ROAD TEST
How do I know if I am ready for the road test?
Learner Driver → Test-Ready Driver
QUICK ANSWER
You are becoming test-ready when you can perform the required skills consistently without someone repeatedly telling you what to do.
WHAT THAT MEANS
One successful maneuver is not enough. Look for repeatable control, observation, judgment, and independence.
SUPPORTING ANSWER SECTIONS
Vehicle control
Steering, braking, backing, parking, and lane position should be controlled.
Road awareness
You should notice signs, traffic, pedestrians, and changing conditions while driving.
Independent decisions
You should increasingly recognize what needs to happen without prompts.
DRIVEx WAY OF THINKING
Did I notice it myself? Did I understand it? Did I make the right adjustment? Could I do it again without being reminded?
