    The way you're feeling right now is the way many people feel before taking the test. Most of them pass. You're nervous because you care. That's good...means you're likely to be well-prepared. Deep breath. Wishing you the best.

    I totally blew it at parallel parking, ran a stop sign, and caught myself 5 over the speed limit twice and my instructor still passed me with an 84. There really is a god.

I am 28 and years of stressing over this have built up to this moment. Ugh. I wish I didn't have to take it! :S I just hope I get a friendly examiner! :)

I have successfully passed two written exams (I had to convert my permit to another state) on the first try, and I've had my permit for a whole year. I'm pretty positive it'll be a piece of cake. I am a good driver. :)

    I failed the test my first time because of this same reason. I was told to switch lanes and the person behind me sped up and I slowed down before switching. I was immediately failed and on my paper the instructor wrote that I did a dangerous lane change. I was pissed but more disappointed than anything else. I have my second appointment coming up soon and I am so anxious.

  • @MouthOfTheUnknown
    @MouthOfTheUnknown 12 років тому +8

    I have one tomorrow too :D according to my sister, the test is extremely simple and straight forward, as long as you use common sense and have made these driving techniques a habit, you're fine. You can lose 19 points without failing, I think parallel parking is worth 5 points, I still can't do it perfectly every time, so it gives me hope I'll still pass even though I'm probably failing that part haha. remember if you break a law, you get an automatic fail. good luck!!!!!

    This is great! One of my pet peeves with regard to driving is people who do not turn into the nearest lane at an intersection. Not only is it dangerous, but it also prevents others from being able to turn on a green light as they should be able to, delaying traffic flow.

You can download the Driver Guide (it's free) directly from our website at: dol(dot)wa(dot)gov/driverslicense/docs/driverguide-en(dot)pdf Regarding stop signs, I especially recommend that you read the info on page 29 of the Driver Guide (it's actually page 37 of the pdf file).

    Search "blind spots of cars" on Google images. The usual blind spots are the ones close behind and right next to your car. You can't see them in your mirrors, so you're going to have to turn your head to make sure there are no cars in your blind spot when switching lanes.

      @@Huffmega I passed! With flying colors too! Thank you for asking. I had a really chill teacher and they gave me critic’s on what I messed up on. Good luck to all the other drivers!!

    I have a problem changing lanes in the freeway. Whenever I check my mirrors and over shoulder my car drifts of the lane. I forget to pay attention on the road and it's really dangerous. :( Any tips please?

    These videos are very helpful, could you make such videos for other maneuvers evaluated on exam?

    I don't have my test until early september, My friends say all we do is drive out the parking lot and take like 3 turns and go over a railroad thing.
