It will definitely be hot to take the driving test in summer. Here are some precautions for the driving test: 1. Don't forget to release the handbrake when starting: Whether the handbrake was pulled when parking before or not, you should always release the handbrake when getting in the car to start. 2. Fasten the seat belt when getting in the car: Good habits start with fastening the seat belt. It is advised that students develop the good habit of fastening the seat belt as soon as they get in the car from now on. 3. Don't forget to pull the handbrake when parking: This issue is the same as fastening the seat belt. 4. Don't forget to shift to neutral when getting out of the car: Forgetting to shift back to neutral or P gear after parking may cause the engine to stall at best, and if you also forget to pull the handbrake, it may cause the car to surge forward at the parking position, resulting in losses for yourself.
Last month I practically got sunburned at the driving school. The moment I sat in the instructor's car, it felt like stepping into an oven—the steering wheel was so hot that even wearing ice sleeves couldn't help. With little shade at the driving school, sweat dripped into my eyes while waiting in line for tests. However, the instructor was experienced and started classes as early as 7 a.m. daily to avoid peak heat. I recommend bringing a small fan and cooling patches, and wearing quick-dry clothes. Actually, practicing driving in summer has its perks: fewer rainy days mean fewer interruptions, and many driving schools even serve mung bean soup to help students beat the heat.
As a veteran instructor with ten years of experience teaching students, I recommend avoiding midday sessions when signing up in summer. Our driving school schedules key subjects between 6 AM to 9 AM in the morning and after 4 PM in the afternoon. Although it's hot, there are fewer students, so no waiting in line, and the learning efficiency is actually higher. Remember to bring enough drinking water and keep the car's air conditioning on circulation at all times. Last year, a student used a cooling seat cushion in the car and didn't even sweat on their back while practicing reverse parking. You might want to try this trick.
