Picture the instructor naked.
Driving examiners are not some evil creature, they are really nice people! They will probably just want to chat with you and that should take you mind off the test. Just cruise along the road at 30, no rush and thats it!
Stay calm. There's nothing to it and it'll be over in no time. But, I will tell you to make sure to stop long enough at stop signs. I almost didn't pass mine for that very reason.
dont worry and stress about it you will be fine. if you dont make it you can resit.
In Florida you can be legally blind, unable to read and write English or speak in a clear voice and still be rewarded with a license.
Chew gum to settle your nerves. Memorize the signs, especially those relating to school zones, no passing and the stop sign.
Remember on traffic signals that Red means stop, green means go and yellow or orange means go faster.
Picture the driving instructor in a pair of purple boxers with green poka dots and says "driving instructor" on them..lol..Don't worry you'll do fine..
Confidence is very important.
You can drive, otherwise your instructor wouldn't be wasting your time and money putting you in for your test.
Imagine you have already passed your test and you are just showing the examiner how good you are.
This is a once in a lifetime experience, try to enjoy it.
Good luck. (although with your skills, you won't need it)
years ago my auntie told me to take two paracetamol one hour before the test,i pased first time,ive told several people this over the years and they have all passed,app it calms your nerves,good luck :)
You are not the first or the last person that is nervous on doing a driving test,but try taking some time out of it for a while,try and relax by listening to some calming music,go through your highway code after this,but don't keep doing it,and most of all believe in yourself,and chill out as the more you get yourself in a state the harder it will be,i wish you good luck,but i bet you will pass with flying colours
Since you know the location of the DMV where the test will be held, you can do the following. Keep in mind that it will take some planning ahead on your part but I believe it will help greatly in building your confidence for the test. The more confidence you have on that day, the better you will do on the test.
1. Ask a friend to accompany you in the front passenger seat so that you get used to someone sitting next to you. It is important to find a person who is positive and can encourage you. See below.
2. Drive carefully to the DMV and drive around the area. The reason you want to do this is that often, the DMV instructor will ask you to perform simple driving maneuvers around the local area. Being familiar with the local area will give you more confidence and allow you to identify potential problem areas beforehand like schools and parks, one-way roads, bumpy roads, sudden speed limit change areas, etc.
3. With your friend's encouragement, practice the driving skills which you feel the least comfortable with, such as parallel parking perhaps. Again, do this in the area around the DMV. Your friend can also help you by making sure you understand the road rules by answering your questions, quizzing you on relevant parts of the auto handbook, etc.
4. Start this practice at a time of day when you know there will be less traffic to distract you. Then, as you gain familiarity with the area around the DMV, practice at the time of day when your test will be.
5. Ask yourself "what is the worst that could happen if I fail the test?" Tell yourself repeatedly that you can always re-take the test. If that is all, then it helps in giving you a calmer perspective on the test.
6. Picture your friend in his/her underwear if you wish but this helps when you visualize the DMV instructor.
7. Whatever you do, don't take drugs or alcohol to calm your nerves. You (and everyone else around you) will be much better off driving clean and sober. Sometimes being a little nervous will keep all your faculties sharp.
Best of luck! I know you WILL pass the test.
cancel your test take more lessons and don't go on the roads until you aren't nervous what we don't need is another dangerous driver (if your nervous you are a danger to yourself and others), or just calm down relax and drive the way you have been taught and sail through your test, , but as i stated initially get more lessons, you definitly sound like someone that should take an advanced driving course even if you pass your test before going near a motor way or the result is someone, possibly you, will die or at best get seriously injured
