I have to go for my drivers test bright and early tommorrow!
I am really freaking out over it.
I remembered the basics.... Check blind spots, two hands on the wheel, use turn signals.
The one thing I am not sure on is, when you do the parallel parking can you do the thing where you put your right hand behind the passenger seat and back up that way or do you have to keep two hands on the wheels at all times??
God, I'll probably fail because of how scared i am.

I know it's nerve-racking, but just don't think about it. Take a couple breaths before you get in the car. Also, be sure to get a good night sleep. Other than that, good luck!

Just focus on the road and whats goin on around you and pretend the instructor isn't even there. You will be fine and be a licensed driver after tomorrow.

Just use 1 hand when reversing . If you've ever tried looking backwards and keeping 2 hands on the wheels , you'll know that it's damn near impossible .

Check your mirrors .... check your blind spots .... keep both hands on the wheel .... don't speed ... and you'll do fine .

I took one of my driving tests ( 3 different tests need to be taken in Ontario Canada to get your full unrestricted license) in a damn snow storm . There was about a foot of snow on the roads , I was using my dad's dodge truck and the instructor asked me to parallell park between 2 cars that I figured I couldn't squeeze a small Firefly in . I managed !!!:devil:

You look over your shoulder to check the blind spot. You can't see your blind spot from your mirrors. That's why you got docked for it, and just hope while you're driving you don't try to just change lanes because it seems clear then you smack someone because you didn't check over your shoulder.
