How to Pass a Basic Vehicle Control Skills Test Without It Being Overwhelming
>> Jun 4, 2014
Everyone
shudders when they are faced with having to pass a basic vehicle control skills
test. It's actually nerve wracking
enough to cause even some older drivers who have let their licenses expire
running to brush up on their driving
lessons.
But
it doesn't have to be that way. Here are
some rules to follow in order to avoid having to dash off to one of those my
driving school places, with the instructor's name on the door.
Vehicle Rules
1.
You will be tested in your own vehicle, or whatever car
you drive to the Motor Vehicle Department in.
Be sure you are familiar with it.
Know where everything is located and how to put it into action. This includes the parking brake and even the
windshield wipers and washer, the heater and defroster etc.
2. Be sure that all the equipment in your
vehicle is operating correctly. There
will be no excuses accepted for defective or missing equipment.
Before You Start Driving
1.
Before you even get into the car you'll be driving you
should have taken note of nearby parked cars, people, or objects that would
hinder the safe movement of your car. It
always pays to be observant.
2.
Once you are seated in the car adjust your seat and the
steering wheel if necessary so that you will be sitting straight behind the
wheel with your back against the seat and your feet able to easily reach the
foot controls.
3. The car windows and inside and outside
mirrors should be clean and adjusted so that you have a clear view to the rear
with minimal blind spots.
4.
Fasten the seatbelt.
The Test
Taking
the actual test itself is almost like getting driving lessons again, as you are
graded on every move you make and could find yourself headed to that place with
the sign my driving school if you don't perform properly.
1.
Follow directions exactly.
2.
Use the brake before shifting the car into gear from
the Park position. A sudden start is not
the best way to begin your driving test.
3.
Try to make the shift smoothly and then accelerate
slowly. Always keep in mind that you
must keep control of the vehicle. Still,
don't take too long to get the car going at the speed it would use on the
road. And while you are out on the road,
pay attention and be sure you keep the car going near the speed limit. A little under or over is usually acceptable,
but don't go too slow or too fast.
4. Use your turn signals every time you make a
turn and you will also be expected to show you know hand signals. You might think this is unimportant as you
probably will never use them, but it matters.
Above
all don't obsess. Your vehicle control
skills test will most likely turn out just fine if you only stay calm and
remember what you've learned.
