Drivers Test Tommorow

[Primavara]

I'm doing my drivers test tommorow. How long is this test and what are they looking for?

[WWJAI]

I say if your going to be practicing anything. Practice parallel parking the most.

Good luck.

Driving test yeah? Wasn't completely sure if you're talking written or what. It's pretty short, maybe half an hour or less. You'll go through a couple playground zones, so watch your speed, etc. Remember complete stops at stop signs, watch all the lines and stay fair distances from them. When you're turning left, remember to keep your wheels STRAIGHT, and always smooth lane changing and accelerating throughout. Shoulder check properly, and they also look for how much you eye the rear view mirror and speedometer. Every few seconds look at the speedometer, and look at the rear view mirror ever so often too. Know how to parallel park too (duh).

[Primavara]

Any idea on how many mistakes you can make?

[Disoblige]

You can make a LOT of minor mistakes lol. I think it's like 20 points or so. But if you do a major mistake like not stop at a stop sign, or pedestrian crosswalk, you're done.

[aznlee]

make sure you slow down at uncontrolled intersections, they will ding you if you dont...

[Primavara]

On the park what if I nick the curb? Is that and instant fail?

[Disoblige]

No actually, that's minor. They let you try again.

Make sure your relaxed, and just stay confident. Check your mirrors often and drive exactly the speed limit, unless conditions are poor. Set that parking brake when he makes you park on a incline/decline.

Good luck.

Cool. I'm most worried about the parallel park. If I fail whatever. At least I tried haha. Anyone got some good tips for the paralel park? Like when to turn and what not. I cant tell when the angle is 45.

[Spatz]

watch for unmarked intersections, they got a few of my friends on that one, instant fail.

[nismodrifter]

Parallel park they give you 3 tries. When I did mine there wasn't even a car behind me (I guess because they don't want you to hit someones car if you F up). It was in a residential area, there was a car parked ahead on the right, he told me to parallel park behind it.

Don't worry about it. Very easy.

DRIFT IT!!

What do you mean? Why did they fail? Not covering the brake or something?

[Jackc]

Watch for crosswalks with flashing overhead lights too, if they are flashing make sure you're going 30 at the sign even if no one is crossing. Its auto fail for that even if nobodys crossing.

Ahh then it won't be that bad.
My test was 30 minutes around a residental neighbourhood full of playground zones so just make sure you watch your speed, look out for stop signs and all that good stuff.

When doing you hill and parallel park don't forget to signal coming out of them and for the hill don't foget to pull the e-brake, I got penalized for that.
