i already failed twice!!!! this is my last chance, help!!!

Practice driving.
Ask your friends who have passed what they were tested on (because it's different depending on the area.)
I would go to the same place to test where that friend went.
Good luck.

pay attention to your surroundings. read the manual and memorize lights, turn signals, signs, and speed limit and all that. and also, just don't think so much, and worry about this and that, just pay attention to what's happening and all that. good luck. i know it's not easy passing on first try. i didn't. but good luck to you again.

[Vidalia]

Thinking ahead always kept me going when I took the test. Staying calm also helps. But trust me youll eventually get your license. Back then I was worried about never getting my license and then I would always think to myself "Name one person who has never gotten their license" plus I would think of how many drunk drivers who by some miracle could make it home safety then I was bound to get my license sometime.

Good Luck.

i just passed my driving test today

definitely turn your head and look around a lot cus the tester will want to know that you're scanning the area and your surroundings carefully. the two people in front of me failed because their tester said they didn't look around enough. and make sure you maintain the speed limit and control the steering wheel well

[Laxntiga]

What miss vicky said. Memorize the route, be prepared, be extra aware of your surroundings. Practice that PPARKING!

[ZiGeNX77]

More practice.
Exaggerate some of your movements so they are noticeable to the tester.
"10 - 2"
Make convincing stops (as opposed to rolling stops)

Good luck!

[Daikirai]

Exaggerate everything!!! Just.. not to much. =/

I failed for "not stopping".. IM SO SRS I STOPPED. Ugh.
So when you stop, make sure it's a tad obvious.

When you stop at stop signs, make sure you stay there for a lot of seconds.




Eh. Why am I telling you what to do.. I failed my road test.. ; _______ ;

[N Dey Say]

drive extremely slow so you'll have time to think ahead.

I failed for "not stopping".. IM SO SRS I STOPPED. Ugh.
So when you stop, make sure it's a tad obvious.

When you stop at stop signs, make sure you stay there for a lot of seconds.

The car has to stop at a standstill for at least 2 seconds.
Make it obvious by stopping just in front of the line when you approach the stop sign. Don't worry about the cars first. Stop completely, then check for cars.
When you focus on the line and stop completely, the assessor knows that you saw and understood about what the stop sign is for.

If you wait for too long and there are obviously no cars around, it's not really that good. But better than rolling over the line at the stop sign. Immediate failure.

drive extremely slow so you'll have time to think ahead.

If you always drive 20km/h under the speed limit I think that's considered too slow.
It's safe to travel about 3 or 5 km/h less than the speed limit.
(You can convert it to miles....) >.>

What areas are you weak at? Have you practised a lot since the last test? You have any specific questions?
There are a few similar topics already here that also ask about passing driving tests.

Familiarize yourself with the area/roads/speed limits/traffic you will be tested on and practice at around the same time as your test.
Eg. if the test is on a weekday 1.20pm, practice during that time to get used to the traffic and congestion.

[Aesthetic_Chinese]

heres a hint:

at stop signs: STOP BEHIND THE STOP SIGN, AFTER STOPPING EASE FORWARD TO LOOK
always check blind spots before switching lanes, once you've switched into the lane turn off you're
blinker when you are fully in the lane.

watch your speed limit && always be alert.

thats how i passed
i got my license && i love ittt

[bBy_sT4r]

haha no no no don't drive TOO slow.
my tester almost failed me today cus he said i was driving too slow & apparently i was "impeeding traffic" and when you stop at stop signs, don't stop for TOO long. only 5 seconds MAX. better at least count to 3 at a complete stop.

i'm sure you'll do fine. i was so nervous today so i made a lot more mistakes than when i'm usually driving. but i still managed to pass by a few points. just stay relaxed and you'll be fine

[catchphrase]

i already failed twice!!!! this is my last chance, help!!!

Probably would help to take a look at what you got marked off for and not repeat those mistakes?

[intricaciesx]

don't rush! drive slowly & carefully. stop BEFORE the line at the stop sign. and then inch forward to look for "traffic". ALWAYS CHECK FOR TRAFFIC. check like a madwoman...exaggerate. i kept looking like crazy for "traffic & pedestrians" (it was a closed course) , but i forgot twice and got like 4 points off. parallel park in 3 min. eerr dont hit the curb. look at your mirrors & blindspots. hopefully you'll pass. maybe third time's the charm. oh yea and EVERYTIME you turn, switch on your blinkers.

[mika.16]

the only way to pass is to be completely alert at all times during test. think slowly so u dont forget to check mirrors etc

goooood luck!! =)))
and dont rush to take your test! only when you feel really ready

[janiiekiim]

i just took my driving test yesterday and i passed ;]
but to prepare..
i drove the whole route the day before the test. (it helps when you know where you're going)
practiced parallel parking a good 30 times ;; (parallel parking is a really big factor here, not sure about where you live)

during the test keep in mind to..
- before actually putting the car into drive.. check mirrors, lights (if necessary), and seatbelts.
- drive 4-5 mph below the speed limit (sorry i don't know kilometers)
- stop for three seconds at a stop sign (look left, right, then left again).. and stop BEFORE the stop sign. and if you have to.. drive SLOWLY to see other traffic.
- when changing lanes or merging.. look at all mirrors! (i forgot to do this which hurt my test!)
- also..just because i got nailed for this.. when turning (esp right turns).. stay in your lane! but don't his the curb! i'm not sure how to explain this. but when turning.. just try staying in your lane! don't go into another lane's space.
- ALWAYS signal. it doesn't hurt to signal when you don't have to.
- after you put your car into park after you're done the test, don't forget to put up your park brake.
- always be polite to the instructor. like say "how are you" "yes sir/ma'am" etc.
- lastly, relax. i know this may sound hard. but try not to look nervous. confidence behind the wheel is best.

hope this helped ;] and good luck.

[sentuhmentalfo0l]

practice practice practice!
like the week before my test i just followed cars at the dmv to familiarize myself with the test

[michtiu_888]

i think i dont want to take the test for some time now... im scared ill hear the dreaded "unfortunately, you have to come back again" ... wahaha!!!

[letmeinman]

when you stop at the stop sign,

look left and right as if you just stole something

it works
