best way to ensure an a Is to give the driving instructor and hj. Or if you really want to seal the deal just let him stick his fingers in your bum.

Oh god, I worried so much and it was BEYOND EASY. Honestly, don't even worry about it. It's really easy and short. If you don't pass the first time you just plain suck dick at driving and you already sound like you're pretty confident in your abilities, so don't worry. It'll be easy.

Actually not bad advice. This will relax you and will help you drive a little slower. However a bowl won't be enough I'd say 3 or 4 bowls oughta do it.

For some people it helps to just go in and fail the shit out of it if they are that nervous. Then its like, well that's the worst thing that can happen.. and then they kill it the second time. But honestly the drive test is so insanely easy. Look at all the retard Asians on the road today, they somehow made it through and so can you. The only thing that will cause you to fail is nerves. So just visualize how happy you are going to be when you pass right before the test.

5-10 minutes? Your guy's state requirments are weird.

I drove for about 45 minutes around town, merged onto the expressway, parrel parked downtown, then went back and I was done. It's exactly like driving with your parents except they try to trick you a little by going in places where the speed changes a lot (For me at least). So just pay attention to the signs and you'll be fine. It's just driving.

Yeah, this is what happened to me. They made me drive through a suburban neighborhood for a couple minutes and parallel park once. I also had to do a three-point turn. Then I passed. Easy as pie, don't sweat it. Assuming you know how to parallel park (which is easy), you're golden.

Mine actually took 5 minutes or less. I crossed a street, turned around, and came back to the parking lot. Nothing they told me would be on the test was on my test.

exaggerate your motions to make him notice, ex: when looking at the mirrors.

If you are a good driver your going to pass it. If your a shitty driver, your still probably going to pass it.

Some of these responses have confirmed why so many young people are such awful drivers.

I took mine the morning after it snowed like 6 inches, I was nervous as fuck. Did everything perfect though, parallel parking and 90 degree back ups are the easiest things in the world. The entire test took like 10 minutes. Aced that shit. Felt good driving to school hahaha

the test is very easy, however as you're leaving the DOL or whatever make sure to crash into your driving instructor as he goes back inside.

You'll be absolutely fine. Just remember, Know the school zones, go the limit Shoulder check obsessively Check rear view mirror often Complete stops Don't signal to somebody it's safe for them to go at a 4 way stop, you're liable Don't park next to a fire hydrant Know hazards if they ask-bullshit like gravel, hidden driveways, telephone poles.. Two hands on the wheel Honestly, unless you're an idiot, you'll get it done. Good luck buddy

American driving test's are almost a guaranteed pass. If you fail and it wasn't because you were anxious or nervous, you don't deserve to be driving.

The only thing that is semi nerve racking is parallel parking, and my friend just said he wasn't doing it and only got 9 points off. SO you can just not do that part and still pass easily.

What really helps is confidence. You can show your instructor how confidant you are by not putting your seatbelt on when you start the test

If you know how to drive, and you go into the test knowing that you know how to drive, you will pass.

That is what my drivers ed instructor told me at least.

He also said not to fuck up because it would look bad on the company. So idk I kept that in mind and I passed

in america is the "standard" test an automatic test or manual considering how popular automatics are over there?
