YOU ARE (ALMOST) READY FOR YOUR DMV DRIVING SKILL TEST
1- The car you will use for your test
The DMV does not provide any a vehicle for your driving test.
NO RENTAL CAR ACCEPTED.
You must be with an adult supervisor. We recommand using the car you drove during your training so you are familiar with it.
You may use our vehicle for this purpose, some restrictions may apply. Please see https://LasVegasnvDrivingSchool.com/pricing.
You can also take the DMV skill test in any passenger car or truck that is properly registered and insured.
The DMV examiner will perform a vehicle safety inspection of the vehicle and check the Certificate of Registration and Evidence of Insurance card. Make sure it is handy for the test.
You will be asked to activated all safety features so be familiar with their location if you do not lknow the car.
The vehicle should be mechanically sound and safe to drive. The DMV Inspector will verify that everything is functional (turning signals, headlights, brake and taillights, speedometer and horn, tire wear and visibility through the windshield, side windows and mirrors).
Make sure you know where everything is.
The vehicle used for the skills test should have operational seat belts for both you and the examiner. Make sure the front passenger seat is available and clean. you don’t want a banana peel there). 🙂
2 - When entering the car
Verify your vehicle has its parking brake engaged (Your inspector is looking for this!). Before turning the key: You should make sure to verify that everything is fit to your size, especially the seat, steering wheel, and rear-view mirrors. Do it even if you did it prior so the inspector knows that you are doing it.
Do not forget to adjust your seat belt, make sure the inspector and passengers are using the belt .
If you drove to the test with an adult supervisor then everything should be already adjusted, but double-checking/adjusting your mirrors/seat belt, seat, etc will show the inspector you want to make sure everything is fine. Same thing that you may apreciate, when the pilot of your plane is doing his check-up before departure..
Other passengers or pets (even ferrets, snakes or spiders) (LOL) are not allowed in the car during the driving test. swith off your phone.
Any special needs must be discussed with the examiner before to the skills test.
(And NO! You DO NOT NEED to turn the music on!)
3 -The right things to do during your Driving Test
Many people don’t do it since they are too nervous:
SMILE ! it shows you are confident,and never let them see you sweat!
1) Greet the inspector . You do not have to shake his/her hand but simply say hi will be great! That will not only be the polite thing to do but will break the ice and show that you are confident.
2) Do not ask how to do things: During the driving test, the inspector will give you driving directions and will ask you to perform certain maneuvers.
He or she will not give you any guidance on how to operate your vehicle. A DMV inspector is here not to make you fail but to check your performance and decide if you are knowledgeable about rules and regulations, and able to drive alone safely, not to help you pass the test or try to make you fail.
The DMV driving test lasts about 20 minutes.
It consists of basic maneuvers such as:
- Left and right turns (do not forget your signals),
- Stops,
- Parallel parking,
etc…
4 -Drive as if you were a Limo Driver
If you are confident, you do not have to be nervous. Act as if the instructor is a single passenger and you are a taxi driver. (Please do not talk or drive like one! ). Be rather like a limo driver.
Drive smoothly at all times, accelerate slowly, but be assertive, not hesitant. Brake smoothly well ahead of time, pass bumps at slow speed. Be calm and confident.
If you misunderstand a question or a direction, politely ask them to repeat it.
If you make a mistake, do not panic, it can happen to everyone, but panicking or getting nervous does not help.
Pay attention to his/her comments and be natural. Smile as if you enjoy driving and never let them see you sweat!
Do not overdo it to show you are an expert.
Watch the speed limit especially in school zones !!!!
AT STOP SIGNS….:
MAKE SURE TO MARK THE STOP ( OR STOP TWICE IF THE FIRST ONE DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGHT VISIBILITY )
And pass your driving test with confidence!…..
Say Thank you to your inspector when he/she will give you the 100 percent score!!!!!
Top 8 Reasons Why People Fail the Behind-The-Wheel Driving Test
- Make sure to follow the law and everything you learned during your driver’s education. (that is why we insisted on not guessing your quiz answers.)
- Respect the speed limit with no tolerance.
- Pay attention to road signs and markings, especially in school zones.
- Stop before the white line at pedestrian crossings. Be courteous to others.
- If your view is blocked at a crosswalk, move forward carefully after you stop at the line. If another car is stopped before a crosswalk, it may be hiding a pedestrian.
- Make a complete stop at stop signs.
- Remember to stop twice at an unprotected stop sign (until you have full visibility without entering the intersection):
1) completely Stop at the Stop sign,
2) Make a second stop a few feet forward when you have visibility of the crossing road – respect the right-of-way. - Look both ways before entering the intersection (left, right, left).
- Signal for all lane changes and turns & check blind spots (briefly turn your head).
- Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. Use the three-second rule or more in bad weather. DON’T LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT!
Do not look at the inspector too often, you can still communicate with your eyes looking at the road ahead.
Do not panic if you made a mistake, an error is human, simply apologize and correct your mistake. Always keep safety in mind and you should be fine! - At the end of the drive-test do not forget your parking brake!
Oh !.. I almost forgot !!!!…..
Don’t ever, ever, never answer your iPhone or texting during your driving test !. Remember to switch it off before the test!.
How to impress a driving examiner.
Believe it or not, impressing a driving examiner will increase your chances of passing your road test and getting your license. This is because driving examiners are humans that have feelings, and by impressing an examiner, you can affect those feelings and their perception of you!
