I FAILED MY DRIVING TEST AGAIN

[kenhung123]

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.

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.

No wonder its booked out 2 months in advance..

if it makes you feel better, my friend has failed it 4 times

[Menang]

All this driving test failure is making me worried for when I actually finish the 120 hours. :S

My friends who ARE 18 always go for the driving school "pre-test" lessons. Apparently that goes through everything you need to know that's specific to the test (that's more than just good driving).

[zhenzhenzhen]

lol, I figure since the cost of lessons + instructor car on test day can go up to like $300+ ez, i can afford to fail it like 6 times if I do it myself lol.

just annoying I cant keep trying the next day with bloody 2 months booking waiting periods in between

and yeah Chavi, y so aggressive lol. always good to read about / find out stuff early

I only had 2 lessons and that was at the end of year 10, so no you don't need a pre-test lesson prior to the test, you just have to be a good driver.

It's honestly not that difficult. If you know how to drive you should pass.
Stay 5 kms under, read the signs and constantly check the back mirror, occasionally the sides.
I got 98 % because i'm special.

Muaha

[zhenzhenzhen]

im good at failing by immediate termination while not losing any points

[98.40_for_sure]

zhen... if you've failed that many times, just catch the bus lol too many people die on the roads

Really? I'm just mainly worried about the small stuff like the order of doing things

[_avO]

The 'order of things' should be second nature by now. But if you must know:

Merging/Lane change: Check rear mirror, signal, check appropriate side mirror, headcheck, merge, unsignal once your car is positioned in the middle of the new lane

3 Point turn: Check rear mirror, signal left, station next to the kerb, check rear mirror, signal right, check right side mirror, headcheck, turn right into kerb, check both sides of the car, reverse out, station next to the kerb, check mirrors, signal right and drive off

Left turn (give way intersection): Station car facing left (i.e. front wheels are directed to the left), check intersections, drive into intersection when there's a safe gap

Reverse parallel parking: Signal left as you slow down next to the parked car, check rear mirror, headcheck, reverse behind car

Turning right from the median strip: Check for oncoming traffic, accelerate and headcheck again for safety measures

I agree its not hard.
Just  check your mirrors regularly  and drive under the speed limit.
Btw what have the failed u on??
Also Avos point should also be taken.

[Visionz]

quit bitching. at least you have enough hours to sit the test.

[mandy]

My test is this Friday and now I'm even more scared. I still can't park LOL.
And headchecks are just pure evil

[francis8nho]

don't worry my girlfriend didn't pass till the 5th time

[Mao]

don't worry my girlfriend didn't pass till the 5th time

How is that a 'don't worry'? That's more like a 'WORRY MOAR, WORRY MUCH MUCH MOAR'.

The most important thing is to act confident and don't freak out. They're assessing whether or not you can handle yourself on the road, a little bit of confidence as the first impression goes a long way to helping them pass you.
