Any pointers or tips?

drew · 02-26-2007, 01:23 PM

mmm don't pull the ebrake for a controled stop ( if they do that in this state )

it's easy, go to sleep early and get up early. have a big breakfast and don't over think it. don't stay up studying the stupid book, if you don't know the answers now you arn't going to learn them overnight

the test is really easy, and if you fail i think you can take it again in a couple days

im going for my license

New driver? One you get you license, focus on driving and not impressing your firends. Also, stay away from me on the road.

OK BY!

good luck

naDintheHat · 02-26-2007, 02:12 PM

good luck, it really isn't that hard of a test ( kinda wish it was much harder). Good night of sleep and get up early are 2 good ideas. basically just make sure you are wide awake and have food in you. And don't be too worried about the person giving the test, hell the guy i had mumbled everything he wanted me to do so i continuously asked him to repeat.

Oh yeah.. use your turn signals! i lost points for not using it to in and out of a parking spot.

goodluck, let us all know how it goes.

PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON BEFORE STARTING THE CAR! very important

ScubaSteve · 02-26-2007, 02:15 PM

-Seatbelt before starting
-turn signals for EVERY trun
-stop for 3 mississippi at every stop sign

OutOfStock · 02-26-2007, 02:25 PM

Do the speed limit! I was doing 17 in a 15 and got yelled at.

Broken5hift · 02-26-2007, 02:29 PM

if its a female instructor tell her, her boobs look nice. if its a guy tell him he has a nice package. guaranteed pass.

what he said. good luck

**TROLL** · 02-26-2007, 02:33 PM

use your blinker even to turn into the parking spot at the end of the test. thats the only thing i got nailed for but fortunately its a really minor penalty.
good luck...

Evo8kid · 02-26-2007, 02:37 PM

insist that the instructor wear their seatbelt, and dont fail....just my.02 haha

martang · 02-26-2007, 02:40 PM

My friend failed because she didn't turn the steering wheel right going around a turn.

I am glad to see i am not the only person that did that.

TGilb2007 · 02-26-2007, 02:50 PM

Yea...i lost points for not using the blinker getting into my final spot either. Also, when making turns, let the car naturally recover itself, dont steer it back. It leads to over correcting, and steers you back in the wrong direction.

Also, does your state make you parallel park? I know DE does, and its not a big deal.

poolmike · 02-26-2007, 03:09 PM

Holy crap. I can't even remember my test.

Just don't get nervous and you will do fine.

XxaltezzaxX · 02-26-2007, 03:17 PM

It's not that hard, just take your time and do every thing the book told you to do. Seat belts on, blinker for every turn, and don't hit anything. On my test the instructor told me I was going to fast, I hit the curb parallel parking, and I still passed ha.
