View Full Version : Getting my Liscence tomorrow
Yep, tomorrow at 1:45 PM Pacific time, I will be taking my drivers test. I'm pretty nervous that I'll do something stupid and fail, any tips would be appreciated.......out
Best advise ever: Try not to run over any old ladies or little children...

There are these things called stop signs. Pay attention to them...

Don't forget to look in the mirrors before putting the blinker on. They absolutely slam you for that. Well, in Australia they do! :)

When making a turn, always turn into the nearest lane. And remember to keep at least one hand on the wheel when stopped. And don't forget that pretending that you're playing Grand Theft Auto while taking your driver's exam is BAD.

Well, yeah, people get pissed when you cut them off. :)

Or when you slam into their front end when they're in your blind spot.

I just take up both lanes if nobody is around me :) But yeah, for an exam you should probably do what Rat said, heh.

Take the test in the smallest car you can (assuming your family has more than one). This will help you TONS when you parallel park. I took mine in my mom's MR2 Spyder. I had plenty of room. I did pretty well until I had to back into a parking spot; the DOT person (who was in SUCH a good mood...) ambushed me! :bash:
I knicked a cone, but I still recieved my license. Today I can back into parking spots like...well....you get the idea.
Also, just remain calm.
Oh, and don't hit any other cars.

When parallel parking, it's OK to make the 'beep-beep-beep' sound with your mouth while in reverse.

Do not flip off other drivers.
Do not fish-tail your car (on purpose or not).
Arrive early. The line at the DMV is a bitch.

Oh, Ace Ventura type parking isn't allowed, even if you can do it.

Don't be nervous. I'm the worst driver in the world and I passed on my first try. During my test, I drove onto a sidewalk, drove over a curb, almost ran a red light, and shouted every filthy word in the English language when an idiot in a little ricer side swiped me. They still gave me a license. :lol:
1 point = Hitting a garbage can
2 points = dog or cat
3 points = another car
4 points = person
5 points = marching band

Drink a few beers before taking the test. It will calm your nerves...

Treat everyone on the road as idiots, expect nothing but mistakes from them and you will see everything comming.

I had to have had the easiest diver's test ever administered. Did the parking test, pulled out on the road, went down less than 100 feet, turned around and came back.

It is not OK to poo or wee in your pants when you are going for your lisence just incase the instructor is turned on by that, :bash:
It is however OK to take you shirt off and ask him or her if they think your chest is georgeous. :P
And remeber if you do fail just act tough and pretend that you dont care, just say "Pfftt, i didnt even want my lisence anyway you jerk"

Keep calm, breathe, dont f**k up......simple as that.
I made the mistake of taking my test on April Fool's day, I thought I failed hardcore cause the DMV guy kept reciting this HUGE list of mistakes I made....then finally at the end when my confidence was completely and throughly trashed, he went "Ahhh just kidding you did fine April Fool's" I could have killed the pr**k :fork: l.

I dont know how the people your doing the test with will grade it, or how long it will be, but mine was easy. It took about ten minutes for me, and i only made one mistake, which was supposedly was a mistake that a lot of people had made, like not stoping before the white line on a certain road. Just relax and drive, dont freak out. and STOP BEFORE THE CROSS WALKS!!! You may not check your mirrors much when you drive, but make yourself do it, no glancing either, you must turn your head, or they wont know your looking, and will downgrade you.

Glance at the back seat nervously several times. Say 'shhhhhh!' 2 or 3 times, then burst out with 'STOP MESSING WITH MY MIIIIIND!!' You'll pass for sure.

Just show up all beaten up, and act very very tired. Tell the guy you're in your Kevin Spacey alter ego now...he'll let you pass.

Just wave your hand past his face and in a very neutral tone of voice say: "You don't want to administer the test..."
