  • Make sure you do not do critical errors as a single critical error will fail
  • 14 normal errors are permitted
  • While making turns make sure you see in the main mirror and then the side mirror and check Blind spot -
    your examiner will always be making a note of it
  • Even for making a right turn make sure you check your mirrors, if its a red do make a complete stop. In case of signal being green make the turn with a speed that you have control.
  • Always cross one lane at a a time with a 3-4 sec signalling.
  • Make sure you maintain speed limits, NOTE whenever speed limit is not mentioned its mostly the 25MPH zone.
  • Its advised to be always 2/3 miles greater than speed limit, below speed limit is considered blocking the traffic and might be a reason for failing the driving test
  • Always STOP at the stop sign and be behind the white line as this is a critical error
  • Keep good distance from the pedestrians/bikers/cyclists
  • If door of another car is open on your way or someone else is coming out - be prepare to keep more than 4 feet of distance, otherwise you will make a critical error and fail
  • If the examiner is not saying anything it might be that the way is one way and you may see that arrow sign too later :-)
  • While Parking/crossing right lanes make sure you do not touch the curb.

Well said, the toughest part of passing the dmv behind the wheel test is to get issued with a driver’s license.
