How to Pass Your Driving Test (Driving Test Tips)

Spread The Viralist

Like anything else, practicing your skills ahead of time will help you calm your nerves and gain confidence for test day.

Some tips that can help you make the most of your practice time include:

Starting out in an empty parking lot or residential street with low traffic to gain confidence.
Having your parents give you constructive feedback while you’re behind the wheel.
Though criticism can be difficult, use the opportunity to improve your driving.
If real-time feedback is too distracting, ask your parent to give you an assessment at each stop sign. Alternatively, set up specific checkpoints where you will pull over (into a parking lot or onto a side street), where your parent can give you tips and feedback before moving on.
Taking a driver training course.
Though these aren’t free, signing up for this service is a good way to practice for the test.
Instructors will simulate the test conditions, which will improve your knowledge and help you gain comfort behind the wheel.
Remember that the more you practice, the more your skills will become second nature.

Know the Rules—and Make them Habit
You’ll need to do more than memorize the rules of the road to pass the driving test. You’ll need to have practiced those rules so many times that they are now second nature, and part of your habitual reactions on the road.

As you practice driving with an experienced adult, have them test you on your knowledge and application of:

Passing laws.
This includes passing in the correct lane and knowing when passing other vehicles is prohibited.

Road signs &Traffic signals.
Including flashing yellow and flashing red lights.

Speed limits.
Including reduced speed requirements for weather conditions, construction, etc.

Safe following distances.
Signaling for lane changes and turns.
