Drive an automatic!!!! I cant stress that enough, my first drivers test was in my old Supra. I held on to the shifter a second too long and they almost failed me. If you have lines in the road for left turns use them!! I cant stress that enough either. Turn your cell phone off completely, and dont start the car until you and the tester both have your seatbelts on AND the doors are closed. Depending on what kind of person your tester will be you can probably talk to them and theyll talk to you so much they wont even realize if you mess something up. Keep your speed exactly and lane exactly, and when you are instructed to change lanes, wait like 4-5 seconds after you put your signal on to actually change your lane. Also, when you come to a stop sign stop either before the line or at the sign itself. Trust me on that one, if the sign comes before the normal spot to stop, stop at the sign then pull forward and stop again. Just relax and act like you have a TOMTOM telling you where to go rather than the guy/girl in your passenger seat. Just stay as relaxed as you can and take it easy. It might seem like this big hard thing to pass but really you dont have much to worry about. And when you do go to change your lane, look in the mirror (make it obvious) then look over your shoulder and change lanes. They like it when you do it like that.
And just like YSSMAN says dont sweat it if you make a mistake, it may seem like one or two can fail you but 99% of the time it wont, unless its a really big mistake like skidding to a stop at a light.
Remember, speed limit, keep your lane, relax, and just obey the traffic laws and youll be taking that picture sooner than you know it. Oh yeah i forgot, if the person starts writing, it doesnt mean you messed up necessarily, they have to give you a score for every aspect of the test so when theyre writing theyre just giving your score.
I would say good luck, but you wont need it. Its not as hard as it seems trust me, and if you fail the first time oh well. Its not like you get one chance then its over for the rest of your life. Out here i think the restest period is like 3 weeks but im not sure. All you have to do is relax and drive how your supposed to and youll do perfect.
