is passing a DMV driving test hard?

Question

Like what stuff do they ask you? im goign to take my driving test soon, and i'm getting nervous

Answer 1

Hope you had lots of practice. To me the test is not hard, to one of my friends, they had to take it 17 times before they passed. Patience, calmness, and common sense will help you out a lot, especially if you have STUDIED!!!!

Good luck.

Answer 2

Well, you can't make lots of errors and still pass. A particular passenger driving test can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. If you prove to the examiner that you are a safe driver within the first few minutes, the test will be that short. If you mess up on certain things such as the broken u-turn or parking, they will have you do it again. When I took my test I only made one left, right, and broken u-turn. I had to park twice because I almost touched the curb the first time, it was only 5 minutes. If the examiner is not sure about your skills right away they will have you repeat the questionable manuevers again just to make sure. They know perfectly well that most people are nervous and take it into account, but being nervous is no excuse for unsafe driving. If you remember to use your signals, turn your head when changing or pulling out and give the right away, you will be fine. There is no written test since you already took it to get your permit, the examiner will tell you where to drive in time for you to correctly make the turn or stop safely. Just drive about 5 mph below the speed limit and constantly check your mirrors. Good luck!!

They first check out the car, she if she knows what all the things do and how to operate everything. Then they start you off slow. See how smooth you accelerate and stop. Do you stop 3 feet behind the line? Do you inch your way forward after you stop at a stop sign. Are you speeding. How are your hands places. Do you look "in control" when driving the car. Do you use your mirrors effectively while driving and especially look in the mirror when about to change lanes. They take you through protected right's and unprotected left turns to see if you know what to do. Then they make you back up. You have to back up about 50 feet absolutely straight. Then they drive around for about 3 more minutes and then take you back to the DMV to see if you passed.

It's actually really not that bad. I think the permit test might be harder than the road test, because you're hands on experiencing it. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Answer 4

Requirements vary by state and even county. Mine was rather simple, it involved driving around a few quiet suburb streets. Parallel parking is involved, as well as a 3 point turn. The people who fail are usually the ones that panic too much and do something stupid. Don't speed, don't break any traffic laws, that's immediate failure, as is forgetting a seatbelt. Be confident and you should be fine.

Answer 5

Do a lot of driving in the car PRIOR to testing. Know your book thoroughly and ALL the state rules. Be confident and be calm. You will do fine. I took my drivers test in 1949 but it was the same just the standard shift was different.

Answer 6

It wasn't hard for me.. I think if you consider yourself a safe driver, chances are you will make it.. In a parallel parking you enter back first not head first... make a full stop at stop signs and look both ways, signal lane changes and dont exceed speed limit.... If you can obey state laws and road signs you should be fine.....

Answer 7

It depends on the tester. They won't ask you to do anything different that you havn't already studied in your book. Just drive with confidence, signal as you are suppose to. and drive like you are going to a fire.

Answer 8

Just look around at all the idiots on the road. It can't be too hard. Just relax and don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
