alright I’m turning 16 on December 25th and taking the test the 26th…I don’t have to take the written portion but anyone know what they ask for on the driving portion? I’m freaking out about backing around a corner because I’monly 4’11 and I can barely see over the dash. What to expect?
i am taking it next week and i want to know what they test you on.
what do they make you do? do they make you parallel park? and what are some things that they check for, and what are things they can automatically fail you for?
just tell me everything i need to know to pass.
dont have to take written part i already did, i mean the behind the wheel test sorry i should have been more clear.
the written test is easy. just read the study questions at the end of each chapter. those are the exact same questions that will be on the test. it may mean you have to wait around longer, but if you go to a busy examination station they will not spend a long time on the driving test. if you obey the signs and traffic lights, you will do fine. they don’t expect perfection, they just want to know you are a safe driver. good luck.
As far as what you have to do for your test, that really depends on the instructor you get–some instructors will only ask you to do a few things, such as parallel park, and others will ask you to do the whole 9 yards. As far as passing your test, some of the things the instructor can fail you for if you don’t follow these rules are: failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, disregarding a red light, failure to signal a turn or lane change, and failure to park between the lines if you do not do so successfully in 3 attempts or less. Also be sure to release the emergency brake before you begin driving; failure to do so will result in an automatic fail. But if you stick to those guidelines, and don’t get too nervous, you should be fine. If you’re nervous, it may help to pretend that the instructor isn’t even there, or that the instructor is someone you’re more comfortable with, such as a relative or a friend. For me, that helped reduce the anxiety a heap. Good luck!
I want to know how long they test you and what kind of stuff they make you do
I live in Florida so this may vary, but they're usually the same throughout most states.
Do what the examiner tells you to do and pay attention because they hate when you don't listen. Here is what they will be expecting from you below.
TURN ABOUT – Turn your car around in a 30' to 40' space.
APPROACH OF CROSSING – Get in the proper lane and look in each direction.
OBSERVE RIGHT-OF-WAY – Allow pedestrians to cross, pull over and stop for emergency vehicles and do not enter an intersection where you will interfere with other traffic.
STRAIGHT-IN PARKING – Park your vehicle inside the parking space straight-in. When properly parked, the vehicle should be centered inside the space with no part of the vehicle extending out in the traffic lane.
STOP/START ON A GRADE – If there is no hill on your driving test, this maneuver is simulated when the car is in the straight-in parking space or when the car is pulled over to the side of the road before the turnabout maneuver. You will be instructed to show or tell the examiner what you would do if you were going to leave the vehicle parked up or down a hill, with or without a curb.
STOP QUICKLY – Drive at 20 miles per hour and make a quick, safe stop when the examiner instructs you.
BACKING – Back for a distance of 50 feet at a slow speed. Do not use the rear-view mirror when backing. Look to the rear instead.
OBEY STOP SIGNS – Give the proper signal if turning, approach in the proper lane, come to a complete stop before reaching the pedestrian crosswalk or stop line, and remain stopped until you can move safely without interfering with cross traffic.
OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNALS – Get into the proper lane and approach the light at a speed that will allow you to stop if the light should change. When you must stop, stop before the pedestrian crosswalk or stop line. When the light turns green, do not move forward until the other traffic has cleared the intersection. Give the correct signal for stopping and turning. Watch for "no turn" and "one way" signs.
SIGNAL AND TURN – Get into the proper lane and signal your turn for the last 100 feet. Slow before reaching the crosswalk and turn into the proper lane.
PASSING – Always look ahead and behind to make sure you can pass safely. Pass on the left, unless the car ahead is about to make a left turn or is in the left turn lane on a street with more than one lane in each direction. Do not pass on the shoulder (side of the road).
STAY IN PROPER LANE – Drive in the right lane except on a one-way street. Do not change lanes until you may do so safely.
FOLLOW AT A SAFE DISTANCE – Do not drive too closely behind other cars.
USE PROPER POSTURE – Keep both hands on the steering wheel and do not rest your elbow in the window.
