Well it's come
any tips or suggestions? Any stupid things people do often during tests I should watch out for? Dont turn too wide, dont go over the speed limit, start to slow down well before the turn, use blinker always, even when in the parking lot and parallel parking and parking on hill thing. Any others? |

Just follow all the rules you learned in driver's ed. and you'll be fine. Don't speed or run red lights or run over curbs, or you automatically fail. But it's really easy to pass, at least in Washington, so don't stress over it.

tss, ur lucky yoyr not living in ontaio, you need to give an arm and a leg just to get one. The only advice i can give you is to not be nervous, just be calm, just stick to whatever you learned and you'll be fine.

Look for signs. Do Not Turn On Red will usually get rookies.

When you go into intersections of any sort, exaggerate turning your neck to check your blindspots. Even in a little subdivision where your going straight through a T intersection and you dont have to stop...look everywhere. Thats my first 5 points I got off.
I was in a turning lane and the arrow turned yellow when i was a bout a car length behind the stop line....stop for yellows if you safely can, i could have, thats 5 more pts. There was 1 other point i got off....dont remember what it was for but Im sure you will be fine. Good luck |

As long as I have done it before the weekend, i'll be happy. Just getting me to go is hard as hell, I need alot of motivation to get me to go. I fear failing |

i still havent got my regualr license yet, i get it april 5th iam looking forward to start driving the celica, iam guess in florida youre lucky because you if you take drivers Ed and you do good they give you a waver where when you do to the DMV you show them a pink slip and they give you a license, and also parallel parking isnt required here to pass even though we practiced when i was in drivers Ed...But good luck man just be confindent and cool, try to act like you dont even know the guy is there
