Taking the driving test to get your driver’s license can be a stressful process. Therefore, being well prepared for the test is key to passing and obtaining your DMV license.
To get a driver’s license in the United States, you need to pass a written test and a driving test.
The written exam will consist of answering a series of questions about the laws of the road, including the meaning of certain signs, while the practical exam tests driving skills.
You will ride in the car with a DMV officer who will determine if you passed the test or not.
Depending on which state you live in, your driving test will consist of you driving in a parking lot or on a road such as a residential street or highway.
The examiner will ask you to perform a series of tasks, such as changing lanes with your turn signal, parking your car, and putting on the emergency brake.
These are some of the most common mistakes made when taking the driving test, according to experts.
ERRORS IN THE THEORETICAL DRIVING TEST
Most people do not thoroughly study traffic regulations, especially road signs, and are unable to identify specific signs just by their shape and color, according to information from DMV officials given to NBC Chicago via email from the press officer of Illinois Secretary of State Leen Yassine.
He adds that license applicants sometimes “don’t read the entire question and all possible answers for each question before selecting an answer,” so you can get confused when answering.
COMMON MISTAKES IN THE PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST
Ignoring traffic signs during the driving test is one of the most frequently made mistakes on tests, agree the Illinois Secretary of State and David Bonilla, an instructor at the new driving schoolwhich has been operating in Chicago for about 40 years.
Not respecting the Stop sign and not stopping the car for at least five seconds before moving forward Ignoring traffic signs and not respecting them. Failing to stop at a red traffic light. Not stopping at a crosswalk and prohibiting a pedestrian from crossing. Ignore the yellow light and do not anticipate the time to stop. Failing to use turn signals or directional lights when necessary. Going over curbs when turning or parking uphill or downhill. Violating posted speed limits, including driving so slow as to interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Driving with one hand, instead of having both on the wheel. When parking, use the vehicle’s camera, instead of the rearview mirrors or look in reverse. Losing control of the vehicle when making turns.
Preparing before taking the written and practical tests will be key to getting your license approved, according to experts. So Bonilla recommends avoiding getting nervous. “We tell the students at our school to drive like any other time,” he said.
Experts recommend reading the traffic rules and being familiar with the vehicle that will be used in the driving test. Also, get an instruction permit so you can practice driving before the day of the test.
