So what I want to do today is give you a good understanding of what to expect on a driver's

road test, and give you some tips on how to pass the test.

And the test is basically a series of turns, some rights, and some lefts, and then two

maneuvers, a broken U-turn, and parallel parking.

So for the right turn, where we'll start, the basic idea for the right turn is that

you're going to have your car over to the right side of the lane that you're on and

you're going to make sure you make the turn into the right lane of the street that you're

going onto. Pretty much no guesswork in a right turn. It's always the same, from right

to right at all times. Right lane to right lane.

The left turn is a lot trickier. And the left turn is the one that may get you on that road

test. And the reason for the left turn being trickier is because you've got some decisions

to make on the left. Do I make the turn into this lane or that lane? That will be determined

whether or not that's a one-way or a two-way street. So you're ability to recognize that

What are some of the ways you can tell? A one-way street typically will have a sign

on either corner. If you see a sign it's usually a one-way. It'll have an arrow on it. Therefore,

the rule of thumb on the turns being closest to the available lane, if you see the one-way

sign, the turn has to go into the left lane. If the street doesn't have a sign and it has

a line down the middle, you can tell by the color of the line whether or not it's a one-way

or a two-way. A white line would indicate one-way street. Again, you'll make your turn

onto the left side. A yellow line indicates a two-way street, which means that you've

got to make the turn out to the right side of the street.

The most difficult one will be the street that doesn't have the line on it. The way

you can tell on a street like that, look for the direction of the parked cars. If they're

parked in opposite directions, that's going to indicate a two-way street. Remember your

rule of thumb, you choose the closest available lane, and you're going to swing out to the

right. This is the turn that typically tricks people the most on the road test.

Your two maneuvers are a parking, and a broken U-turn. Broken U-turn real simple, you just

pull over against the curb on the right, put your indicator on. The whole idea is to take

your car from the right side here, bring it across to the other side, then you're going

to back up, and then you're going to go back the same way you came on that roadway.

My tip for this is when you're doing the backing part, you don't want to back up all the way

to the other curb, because usually when you do that you come out on the wrong side of

The other maneuver is the parallel parking. Don't worry so much about it. You get a big

space to park, and as long as you look back and go back slowly, it shouldn't be a problem

And that's it. That's your road test. Usually six turns, three rights, three lefts, a park,

a broken U-turn, and it's over in about 10 minutes.
