So on monday, I'm taking my drivers test.
Any suggestions? I'm kinda freaking out about it.
Well, if you're taking the test, you're obviously better than I. Good luck.
Don't panic. Trust me, panicking will only mess you up. Just remain calm. The questions are basically common sense, you don't even need to study to pass it. Also, this (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/interactive/tdrive/exam.htm) site has a lot of sample tests. Yes, you can expect at least one of the questions from those samples to be on your test, whether you are from CA or not.
Stay calm, pay attention, and use your turn signals ahead of time (the turn signals caused me to fail the second time), like before you begin braking (the person said I was using them too late...). And hover around the speed limit (maybe even stay a little under the limit, which was no problem for me).
Oh, and always use your turn signals before parallel parking and when you're exiting the parallel parking spot. I failed the first time because that's (evidently) a violation.
So, yeah, it took me three times because of such minor squabbles. They're picky people.
If you have to do parallel parking, make sure you got it down. I don't know about you but here, if you hit the curb then it's an automatic fail and you're most likely to do that when parallel parking. That's how I failed my first driving test.
p.s. Don't freak out IF you fail. There's always next time. ;)

Oh, I never knew about that. I never have curbed it when parallel parking...
And yes there is always next time...

that doesn't seem likely. How are you supposed to go anywhere or walk anywhere xD
Holy intercourse ing poop.
I'm taking this in a bit over 12 hours :O
its easy as intercourse if, even a halfway decent driver could pass it easily. I never practiced any of the poop on the test and passed my first time, plus it was pouring down rain during my test.

o.
i thought maybe you were like the rest of us :O
don't crash and don't turn the radio on.
-Headlights on when it's cloudy or raining
-Always use your turn signal when you turn or lane change (though you should always be doing this, and if I was the driving instructor, I'd auto-fail anyone that didn't)
-No more than 3-4 MPH over the speed limit. Better if you're at or under.
-Radio off.
-NO CELL PHONES!! Turn the intercourse ing thing off before the test even begins. (Same thing, if anyone answered their phone during the test, I'd auto-fail them)
-You may or may not be required to parallel park depending on where you live (city, probably; rural area, probably not)
-Both hands on the wheel at all times unless you're signaling or something along those lines.

Oh gawd, i'd have to put a bullet through my brains D:
Nah i'm just kidding :3.
But i'm serious about the never going outside or else i'd be arrested :|
I failed :/

Like we all said, there's always next time...
First off, if at all, what did the person testing you say what you did wrong? Take that into consideration.
Second of all, those people are picky. It's their JOB to be picky. Don't put that against them unless they were being a vagina cleaning device about it...
Third of all, don't focus ONLY on what you did wrong, or you'll mess up on something else. Trust me on that one x_x

Yeah that all cost me to fail. It took me three times as well.
I turned into a two way from a one way....into the wrong lane xD
Both my parkings were perfect (shockingly, that was what i was most worried about)
and i guess i didn't look over my shoulder once when i should have.

You guys just ruined everything.
I actually wouldn't have had to take the driver's test if had I taken driver's ed a couple weeks later than I actually took it.
Retaking November 23rd.
I want my driver's license :(
Oh. I passed my second time around, so you all know. Fairly easily too. He reminded me of all the stuff i did wrong last time and I got it easily :D
