I am soooooooo nervous. I have it tomorrow! First time, I want to do it right on the first try.

I mean I get all the basics. Turning. I know that I need to make FULL stops when approaching the stop sign (behind that white line, of course). Also I need to like make sure (not overexagerrate) to let the instructor know that I am cautious by looking left, right , left (3 seconds) when I stop....

I have some questions:
1) When I parallel park, do I turn on the right signal right before I reverse to park?
2) When I do the 3-point/k-turn, should I signal right, then signal left, check to see any approaching traffic, then reverse?
3) What is the #1 thing I should be concerned besides parallel parking (which really isn't so hard)
4) Speed limit?
5) Thank you! :]

pass mine today after my 5th try . Do not go under the speed
Limit by 10km or miles if you're American . Know your right of way and yes. You have to signal if you're paralle parking. Obstructing traffic is an automatic fail. Post in the car forum for more help

1) when you parallel park, you turn on the right turn signal and pull aside closer, and then reverse and do your thing (to be safe. look at every mirror/window. they can't take points off of being extra cautious)

3) stop before white line at stop sign. check left/right. creep up. "peep" (imagine you're a thief and you just stole something)

4) depends where you are

Road test in most DMV in NJ don't even require you to drive on the road. I did mine in a grass field with paved roads.

If you dont pass it, you dont deserve to drive.

Use your signal ALWAYS, look over your shoulder and check blind spots ALWAYS, and make sure you STOP at stop signs.... I swear to god, those are the only things you can do wrong to fail in NJ
