My TOP 10 Driving Test Tips 🚙
1️⃣ Make sure you have practiced enough and can drive independently as experience really is 👑 out there 💪
(Don’t benchmark yourself against anyone else either in terms of hours needed as we’re all unique)
2️⃣ Start your test ‘Safe Drive’ the way you mean to go on (remember this is your time to shine and showcase your driving skills)
You’ve worked hard to get to this point!
Ps Get to the Test Centre in good time and don’t forget your provisional license 🙈
3️⃣ On the day your examiner genuinely wants you to PA55 and doesn’t have a certain quota they have to PASS or FAIL irrespective of what you’ve heard on the grapevine! If you’re Safe & Competent it’s dead simple you will be fine 🙏
4️⃣ During your 38/40 minute drive your examiner will at times touch their iPad (This doesn’t mean you have failed) it’s just something they have to do 😀
5️⃣ If you think you have made a mistake don’t dwell on it and keep going!
Take a big deep breath and reset your focus!
6️⃣ Plan ahead, be ready for the unexpected and remember things don’t just come from ‘Nowhere’ 🙄 if you’re scanning/looking in the right areas…..
A Safe Competent driver should be TEN steps ahead 👀
Use your gut instinct if something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t so adjust your driving in good time!
7️⃣ Know your priorities especially when approaching meeting points. Less space means Less SPEED ‼️
Select your ⚠️ gear nice and early for maximum control 💪
8️⃣ If you take a wrong turn, get into the incorrect lane DO NOT panick as you are allowed to go off route as long as you stay SAFE at all times❗️
Your examiner will simply let you know and get you back onto the correct route 😀
9️⃣ Don’t scrimp on your mirror checks ❗️
Be WARNED 👀👀
1️⃣0️⃣ For your manoeuvre GO SLOW, L👀k all around and if you’re not accurate by the end of it you can adjust as long as you continue to do the above 👆
