Am i 16 yet?

[nirvana]

Driving test tomorrow at 1:30 so I skip out on another 2 hours of school, cause the idiots felt the need to cancel it due to a little snow.  Anyway, any (serious) pointers?  Keep hands at 9-3, keep looking in mirrors, should I look at my mirrors and over my shoulder when I switch lanes, etc.

Don't crash
Don't talk to much, everyone hates kids who talk to much.

Relax.

[Golfer]

hop in...look to the examiner and proclaim "You boys like Mex-I-Coooo" and proceed to floor the gas and hit every orange cone you see.  They're safety cones after all.

Don't sweat it.  Just do what you'd normally do in the car, except for things you KNOW are wrong such as one hand on wheel, radio on, etc. and you'll be fine.

[Gunslinger]

definatly relax.  Make sure you come to a COMPLETE stop BEHIND the stop sign.

Also Yellow means stop.....no matter what.  Run a yellow light and most times you fail  (like I did 12 years ago)

both hands on the wheel turn it hand over hand.

[lasersailor184]

Pshaw.  I winged my test and aced it.


Remember, do things that are comfortable for YOU.  Put your hands where you want them, Check your mirrors not watch them, Always look in mirror AND with your actual eyes, lastly make sure you come to a complete stop anytime you need to.

Turn the radio on.  Show the instructor that you are confident with your skills.  Confidence wins 90% of all of life's battles.

wear a helmet.

bring a spare helmet for the instructor.

make him wear it.

while he's putting it on, put on a pair of oven-mitt gloves and laugh maniacaly while stomping vigorously on the gas pedal before you even start the car..

"muhahahhahha HAHAHAHAHhahahahhhha!"

if you pass it'll be a miracle, if you live; an act of god.

a religous experience, either way.

[Holden McGroin]

If you get really nervous, have a few drinks to take the edge off.


on second thought...

The standard practice is to take 100grams of Vodka for the courage before the test. Also, before getting in a car, shake testers hand and slip in 100$ dollars in singles. It may sound odd, but your score depends on performance of ‘feel up’ test and not actual driving. (Anyone can drive, just look at those female Asian. Somehow they got driving license) During a stop, place one hand on a tester’s knee and move up to his or her groin area while licking tester’s ear. If tester is shocked, that means you passed.
I wish you luck.

look ahead often.  Don't stare at the mph thing.  i mised 10 due to doing that but still passed.

[SMIDSY]

who needs a license? or a permit fer that matter! if you live in a low patrol area for police you can practice on city streets. you can set up cones to practice parralel parking and such.


my advice is before you do something while in motion look around. this way the instructer will think you are checking your blind spots.

[MrCoffee]

the DMV is stupid.

[nirvana]

The so called "hand to hand feed" is what they advise against yet they want you to do it.  If the airbag goes off it could make you whack your nse and injure you.  I wish they'd just make up their minds.  


Should be fine though, my step dad failed his test the first time because he was driving stick and got marked everytime he took his hand off the wheel to shift.

Here goes nothing  (oh there won't be another spot for test for 3 weeks:O )

Tell the examiner that you have Turrets Syndrome.  Radomly cuss and occasionally spit while making obscene gestures.
