Preparing for the Road Test

Practice Makes Perfect

  • Practice driving in different conditions (city, highway, backing up, parking).
  • Review your pre-trip inspection routine until it becomes second nature.

Day of the Test

  • Arrive early with all your required documents.
  • Stay calm and focused; listen carefully to the examiner's instructions.
  • If you make a mistake, don't panic—correct it safely and move on.

Keep Learning

Every drive is a chance to build your skills!

Examples

  • Completing a full pre-trip inspection before starting the skills test.

  • Practicing parallel parking and alley docking at a training lot with cones.
