What should be paid attention to during the road test?

Precautions for the road test: 1. Pay attention to the driving route and speed control of the car; 2. Pay attention to the use of car lights; 3. During the test, be sure to listen clearly to the examiner's instructions and avoid excessive nervousness, especially slow down when approaching intersections and obstacles; 4. Pay attention to traffic signals during the test and do not run red lights; 5. When parking by the roadside, first slow down and steer to the right, turn on the right turn signal, apply the brakes to slow down the speed, and press the clutch to stop the car steadily. The road test generally includes preparation for getting on the car, light simulation, starting and driving straight, gear operation, lane changing, etc. During the test, there are two opportunities. If both opportunities fail, you need to wait for ten days before scheduling the test again.
I just passed my driving test not long ago, and the most crucial thing during the road test is to stay relaxed and not nervous. Practice more to get the feel, especially ensuring smooth starts and stops. The examiner values safety details, such as checking mirrors and blind spots before turning, stopping before the line at red lights. Control your speed appropriately—not too fast or too slow—and maintain a following distance of about one or two car lengths. Also, don’t forget to use your turn signals, activating them at least three seconds before turning. When parking, choose a spot that doesn’t block traffic, and reverse slowly while looking back. I passed on my second attempt; the first time, I was too nervous and stalled twice, but taking deep breaths helped the second time. Practice maneuvers in an empty lot to get familiar, and don’t panic when the examiner gets in the car—just drive as usual. Remember, the examiner is assessing your safety habits, not trying to trip you up. In short, repeated practice and staying calm are key. Once you pass the road test, continue prioritizing safety on the road, building good habits from the very start.
