Be confident not cocky! Keep your hands at 10 and 2, don't look at the gear knob, stay just under the speed limit but not too far under (i had a mate fail cause he went too slow ) try and make friends with the person that is taking you on the test.

Basically drive properly!

[me217]

the driving part i dont really hav a problem with as i have bin driving for a couple years around the farm, its the road rules and stuff like unmarked intersections. and remembering shoulder checks.
(i get to do my test in a wrx sti turbo. pity i cant use the turbo tho )

The testers aren't allowed to trick you in any way, so unmarked intersections should be fine... If its an unbroken line, stop, if its a broken line give way to the person right of you. At stop signs stop for a count of three, don't just pause. Head check basically whenever you indicate but also remember to use all of you mirrors constantly!

But really, if you can't obey the road rules already, the road isn't the best place for you! I certainly feel less safe knowing that you don't have much road rules practice but heaps of driving hours!

[me217]

i know most the road rules its just that i forget to slow down abit for the unmarked intersections.

What do you actually mean by "unmarked intersections"?

[me217]

unmarked intersection is one that has no signs or lines on the road.

Ceej, I wouldn't worry too much, he's from Qld.
We all know queenslanders don't know the road rules.

[gremlin]

It's true.

[me217]

i got mine yesty just relax !! the only thing i got marked slighty down for was hesitating too long at an intersection cause i was looking the other way to my marker n by the time i looked over i didnt think it was a very good idea manual and all i didnt wanna show her racing starts

[me217]

my instructor always sat 10 k ova the limit even in thru the roadworks.
that wrx has a bit of power.
now all i gotta do is get my boy on the road.
