NSW driving test (P's) tips/advice

[vsowner94]

Hey everyone, im sitting my driving test in a week and wondering if anyone has any tips or advice to give or some stories. I am confident when driving and capable, parents and family friends say im ready same with my driving instructor and having the lesson before the test, still a bit nervous and curious on what they look for specifically, and yes i have looked in other posts and a bit of help but not a great deal.
thanks

Be sure to always indicate and ALWAYS do head checks. I got failed on head checks my first test. Make them obvious and exagurated as well to make sure they see.

headshecks
and check ur mirrors all the time

Check for 40 school zones, he'll take you through them maybe. Make sure you turn your head when you check your blind spots. Check for cars when turning and give plenty of time for your self. Apart from that all the common stuff. 3 point turn and reverse parking and shiz.

and dont clip any part of a round-a-bout because its an instant fail as my sister found out haha

dont try be to friendly either the guy i had didnt like it jsut be casual ull be right mate it not that hard i still passed and my guy had to stamp the breaks hard only cuase a car crash jsut happend infront of me but it was forgiven as it wasnt a intented part of the test

you already know what you have to do mate, biggest thing for me was the nerves. i stalled 3 times because of them and thought well ive failed now :doh: and all the stress was gone and i drove fine after and ended up passing :yahoo:

so just stay calm and try forget its a test, try get into your head it just another lesson

p.s good luck

Be Sure not to speed, The 1st Instructor failed me, I Knew i was not though. The 2nd time i did the test, they again said i was speeding, so i argued that its not possible to clearly read the display from the passenger seat, term called parallax view, i then walked away with my Ps, Big words work lol
But just relax, indicate, do a million head checks, keep a safe distance, don't hit anything, If you come to a crossing make sure the pedestrian is completely off the crossing, they deduct points for that.
