My drivers test is tomorrow and I'm freaking out!?

Lady Loves Outdoors

ever watch the brady bunch?

i'll share with u the advice greg gave marsha when she was having anxiety over her test that was scheduled for the following day ..

greg told marsha to just think of the driving test person as sitting there in their underwear .. (lol)

the show went on to show marsha getting to the begining of her driving test and yes she was anxious then out walks this older man and she remembers what greg told her and she laughs and proceeds to loose all anxiety and successfully past her test. (lol)

thing is .. ur going to do fine .. ur ready and u'll pass .. and yes we have all been there before and can tell u that it will be over in no time at all .. just be confident and if necessary .. vision the test person sitting there in their underwear .. (lol)

good luck.

Deep breaths :-), and leave the house early enough that you can stop for coffee or something else along those lines beforehand - don't be rushed right before the test. Just remind yourself that you've done it all before - now there's just someone else in the passenger seat. Remember, the examiner is far more likely to let little mistakes slip by if you appear calm and confident behind the wheel - they want to pass people who drive safely, not perfectly.

Good luck tomorrow!

first, breathe

second, if you fail, you'll survive (and can re-test)

third, smile

fourth, dress comfy..you aren't there to impress them with your attire after all

fifth, make sure the car is clean, no drinks or food are around and pop some gum in your mouth so give you something to do

sixth...you can't look too much, better to be safe than sorry

good luck!

Just chill. Its not like the dmw person is a monster or something? Just make sure you keep both hands on the wheel at all times, look out for pedestrians, and go slow on school areas. Another thing, make sure that on stops (stop signs) stop before the line first, if you cant see if you're clear then u can get a lil closer but always stop before the line first. Best of luck!

It was really pretty easy, went through a roundabout, parrallel parked, parked around a corner and changed lanes and that was it. I thought I bombed so hard core because I totally failed parallel parking (stupid cones) but I passed just fine. Its gonna be ok. I was freaked out of my pants too but it was all ok. If you know the rules of the road your gonna be fine.

BREATHE.........BREATHE..........BREATHE...
Just tell yourself you'll do alright and not to worry about it.

you'll do fine, the most thing that people screw up on is either the three point turn or the parallel parking part. A wide turn is like 3 -5 pts off. The most you can get before failing is like 16-19 points, over that you failed already. Take it easy, drink a sobe drink before the test and just drive as you been doing. Be careful on the 3 point turn and be extra careful on the parallel parking. If you think your doing terrible on the parallel parking you get a chance to fix it, after that your on your own. You''ll do fine.

dont think too much. know the rules and follow them but just pretend your driving just like regular and dont endanger the person giving the test and you'll be fine. good luck

Well I dont know any words I could say that would make this event less monumental, hense nerve racking for ya... except that when you fail... U can just go back in a few weeks and try again in most states.

Perhaps have a parent or older relative at least 21, take you out to give you a "rehearsal test" so they can watch your maneauvers and see how you handle being asked to make certain lane changes, turns, etc. They can then advise you.

For wide turns... I imagine that means switching lanes to the right while at a turn in an intersection... If thats it just imagine the layout while you turn as if the lines continued through the intersection. (sometimes they actually do in cities)

Do NOT smoke a cigarette just before OR ESPECIALLY DURING THE TEST

Driving is not that hard, you're freaking out for no reason. Just pay attention to what you're doing and you'll be fine. Make sure before you pull out you check your mirrors and signal that you're pulling out. Its not hard. They just ask you to drive around, stop at a light, take a few turns, then go back.

First of all take a deep breath
Everyone is nervous about this. The only advice I can give you is pretend you are driving a friend home and they are giving you directions.
Concentrate on one thing at a time, when you are coming to a stop look at the stop line and focusing on stopping and then do your checks (mirrors and blind spots.)
It will be okay just do your best

Don't worry about it, take it slow, do what your instructer says. Talk to him/her, they do this all day, ask them about that. How many times a day, is it always the same, do any others talk or ask questions about this, what got you started on being a driver's instructer???

Make it as comfortable as you can. Worrying always makes it worse.

Good luck, I hope you do fine, and feel good through out!

If you think your going to do something wrong remember this " You and you alone are in control of the vehicle, Its up to you to decide what you should do for the safety of pedestrians and whoever is in your car. If you think your going to do something wrong, stop and correct yourself. Show the instructor that your in charge lol good luck and have fun...

if you know all the rules and know what you are doing then you will be fine

If you know the book and the rules, how to start the car and stop, stay within your lane, signal when you are about to make a turn, and set the brake and turn off the engine when finished you should have no problem. You should have been practicing all these moves including horizontal parking so they are not new. If you did practice and did so satisfactorily, no sweat. Just drive as you are told.

bungee

you either know how to drive or you don't.

NOOO!!!

Don't worry at worst you can only fail!

i have an exercise my psychiatrist taught me to help with my chronic anxiety. 30 minutes before you go to take your test, take a bandana and wrap it around your eyes so you cant see, then take an unwrapped banana and see how far you can shove it down your throat without gagging. it works really well.

First you HAVE TO CHILL. I freaked out my first time and failed. Just trust yourself that you CAN do it and you'll be fine. Listen to some happy music before you go and take a DEEP BREATH before you start.

smoke a cig before you get in the car to calm your nerves down

The driving test is so freaking easy you'd have to be a total moron to fail it. Think about it, all sorts of terrible drivers pass why wouldn't you?
