Getting your driver’s license is a big step in life. A driving license makes you independent and mobile. You can drive yourself where ever you choose to go without bothering anyone else. However, before you acquire a driving license, you need to appear for the driving test. During the test, you need to convince the examiner, with your driving skills, that you are not the kind of a road hazard as he or she is imagining you to be.
Taking your driver exam can be a very nervous experience but by thinking about a few common mistakes and learning from them you can considerable increase your chances of success, to get your coveted driver license. If you are trying to prepare for your driving exam, you need to study and learn all the rules of the road. You also need to practice regularly. You need to get comfortable in the driver’s seat if you want to pass.
1. Practice with a responsible adult who will explain your mistakes to you and offer advice on how to avoid making them in the future.
And you shouldn’t practice with somebody who won’t offer you any real advice.
2. The most common mistake is to act cautiously and insecure while taking driving exam. It is true that you should take care in the traffic but driving to carefully can make it seem like you don’t know what you are doing and can actually make driving more dangerous. Being too careful can be dangerous in the same way as driving to recklessly can be dangerous. You might drive a little extra carefully as a result of the stress associated with the drivers exam but you should none the less try to drive with confidence.
3. Think confident while taking driving exam. Talk yourself – silently! – through the test. Talk about hazards coming up and how you are going to deal with them. This really focuses your mind on how you should be driving in order to pass the test.
4. Many find parking hard and it can therefore be worth training parking a little extra so that you feel secure parking before you take your driving exam.
5. Don’t be afraid to ask if you don’t understand what the examiner has asked you to do, don’t be afraid to ask him or her to repeat the instruction.
6. An important part of the driving license exam is to show that you can think ahead. Make sure that you choose the right line before an intersection right from the start so that you don’t have to make last minute manoeuvring. Make sure to always use your indicators when you are changing lines.
7. Learn to use the gears correctly and when to change gear to increase your chances of passing your drivers test.
8. Make sure not to take shortcuts across the road while taking your drivers exam. This is especially important when turning right since many drivers want to take a short cut through the intersections when turning right.
9. On your driving test you will be asked to verbally explain 3 technical checks. These are random and can be regarding, tyres, lights, reflectors, indicators, the engine oil, the coolant, the windscreen washer, the steering, the brakes, the brake fluid, the power steering and the horn. Make sure you can open and close the bonnet as failure to do so will constitute a fault.
10. If you feel you’ve made a mistake, don’t instantly assume you’ve failed – it may only have been a minor fault. Put it behind you and carry on driving as well as you can.
11. And Relaxing will make your driving more natural and will help you avoid many common problems.
Hence practice, practice, and practice until you can drive without verbal or physical intervention from your instructor for the duration of a full driving lesson or a mock driving exam.
