• When entering your vehicle, you must firstly adjust your mirrors, even if they are already perfectly aligned, and then be prepared to use your hazards lights, windshield wipers, defroster and emergency brake.
• Always stay within the speed limit, particularly when going up and down hills. This reinforces to the examiner that you are capable of controlling your vehicle.
• Maintain your lane position. Keeping your car or truck steady in your lane and at a safe following distance from other vehicles reiterates to the examiner that you are in control.
• Accelerate slowly and gradually ease into stops and always have two hands on the steering wheel – preferably at the 10 to 2 position.
• Exaggerate movements when checking blind spots, adjusting mirrors and checking traffic while exiting from a parallel parking space.
• Use a turn signal at all times, even when in parking lots and especially when entering or exiting parallel parking spots.
• Take your time when parallel parking and performing three-point turns. Examiners do not penalize you for taking your time.
• If you make contact with a cone in the skills test area, continue performing the task at hand without pausing or stopping, but acknowledge your mistake if you notice. Often examiners only fail students for completely knocking over a cone.
• When reversing, turn your head to see where you are going. Simply using your car mirrors does not suffice. Also, when reversing for an extended distance, make sure to look over your right shoulder.
• Finally, remember to practice before, stay calm during, and give a sigh of relief after your road test.

Good luck – if you follow these steps you will pass with flying colors!!
