To ask for your driving test tips?

[slothgirl00]

Got my test tomorrow, hoping for 3rd time lucky! Doing it in an automatic for the first time, but still feeling a tad nervous.

Does anyone have any good tips/stories?

I don't have any tips but just try and keep your cool. if it's raining then maintaiin a good distance from the car in front.

I passed on an automatic but my instructor always said you have to be perfect at everything else as you don't have worry about clutch control and gears. Don't mean to panic you any further.
Good luck!
Don't forget to take the paperwork (provisional licence and I'd) with you!

Make it obvious that you are checking your mirrors, as in move your whole head. I got marked down for that on my test but I was checking, but they couldn't tell as I must have only been moving my eyes

Don't drink too much caffeine before the test. Try and strike up a chat with the examiner - made me feel much more relaxed. Pay attention to road signs especially speed (I had a bit of a lead foot and was asked to pull over before being driven back to the test centre...oops!). Check all your lights work before the test.

Eat a banana right before the test.
