If you have ever paid any attention while driving with your parents you will be fine. Mostly common sense. When driving just make sure you signal every time, check you blind spots and all that crap. Piece of cake...

haven't had the test in years, but the hardest part I remember is backing around a turn, can't hit the curb or u have to start the test all over. atleast that's how it was 15 years ago.

Uphill parking turn the wheels away from the curb... downhill turn them towards the curb. No one does it in real life but I guess during the test that is how you are supposed to do it and roll into the curb a bit. No way I would do it in my car though. Backing and parallel parking are a piece of cake. (though parallel parking isnt on the test anymore since they said you can survive without paralell parking...

STOP at the stop signs. Even a little roll-thru and you're failed.


And if you fail, challenge the examiner to take an RC drivers test!!!

Biggest thing to remember, FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT!!!!! You could Very easily fail the drivers test by skipping this little step. Make sure it is one of the FIRST things you do, Definately BEFORE you shift the car into gear.

If you want to score a couple Brownie points, when you get in the car, do a quick Mirror check, even if you drove to the Test area. By mirror check, I mean look at each mirror, and make sure it is adjusted right.
