    ok guys i got 15 lessons because i had to do the 12 mandatory as im a new driver to the road,got my 15th back in november and today i just got my 16th lesson cause last week i got notice i can book my test which is on april 5th.

    so i got a pretest lesson today my 16th lesson and here are the folowing things she wrote down.


    -right turn to wide

    passing cars no,h no,S

    Make sure to fully stop at stop sign

    Observation on right turn at lights

    postition turning right at light,s

    Observation changing lanes

    Reverse needs work.


    obviously the stop at the stop sign is crucial and it was only one i got caught for as there was no traffic at all from the left or right,but yes stop is stop.

    theres a lot in there to do with the right turning etc,any pointers help or advice would be truly appreciated and from my above prestest results can i be ready to hopefully pass my test in 2 weeks.

    If you're not confident with that many points, that she wrote down, then I'd say you're not ready.

    What you need is lots of practice, in all conditions of traffic, weather and daylight. Watch other cars, see where they yield and position and pause. Watch out for good defensive driving techniques that give you the important feeling of control and awareness and reaction that you need to be a good driver.

    When it comes to the test, exaggerate everything. Don't move your eyes, move your whole head. Don't move your hand, move your whole arm. This lets the tester see clearly where your focus and control is.

    Practice, practice, practice.

    watching other motorist do,half them do not indicate etc so i will concentrate on doing my own stuff right.

    most of what she wrote i think boiled down to turning right and observation,there the most listed above.

    Find out where you're doing the test and look for videos of the routes the testers take so you have some idea what to look out for. Don't be too slow or hesitant, but if you have to be for whatever reason tell the tester why.
