    hi there have my test tommorow afternoon, have a few things that im just not sure off.

    1. When coming to split speed bumps, 2 on my side of the road, 2 on other side of the road, should i go right over them?, or try and avoid them and drive to the side of the road and go over one?

    2. When on a narrow road, were there is a parked car on the left, i need to go over the split white line to avoid the car, should i indicate around the car?

    3. When on a very narrow road with parked cars, i have to move to the left behind the parked cars to allow cars on other side of the road to move up ( giving the right of way ) when i pull out behind the parked cars should i indicate out even though i havent pulled into a car space?

    4. I have been doing alot of driving and another thing that has me confused is the speed limits, were im doing my test there isnt that many speed signs, if there is no sign on the road should i stick with 50kmh, and only if i see i 60kmh sign i should speed up.

    on some of the roads, the speed limit is 60kmh, but the sign is like half way up the road so i would be unsure on what speed i should go up to that point, i could be brought on roads i have never been on and dont know, so am abit worried about that

    1. not sure on this one. I would imagine that slowing down and going over them is showing the tester you are aware of what they are there for ie to slow traffic down. I cannot see why you would be failed for going over them slowly.

    2. Yes I believe you should indicate the intention to overtake any obstacle on the road especially where it involves part of all of your vehicle going over the line.

    3. again yes I would as you would be / may be indicating your intention to a vehicle behind you who may think you are parked.

    4. If you are sitting the test in your own locality you should be aware of speed limits ie what they are where they start/end etc. However if like my all of nearly 5 years ago you are not sitting your test in your locality err on the side of caution as speeding will not do you any favours.

    Lastly best of luck in your test.
