Preparing and going for a road test for your driver's license is quiet easy but can be very tricky if you don't do your "home work" properly.


Drivers who are fully informed and prepared are more likely to pass their license road test. This tips gives basic information about knowing and understanding how to drive safely.You can use it to help prepare for your road test, and to preview what the test will be like. Also, be sure to practice each driving maneuver described in the DMV Driver's Manual or, for motorcyclists, the DMV motorcycle Manual.


To pass your road test, you show you can meet certain minimum standards for safe driving.After you are licensed, you will deal with situations and problems you may not have encounted before taking your road test. You can learn to handle this situations by using the driving habits and responsible attitudes you demonstrated during the road test.


1.GET ENOUGH PRACTICE
I recommend at least 30 hours of driving practice, with at least 10 hours in moderately heavy traffic. If you are under 18 years old , and have not completed driver education training and recieved a student certificate of completion, you are required by law in some states to have a minimum number hours of properly supervised practice driving. To take your road test, you must give the lincese examiner a completed "Certificate of X hours(check for your state) of Driving Experience"available from the DMV Internet Office, by request from a DMV Call Center, and at any motor vehicle office.

2.WHAT TO BRING TO THE TEST
a) Photo learners permit.You also must give your five-hour pre-licensing course completion certificate (MV-278) or your Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285),where applicable.

b) If under 18 years old,and do not have (MV285), you must give the examiner a completed "Certificate of 20 Hours of Driving Experience" (MV-262)

c) The test vechicle must be properly registered, inspected, insured and eveything including seat belts etc. must be in good working conditions. If you decide to drive yourself to the test, you must be accompanied by a driver who is atleast 21 years old with a valid driving license.

3.BE ON TIME
If for some reasons you cant make it there at the scheduled day or time, call your DMV office to reschedule your appointment.DMV may cancel road tests due to bad or poor weather.

4.AT THE ROAD TEST SITE
Be in line at the site and park not too close to the vehicle infront of you, just in case you are tested before the driver ahead of you. Move to the driver's seat when the examiner arrives.Make sure all mirrors are adjusted and seat belt fastened.


5.DURING THE ROAD TEST
The examiner will test your abilities needed in everyday driving and knowledge of traffic laws.During the test, the examiner will point out to you the mistakes and traffic violations you made and give you information on how to correct them.

This is a quick practice guide which when use properly with more information from the DMV office, will help you pass your test hands down.
