Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
I delayed getting my driver's license because I was so scared.....only to find out it was no big deal (smacks forehead). Many of things i thought I'd be tested on never came up. It was very basic, put on your seat belt, reverse, park within the lines, quick-stop, and following road signals. It all took place in a shopping plaza parking lot. The examiner will give you directions, make sure you give your turn signals when necessary. You're going to do just fine. It's one of those dreaded things you worry about and later find out that all the stress was unnecessary. Soon, you'll be posting about how you aced the test and got the driver's license:) It's a very liberating feeling. Best wishes.
I'm not one to give advice, since I myself failed when I was 18, then years later I tried again, many times, before I finally passed... Hey, but at least I did pass eventually!
Oh well, I always became too nervous during the test. And because of that I made many mistakes. Then once I was told to use something against nerves, I think it was called Valeriaan, you had to put a few drops of it in a glass of water to calm your nerves. If it was thanks to that or just luck, I don't know, but that time I did pass.
Maybe you could tell yourself, 'this isn't an exam, this is another practise for the real exam', or pretend like your showing the examinator how to drive, that he/she isn't an examinator, just a person who wants to see how it's done. Perhaps if you stop thinking about it as an exam, it can help you.

it's valium. You could also use b-blockers for performance anxiety.
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
^i heard pot also helps- it's a sedative.
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
^ ha ha. don't use drugs; you'll be fine. the test is really not that bad.... i just had a little trouble parking...i almost dropped one of those orange cones! The rule is if it drops, you fail....I touched and the cone moved right and then left and went to back to it's place....a big sigh of relief after that!

I also know someone who used those drops for his exam.. Only he used a lil bit too much (he thought, the more drops, the relaxer I'll be..) so he was soooo relaxed.. He had to enter the highway and he was driving 60 km/h (35 mph) on the highway were he had to drive atleast 80 km/h (50 mph) :CareBear: So IF you're gonna use it.. please dont use too much..!
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
Just chill, the more relaxed you are, the better you'll do. I passed first time :) and i was a total wreck! so just hope for the best and suck up to the driving instructor haha i.e youre hair is very pretty...but only if its the opposite sex...
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
so I should avoid hitting roads tomorrow :)
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
I had a driving instructor that was almost blind...lol. It was dark and I was the last student to get my permit.
I drove on inside streets and stopped at all the stop signs...everytime I would brake, he would ask me..."why are you stopping?". There was a pedestrian crossing and I waited at the stop sign for a few minutes and he says "lets go" and I had to tell him there was someone crossing the street. He squints and says "where??"...LOL
I hope you pass with flying colors and that you get an easy going instructor. Inshallah.
Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
U know what advice my driving instructor told me several times......before facing the examiner for my road test? He said don't brainiac it. In other words don't over-think it. It's not rocket science. You've had the training, you know the rules, you know the signals, it's all common sense, you know what to do. So, don't over-think it.
As one poster suggested you can think of this road test as "just another practice" until your real test, if that helps to calm u down. Or you can even pretend that the examiner is a relative or someone that you're comfortable with, if that helps. Try praying, I find that gives comfort in stressful situations.
That’s too awesome.

Re: Driving test, so nervous!!!
Taking a driving test is SO different from actually driving. You have to focus less on the driving and more on bobbling your head, looking at the mirrors, over the shoulder, I never knew that merely changing your lane could be so complicated.
Nothing to be nervous about, whats the worst that can happen? Just drive nice and smooth, dont trip, pretend to be very alert. You will get through it Inshallah. Keep us updated.
