finally after 4 years im going to get my full license tommorow...

has anyone taken the test in standard? what are u not supposed to do driving standard... no switching gears in an intersection? no putting into neutral to slow down? anything else? i can't find this info on there site...

Also, anyone who has taken the hour long test.. what kinda things do they get u to do?

i took it last summer.. i found it to be easier than the first road test! basically, just drive like you normally do.. they're a lot less strict with this road test i think

they made me back into a stall.. and that was pretty much it.. the rest was just driving normally... doing turns and stuff

They don't like it if you do the one hand on the wheel and the other on the stick the whole time you're driving. Only grab the shifter to change gears, and then back at 10 & 2. I could never get comfortable driving like that though, but like everything else, you have to just do what they want to see.

Yeh... they always picked on me for shifting in intersections... oh yah... DON'T GET IT INTO THE POWERBAND :kam: it doesn't look good when you take 1st to about 4500 then shift. lol

nah man dont worry about it..you can shift in an intersection they dont really give a fuck, just make sure your shifts are smooth, also use your engine to break, they want people to down shift before a stop instead of just coasting.

so have you fixed the sentra up since the accident? i just installed an aem intake, i think im gonna order a nismo header and stromung exhaust in a month or so, depends on the cash situation.

Dont worry the test doesnt actually last an hour. If your a good driver you will pass. Its not as hard as everybody says it is.
