Nope if you've been steadily driving since you were 16 then it should be a breeze

HINT: Apparently your supposed to drive 5k's under the speed limit cause from the passenger seat's angle, it looks as if your speeding if your driving at the limit.

good luck!

Seriously, Sunshine is terrible. crazy roads, crazy peds, crazy traffic...

and today i found out: crazy road signs!

there was a 60 sign on the right side of the road, and then apparently a 40 sign about 2 secs later on the left side, half hidden

didnt help that the tester told me to switch to the right lane at the same moment too! grr

so obv i went at 55 and failed for speeding 5 seconds later

Shouldn't the instructor be aware of that?

^ I learned that the hard way. Or maybe I had a strict test driver person. Oh well, I can drive now at least. =.=

do not, I repeat, DO NOT drive at the speed limit during your test. If the speed limit is 60, drive between 50-55. You will be overtaken by about a gajillion cars, but do NOT be tempted to speed up.

And also, make sure you read EVERY road sign -- even the half hidden ones. The day before, make sure you drive around the area and earmark all of the hidden signs behind trees and bushes and the like.

Dandenong vicroads @ 8:30am is the best. Really easy, light traffic, local and main roads are massive, the speed limit is either local:50km/h or main:80km/h so there's no confusion there. There are no odd road signs that you've never seen before either

Don't drive 10ks under the limit on an open road, that will just irritate the tester because they know you're doing it deliberately to cover yourself for a 40 zone.

5ks under and just watch for signs.

Just use a car with a digital speedo... one with a stiff pedal so you can hold 45/55/75 even if you slip for a second. And oakleigh is best known for it's easy test routes.
