Advice for my drivers test.

[Nerotharis]

So, I keep failing my drivers test because I keep screwing up on the cone part. Where you have to drive through the cones then back up through them and stop. I passed the road test but I just cant seem to get the cones right. Any advice?

Edit: Mostly I suck at the reversing part.

I suggest asking your parents/guardian/friend/me to train you personally, before your test.

I've had decent training, I just am completely retarded when it comes to backing up...I really need to get my licence...Im 18 and need to get this thing

Close your eyes, and use the force. Seriously it works...In Star Wars

But seriously I'm the last person to go to for advice, having grown up on games like GTA I should never be allowed near a car, ever. Like ever.

Try to get the highscore it's:
1 point for each pedestrian you hit
2 points for a chav
4 points for an OAP

Nah I haven't taken my driving test or had any lessons so I don't have any wisdom to share. I'd just try and keep a cool focussed head, and not stress out.

Try driving around your residence at blinding speed, all while blindfolded.
If you don't hit anything and If you videotape it, your instructor might just:
A. Shit Bricks
B. Give you your liscense without the test
C. Bow down to your almighty car skills

And if anyone gets hit.. sucks for them, they aren't in a 2-ton vehicle!
(This was all sarcasm, don't do this!)

And on a side note:

I suggest asking your parents/guardian/friend/me to train you personally, before your test.

This is sound advice.

Or play it GTA style, hit everything! Each thing you hit is worth 50 points! Get 3,000 and you go bonus round!

You just won life.

I'm just now learning about driving so I'm thankful for this thread but can't contribute just yet. I'm lucky to have my father give me lessons because he is a police officer, it's his job to direct traffic, determine what caused accidents, and of course pull drunks over on the express way.

My only fear is that after years of videogames I will be decensitised to crashes and end up reckless... ADD does not help that fear at all...

Don't worry too much. I'm 23 and have gotten along fine without a drivers liscene At the moment its experience jobs all want so liscense or not you are still royally screwed.

Don't run over the pedestrians. Yet.

I hate it when you steal my thoughts.
only I was going for "seize your parents car and run over the driving instructor."
or possibly "DON'T PANIC"
