Q. I'd just like to know where they take you on the road test and what to look out for. My parents don't believe I can do it and I aim to prove them wrong.
Answer
Of course you can do it!! I'm not in Ohio but I am a former dmv examiner and I do have some advice. Check out tip number three in the article that I wrote below.
How to Cheat on Your Driving Test (Well, Okay Not Really...)
by Jeff Kelly
In my last article I discussed five mistakes that are commonly made during the driving test and how to avoid them. In this article, we will focus not on the mistakes themselves but on what is often the underlying cause, fear, and some of the things that you can do to help manage your nerves.
Whether you're heading out to your very first road test or you've already failed more times than Spongebob, nerves are likely to play a big role in whether you come home from the DMV with license in hand or your tail between your legs. The good news is that, although it cannot be eliminated completely, fear can be greatly reduced and successfully managed. Here are five tips that will help you do just that.
1. Know your ride.
It always surprised me as an examiner how many people would attempt their driver's test in a car that was different from the one that they had done most of their learning in. If you are considering this, don't! Although switching vehicles is not a problem for a driver with experience, it can cause difficulty for a newer driver. Each car is a different size. Each car accelerates, brakes and handles differently and provides for different levels of road visibility. If you have practiced in a particular car, use it during the road test.
2. Leave the pimped out '63 Impala at home, player.
You should avoid taking your driving test in a large vehicle if at all possible. Bigger vehicles (SUV's, trucks, vans, station wagons, armored personnel carriers, etc.) are more difficult to maneuver which, in addition to being a problem generally, is a particular issue if your road test includes parallel parking. They also provide less visibility and make it more difficult to judge traffic around you. Finally, and most importantly, larger vehicles tend to make the examiner feel less in control and thus, more nervous. And that's a very bad thing. So, think about the vehicle you're planning on using for the test. If it has a swimming pool in the back, think again.
3. Steal the test routes.
This one is my favorite because it's practically like cheating. Each DMV has a set of fixed routes that it uses and they are all located within a fairly small radius (usually a few miles) around the DMV building. Generally, each route is about the same length and is made up of different combinations of the same limited number of roads. If you can determine which roads are included in the testing routes (something a local driving school may be able to tell you) you can practice extensively on them and become very familiar with the roads on which you will be tested. In fact, you might even consider sitting outside the DMV in your car and simply following people on their road tests. Do this enough times and you'll know all the routes. The best part? There's nothing the DMV can do about it. Hey, it's a free country, right?
4. Know what time it is.
Nothing will put you in a worse mindset than scrambling to the DMV not knowing whether you will be on time for your road test. Ensure that you are ready to go well ahead of schedule. Check to see that you have your learners permit/license with you and that you have your car keys. Make sure that the person who is giving you a ride to the test is reliable and picks you up early and lastly, leave extra time to get there. If you expect that it will take half an hour to get to the DMV, leave home at least 45 minutes before your test. If you live in a city where traffic is unpredictable or there might be a line-up at the DMV when you get there, leave even earlier. The last thing you want is to be heading into your road test in a state of panic.
5. Question Authority.
New drivers often have questions about the rules of the road or what to do in a particular situation that may arise during the test. In addition, they may have heard horror stories of things that have happened to others during their tests or received conflicting advice from friends about the testing process. If you have any questions whatsoever, the examiner will be happy to answer them before the test and you should not hesitate to ask. However, keep in mind that once the car is in motion, the examiner's role is simply to direct you around the test route and observe your driving. While the road test is in progress, the examiner will not normally answer questions unless they relate to a clarification of the instructions that he or she is giving you.
A great man once said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" (or something like that). I believe it might have been Churchill. Or maybe it was MC Hammer. Whatever. The point is that there is really not a lot to fear if you are relaxed and well prepared. Remember the five tips outlined above and you should be well on your way. Good luck and good driving!
