How to Pass Your Driving Road Test

Driving is a wonderful privilege, but before you can get behind the wheel, you have to prove that you're a smart, safe driver by passing a road test.

Step 1: Practice Practice, practice, practice. Most people who fail are those who have not had enough practice driving. The recommended number of supervised practice hours is 50.
Step 2: Know rules of the road Know the proper speeds, which lanes to use, who you should yield to, stopping at a traffic light, ability to control the vehicle, and how to park.
TIP: If you're having trouble, take a driver's training course from a certified driving school licensed by the DMV.
Step 3: Study Study the traffic laws. Knowing the traffic laws can keep you from making avoidable mistakes.
