If you are asked if you have a vehicle and you do....LIE when I was 16 I know alot of people you felt discriminated against because they already owned a vehicle even if it's a beater. Drive smart and safe and you'll do fine and try to drive that way after you get your license as well no one hear wants to read about your fist accident. Good luck!!

it's pretty simple, at least here in the us. drive around the block without hitting anything and they give you a license.

When you stop at behind a car (At a light, or sign) make sure you can still see ALL of their tail-lights... Or your considered to close.

Also, at a stop sign. Make sure the intructer can feel the cars weight shift back level, before you start rolling again!

Good luck, common sense outta getcha thru.

Well, I failed. I try again in 2 weeks.
The reason I failed was I did not move over to the right hand side of the road for a right turn. So automatic failure. This in a tiny little town where the curb "lane" is only used for parking. So I didn`t even think of moving over. Apart from that everything else was good. Oh well.

I need to pass next time because there is a concert i`m going to 3 days after that test. So fingers crossed for next time lol.
Now that i know to move over to the right ,next time should be really easy.

Dude the instructor that failed me the first time couldn't fit my seat belt around her. There was no way i was thinken about her clothes on my floor mats lol. I mean im a big guy and had no problem strapping in but i just couldnt imagine that. Id just relax and drive. When the instructor gets in adjust your mirrors again just for Sh*ts and giggles. They say you aren't observant when you dont do that. Good luck
