I remember when I was preparing for my driver's license test for the first time, it all started with choosing a driving school. I had to find a reputable place recommended by friends to enroll, and then quickly started practicing for the theory test (Subject 1). I downloaded a driving test app and practiced questions every day, memorizing traffic rules—never slacking off. The theory exam had many tricky questions, like details about speeding penalties, which I had to thoroughly understand. Then came the practical lessons, practicing reversing into parking spaces and parallel parking every day. The coach would criticize if the positions weren't standard, so I didn’t rush to drive on actual roads but kept practicing in the training area until it became muscle memory. For registration materials, I brought my ID card, photos, and a medical report, going to a designated hospital to test my vision and hearing to ensure they met the standards. Booking the exam early online saved me from long queues. Keeping a calm mindset was crucial—being too nervous could lead to mistakes. I often practiced with family members to chat and relieve stress. After passing, I didn’t think it was the end; the novice period has a high accident rate, so I drove slowly to gain experience. On the road, I developed the habit of checking mirrors frequently—safety first! Never speed or play with your phone; it’s best to keep your phone in your pocket and consider buying a car navigation system for assistance.
