Has anyone ever taken their road test in the rain?

I have my road test next week, and the day I am supposed to take it, it's supposed to rain. I am nervous as it is, and add rain to the scenario is worse. Should i really be worried about the rain? will it really effect it, even when i haven't really driven in the rain before? (they don't take us on the road...just the course, so i will only be driving at the max 15mph).

You'll be fine. I took mine in an honest-to-gosh Michigan snowstorm. It was a good chance to impress the officer :)

Enjoy, and try not to worry. How often do the weather people actually make accurate predictions a week away, anyway?

I live in Canada and I took my test in a late Spring snow squall. No big deal as I had been driving since I was 13 years old. If I had been a novice I probably would have cancelled as that option was made available.

BTW - i passed.

Come shine or rain, road tests are a pain. Little poetry there (lol)

Seriously, the big things for testing in the rain are -
Make sure the windshield defroster is working
Head, tail, brake and turn lights are in working order. Have the headlights on if looks like it may rain.
Insure that the windshield wipers are functioning and not streaking.

For city driving, you'll want your speed to be pretty close to the posted speed limit. Increase your following distance a little bit more. If you go out on the highway, keep your speed between 55 and 60. Even at those speeds, you will see vehicles disappear in front of you from tire spray. Again, increase the following distance. Take your time.

All the best.

In Calif., you are required to have your headlights on when the wipers are on.
Otherwise, just drive more slowly.
