver's license:





Do not ever, drive your car or anyone else's, after you've consumed any amounts of alcohol and/or drugs (including prescription drugs).





Do drive cautiously at all times (never assume).





Do carry driver's license, proof of vehicle registration and insurance information on the vehicle, that you are operating.





Do not drive while upset, mad or emotionally charged up.





Do keep your vehicle clean and smelling nice, at all times (nothing worse than a stinky and dirty car. Especially one that smells like ***).





Do buckle your seat belt at all times.





Do not have sex in your vehicle (bad luck) ever.





Do not exceed speed limits anywhere you drive (do not speed).





Do offer to drive elderly family members to appointments and trips to visit other relatives.





Do offer to pick up family members from school, work, etc.





Do not drive alone into areas unfamiliar, dark, without road signs, far away from people, without proper street or road lighting.





Do carry a really good flashlight in your vehicle, at all times.





Do carry and listen to music that really makes you happy, in your vehicle, at all times. (This will prevent you from getting upset at other irresponsible, rude and crazy drivers, around you).





Do not throw air fresheners at other driver's (especially the ones that cut you off the road).





Do enjoy driving to and from your destinations.





Do not stop to pick up hitch hikers and/or total strangers (to avoid car jackings, robberies, physical pain, etc.).





Do carry a small tool box (with basic tools) in the trunk of the vehicle. Along with road flares, a small empty gas can (at least 1 gallon), extra anti freeze or water, duck tape, etc. In the event of being stalled or experiencing engine problems. (relating to those who do not have triple A or have a very used vehicle to drive).





Do check your spare tire. Proper air pressure, etc.





Do check all vehicle fluid levels on a regular basis.





Do not let anyone, borrow your car. Unless they are very trustworthy.





Do not use you vehicle to hide anything for anyone.





Do not watch videos in your vehicle, while driving.





Do not talk on cell phones, while driving. (Women, are you paying attention?).





Do not eat, while driving (unless you are absolutely starving and need the carb's, to drive a long distance).





Do not veer or sway away from an animal, directly in front of your vehicle, at the last second. This will cause you to crash into something or worse. Someone will crash into you. You are far more important, than any squirrel, cat, dog, deer, skunk, possum, snake, rat, bird, tree branch or anything else. Hit it! And forget it! Unless, it's a human being, of course.





Do place infant, toddler's, small children in designated car seats, while driving.





Do not drive with distractions in the car.





Do have sufficient amounts of fuel or gas in your vehicle, at all times.


(Trust me. You do not want to be stranded and/or out of gas in the middle of nowhere, in some small hick town, in Texas. And be considered a minority, in this country).





Do drive cross country with a friend or friends, at least once in your driving lifetime. (one of the best times, I've ever had in my life).





Do all the things, that a responsible individual should always be doing, while driving a vehicle. Be the example to everyone around you.





Do not drive, act or be like everyone else, when you drive. Be you.





Good luck on your test and have fun driving, while being safe always.


The Jian.I take my Driver's Test tomorrow, what advice can you give me for passing?
what a ******* retarted answer. seriously that makes me so mad, it did not answer the question and was extremely partronizing. Like stfu.

Report Abuse



1. Parallel Parking: Park midway between two standards so that your car is not more than 18 inches from the curb.


2. Quick Stops: Drive at a speed of 20 miles per hour and make a quick, safe stop when the examiner instructs you.


3. Backing: Back your car for a distance of about 50 feet, at a slow rate of speed, and as straight and as smoothly as possible. Turn your head and look back at all times while backing.


4. Stopping for Signs or Traffic Signals: Give the proper hand or brake signal; approach in the proper lane; stop before reaching a pedestrian crosswalk; and remain stopped until you may move safely through.


5. Turnabout: Turn your car in a narrow space using two-, three- or five- point turns.


6. Use of Clutch: If your car has a standard transmission, you must shift smoothly and correctly.


7. Approaching Corners: You must be in proper lane and look in both directions.


8. Yielding Right-of-Way: Always yield right-of-way to pedestrians, motor vehicles, bicyclists or anyone else who moves into the intersection before you.


9. Turning: Get into the proper lane and give signal an adequate distance before reaching the turn.


10. Passing: Always look ahead and behind to make sure you can safely pass without interfering with other traffic.


11. Following: Do not drive too closely behind other cars. Watch the car ahead of you; when it passes some reference point, such as a telephone pole, then count ';one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two.'; If you pass the same spot before you are through counting, you are following too closely.


12. Posture: Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not rest your elbow on the window and do not attempt to carry on a conversation with the Examiner because they will be busy giving instructions and recording your score.





At the end of the test, the license examiner will gladly show you your score sheet and will provide you ample opportunity to discuss the test if you so desire. The applicant must achieve a minimum score of 75% to pass.
Try to stay as calm as possible. Be nice to the examiner, and make sure to smile. Drive about 5 miles under the speed limit the whole time. Remember to come to a complete stop when you're done backing up BEFORE you face the front again. Take your time with the parallel parking and the three point turn. If you can, have a parent or your Driver's Ed teacher take you through the course once before the test; it will make you less nervous.
Turn OFF the radio and listen to the inspector. He knows you're nervous but it is not his job to fail you.


Most tests are simple, turn left, turn right,stop (quickly not suddenly)


pull into the parking lot here, Parallel parking is the only real test, the rest is just driving around.


REMEMBER to say thank you.
you see dear, right there is your biggest problem. you have to settle those nerves. make sure you use those turn signals even when your parelle parking. also make sure you fasten those seat belts and make sure the instructor fastens his/hers too before starting out, they will try to fool you on that seat belt thing.
If its just the driving part then don't worry the only hard part is parallel parking but then again its not bad. if you still have to take the written part i suggest reading the little book they give you, read it and memorize it its not long but all the answers are in it
Remember to use your mirrors.They want to see that.


And when you stop behind another vehicle a good rule of thumb to remember for distance is if you cant see their back tires, then your too close to them (and you might get docked for it.) Good luck sweet heart!!
stay calm, don't make a big deal over one little mistake. use your mirrors and make it obvious that you are. don't be nervous.
study and dont be nervous try to remember everything
Dont think
DONT KILL PEOPLE
