Take your time and if u dont know then dont go.

Dont stress too much either

[Jamezilla]

Don't you just have to send in 12 tokens from specially marked packs these days?

Anyhoo...

Concentrate, don't rush anything, use your mirrors, and relax.

Good luck!

1. Don't drive your skyline is one big tip.

2. use your mirrors wherever possible

3. obey street signals

4. stay 5 km below the limit, this takes into account hills (speeding is instant failure)

5. Head check when changing lanes

6. use the hand brake on hill strats not the clutch (3 stalls and you fail)

7. Remember don't hit the curb in parellel parking, pick your point and be confident.

8. be relaxed, if your nervous you will stuff up and be hard on yourself

9. if you are to tense or have had an unfortunate experience with another driver that has shaken you pull over and stop the vehicle. They do respect you for being responsible.

10. have fun and remain focused.

If you get stressed, thats when your likely to stuff it up.

Just relax a bit and you'll be fine.

Its really not as hard as you would think... i mean... when you see some of the drivers on the road these days, VicRoads must be giving out the plastic like hotcakes.

LOL! Thought it was normally a promotion they ran where they were found free inside specially marked packs each year!

You definately dont want to be panicking as if you do, it will most likely show in your driving. Most people will suffer some nerves but try and keep them under control. If you fail, you fail. Take the advice on board given by the examiner and think of it as him/her trying to help you rather than you failing.

If you rock up to do your test and the instructor is a sour old hag, reschedule.

[paulr33]

just do what bart does

[DivHunter]

The Bart man?

[Jamezilla]

just do what bart does

Yeah, but don't do what Donny Don't does

[123456]

i agree, don't do it in the skyline, if u wheel, spin it the tiniest bit or the instructor doesn't fancy hoons, your probably screwed. It's not hard to get, i got mine with about 2 weeks practice and no paid lessons.. Hardest bit was the stupid computer test, that things retarded, so many things flying at you and buttons to tap

[Helio]

Yea I stuffed up the computer test, because the silly cow didn't tell me how it worked [ more like silly me for not askin]. If you don't know how to use it, ask. You won’t look stupid, and might save you having to resit it.

Don't let it stress you, there’s no point. Just pretend that no one is there. If you are confident and capable of performing all the maneuvers’ ect... with out the assessor, then you will be fine with him/her. If you are relay stressin your self about it, it might pay to get a paid lesson, and reassure your self. Bonus of a paid lesson is that the instructor knows all the routs that the assessors take you on, so you can learn the road that you will be taken on, and have no surprises

[Savage Bliss]

READ THE BOOK! It's all well and good driving... But the computer test is where most people stuff up! READ THE BOOK!

[DivHunter]

the perception tset needs better graphics. I apparently ran over 3 pixels that were supposed to be a person. Still passed though and got off my Ps 2nd of Jan this year yay.

[foznice]

haha, yes the HPT is a freakin joke.

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE

Also, theres one where you waiting to turn right at an intersection on a green light, and your giving way to oncoming traffic whilst waiting in the interestection... so you get your cars and stuff, then a truck, and it looks like its all clear.. but it's not, theres a motorbike behind the truck... so watch out for that one...........

[Coupe-This]

man that computer test still hasnt gotten any better i see, thats the worst, questions are multiple answeres like the learners, maybe still i took mine agers ago, heh

just dont stress, if your a confidant driver, and can actually drive there is nothing to worry about. I personally dont want a person behind the thats a nervous wreck, if you dont feel ready, reschedule.

Just, calm down, if you havent had any paid lessons best u do, as they will show u tricks, and teach u to drive how to pass the test, plus do a lesson before the test, i did, and it was the same route i took for the test, was a bonus.

If your from the s/e burbs goto the dandenong branch, apperently has easy routes with main roads and little traffic, i had mine in peak hour trucks n all. meh be confidant

[Rekin]

if you make eye contact with the person next to you, you have to race them

That computer test was shocking, real lagging and past on 51%

95%+ on the actual driving test so go figure lol

Got into the car with tester. Told me to reverse out of carpark onto main road. I put it into reverse(not hard enuf) popped into neutral and started rolling forward Also told me to turn right and started indicating left ~_~

After these 2 quick blunders, decided to relax at the next lights and went all good

If you go with a good learner instructor, they usually provide some notes about the test day. Here are some

OVERTAKING

You will be required to press the mouse button at the point you would overtake. Make sure there

is enough gap.

. You are following a tractor in the country with double lines on the road. Wait till you get to the

top where the lines change to single broken and you can see in the distance.

. You are following a bike in a small shopping strip. You can’t overtake, as there are oncoming

cars and cars pulling out of parking bays.

As you are saying this, does this mean it isnt taught ordinarilly? It seems logical to me and something I would adhere to in everyday driving. (BTW didnt sit my driving test here only a theory test)

[Mavric]

Very simple dude.....

Impossible to fail!!!

Take your time don't speed, signal where required and don't hit anything and more importantly anyone ...

And if you do happen to stall it don't stress have to do it 3 times to fail

[sly-747]

I just did my perceptions last week i think it was.

All i remember is one of the practise questions is in the test

and i think about 8 questions if you think it's unsafe dont click

at all!!!!

GOOD Luck!!! =)
