stay calm when doing it
now that you kno what you had to do on the test practice driven try and remember what you did wrong if they told you practice and then try
stay calm you need to be relaxed:)

if you didnt take lessons.. then take a couple of them if you have time.. everyone i know who took lessons passed first try. i think the tester looks to see if your also experienced cuz when u take lessons you have to practice 30 hours on ur own or something? i dono i took them 2 years ago..

I passed on my 4th try... I'd had a Pilots License for 4 years already, but somehow they didn't trust me to Drive... odd? I think so. Now I'm qualified to do my Class 3 with Air. :) Just relax and don't worry about what the Examiner is scribbling on his little Pad... they do that just to take notes and sketch you out.

Parallel Parking is easy.... 1... 2... 3... and 1... 2... 3... and straighten your Wheels, SHAZAAM! You should be in. I've done it on Mushrooms, you can do it sober! :)

if you back into your stall pre-test [meaning you can fuck up as many times as needed] and they know you were driving [llike for me, i had one last lesson before my road test] they're less likely to ask you to do it again.

just be calm and don't concentrate on the person sitting next to you. always shoulder check, keep your speeds right and make smooth maneuvers. you'll be fine.

In other words, don't drive like I do and you'll pass no problem. :D

that just brough back memories of that commercial from MADD about dick, his bar and his car. then they're all "BE A DICK! don't drink and drive"
they had that whole commercial done wrong.

ikr?

they should've showed the bar.. the drinks, all that jazz. then showed a car totalled with ambulances and police all around and then said "DON'T BE A DICK!" it would've been so much better.

i took my N test and i barly passed if i got one more wrong i would of failed! but dont go to the vancouver one go to burnaby by lougheed...its kinda easier...all you gotta do is if the instructor tells u to turn right or left or anything ask urself why....obviously it is either a school or playground area and it sux cuz you gotta drop to 30 right away....and if the instructor asks you to pull over and open ur door...make sure you shoulder check and look both ways....and when u come to a stop sign...completly stop before you go again (that was my mistakes *blushes*)

GOOD LUCK!!! *HUGGLES* and dont be nervious cuz u cant think clearly :p i know easier said than done but try ur best :)

babygirlazn · #17 (**permalink**) Aug 23, 04
