Basically here's how to pass your road test summed up. Drive cautiously and like you are constantly very aware of the dangers of driving. The instructors don't want to see how good of a driver you are. They want to see how cautious/careful of a driver you are. There's plenty of drivers in all different kinds of races and supercars that are phenomenally skilled drivers but they drive dangerously as hell at the same time due to having to drive as fast as possible for their sports. That's a great driver but not a careful/cautious one. On you're road test, be a careful driver, better to exaggerate it than not.

1. 2 shoulder checks for lane changes!!! 2. keep a 2-3 second distant between the car in front of you 3. Have correct lane positioning - Don't stay too close to parked cars, shoulder change and move to the other lane if needed Thank you for the tips sir!
I just passed my driving test this morning. I missed a few points on the parking but it turned out okay. Making tiny mistakes is okay as long as you realize your mistakes and go on. Its not as hard as some people say. You got this buddy!

After 2 fails I finally got my license! It's pretty easy for the evaluator to fail you for simple mistakes so keep your head up if it happens. Failure doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver. Keep practicing and go at it again. You're bound to get someone who believes in you. But for me I took a step further by contacting a private license and professional dmv agent that helped me to write a provisional letter to bypass the test drive and i was given a provisional driver's license which will last for 12 months. I got a license now and it will serve for 1 year then I renew again. My little advice. * If you think are too nervous for the test drive then you can easily switch to a provisional driver's license which you won't need to test drive.
I’m seriously in need of my license now. I live with my grand mom and she’s a cancer patient and I need to work but I need my license ASAP please can you recommend me to your professional
I'm gonna be 27 and still don't have my license because my family always keeps me inside the house. Luckily I applied for jobs to find my way out of this cage. They only taught me to drive i neighbourhoods and shame me for not getting a license like my younger cousin who's mom is less strict. I'm tired of it and am tired of my life being drained, I want to take action for my own life and am doing it slowly but believe soon I can at least get my license if I keep it up with studying and practicing but I don’t think I can cos I got a lotta work to do. Can you help?
Its been a horrific process for me, i have failed thrice and not like i am proud of myself but i think sometimes the evaluators knowingly fail you so you could retake and it lines their pocket doing that. Speaking of which, isn’t the permit the same as a provisional license
Doctor Rick, I took my driving test an hour ago in WV and I passed on first try. Your videos were a tremendous help, specially parallel parking, I aced it! I practiced almost everyday for two weeks and it paid off. I am ecstatic because I no longer will have to depend on Uber or anybody to get around from now on. Thank you so much! Keep up the great content!

Just passed my drivers test and the main advice I would give to anyone taking the test is to breathe, stay calm, and be alert. As long as you do that, and have had proper practice, you will crush this test. I did just that and I passed with flyig colours. Practice, and stay calm.

I failed my first test this morning. I suffer from severe test anxiety so I’m looking to make some more improvements before my next test! Thank you for the help
Thank you so much! Watched this video this morning and then I passed today after failing twice. Every time I failed I would get so discouraged I would stop practicing my driving. Even if you've failed before it's important to keep practicing and trying again. Know that you are not defined by those failures, that they are learning opportunities for the next test. I did almost everything wrong last time, ended up over the curb when parking, and knowing that I already failed caused me to mess up a lot of other things. This time I learned from my mistakes and only lost 5 points for signaling too early, thanks to watching a lot of your helpful videos and practicing every day. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming tests!

Passed my test today! Thank you so much for this video. I failed my first test, and was feeling like maybe driving just wasn’t for me after all. I’m 46 in a month and I just got my N today! I was SO nervous, I almost didn’t go to my test. When all was said and done, I had 3 minor mistakes. I’m sure these were due to nerves. I was so happy when she turned to me and said congratulations! I still can’t believe it. Thank you SO MUCH! And for anyone out there worried if they can pass it. You can, just breathe and remember to do all your mirror, signal, shoulder checks and obey all laws. If I can do it, you can. 🎉 cheers!

When he was talking about the difference between 2-way stop and 4-way stop signs, he might as well have been speaking Chinese to me because idk why it just doesn’t go through my thick skull 😭 I have so much trouble understanding what to do at complicated stop sign encounters. Who goes first? Which direction? I have a feeling I’m gonna fail the road test over this. 😢
Hello! On a 2 way stop sign, traffic at the intersection ALWAYS has the right away. Only proceed when it’s safe and if you were the first to get to the stop sign. Usually on a 2 way stop sign, there’s a stop sign on your side of the street, and for the cars in the street in front of you. Cars going from the left and right have the right away because they don’t have a stop sign. On a 4-way stop sign, the first person to stop at their stop sign gets to go first. HOWEVER, if there’s a situation where you and a car to your right stop at the same time, the car on the right gets to go. It’s called the right-hand-rule.
Class 5 road test in an hour or so… I can safely say I am nervous haha Update: Passed 100%! The class 5 road test was waaay easier then the class 7 road test. Staying calm is the key!

@@MightyRaisin oh it’s different in US. They just have the paper test which is about the road signs and questions regarding merging and stuff like that and then you have to do the road test which is the driving part to get your full license
Learning a lot from this channel, thank you. I've been driving for practice for a while, but I'm still terrified of failing the test. My whole family thinks I have it in the bag, but fear of failure is a curse in my life.
Dear Rick, I took my road test today and passed with flying colors according to the examiner! I was a nervous wreck getting into the DMV here in Tennessee but I made it! My examiner even went up to my husband after the actual test to chat. He first made it look like I failed. He said, ' are you sure you want her driving you?'. It was hilarious! My written test also received high scores (although the actual number wasn't shared with me). Your channel helped me a lot to prepare for both. You explain everything so quickly. Thank you for all you do. God bless you always and be safe!
What an incredible story! Congratulations on passing your test there in the volunteer state. That awesome that the examiner was messn’ with you a little bit. And you are most welcome my friend. All the very best. Congratulations to you & your family. God bless. Cheers Rick

@@leonardoangelosantos6512 I wanna share some really good news with you! 💕 Romans 3:23 in the Bible says “ All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 says “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God commands us in the 10 commandments to not have any other gods, to not make any idol/graven image, to not take the Lords name in vain, to keep the Sabbath day, honor our father and mother, not to murder, commit adultery, steal, lie, or covet. We have all broken Gods law and sinned. Sin leads to death and it makes us deserving of punishment, eternal separation from God in hell. Romans 5:8 “God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” God loves us so much. He loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His son, who is One with God, to die for us. Jesus died to pay for our sins as a sacrifice for us. He was crucified on a cross, mocked, beaten, and treated as though He were a criminal. Jesus never broke any law or sinned, He died for us. Jesus rose from the grave on the third day after His death, conquering death 💗 Roman’s 10:9-10 “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” Salvation is a free gift from God to anyone who repents and places their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” The Bible is Gods word and we need it to know God better and how to follow Him 💗 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the gospels of Jesus. They record His miracles, teachings, death, and resurrection! God bless you and have a great night/day 🌙

I passed my Driver's License Road Test yesterday and I'm so thankfully to this channel for that. In the last moment, I mainly took lessons on-line from two channels and this is one of them. I passed even though I've been behind a wheel in my entire life no more than 5 hours. I don't recommend going to the test without any practice at all but in my case, I couldn't afford to drive a car for several reasons in a long time until now. I spent hours even by the early morning, watching these videos on RU-vid. Despite of I couldn't go out to practice in a car I got in my brother's car parked on the driveway and although inside my mind, I render all maneuvers again and again to get proper assimilation. That was my attitude and if I could do it, you can too! Best wishes and Good Luck!

I just wanted to say thank you for this video and all the other ones that you posted. In my final required 2 hours before my road test, I made several mistakes that would have cost me dearly if it were my actual road test. Things such as not checking for incoming traffic properly when making a right turn after coming to a complete stop, driving too slowly (its not just going too fast that will get you in trouble), not doing proper head checks, and worse, changing lanes in the middle of an intersection during a turn! After I was done, I was a nervous wreck, and wondering how I was gonna be ready for my road test since as a working adult, I didn't have access to a car to practice with from friends or family members, or as much time due to work. I also didn't have extra money to cough up to rent another car from my driving school, so it was now or never if I wanted to pass. Next time was not an option for me. So I found this channel and watched each and every video that I came across, reviewing several times before work and right before bed. Then, after about 2 weeks of mental practice, it was test time. I went in at about noon earlier today, and passed on my first try!
OMG, I passed my road test FIRST TIME today in Vancouver BC! I was so nervous because so many constructions going around today and it was not there yesterday when I practiced. I've been watching your videos since February and also it helped that I purchased the online class Pass the Roadtest First Time. There are things that my instructor did not metion that I learned from you like stopping every 1 car and look 360 in Back-up straight. My examiner asked me to do it twice and it's all good. Thank you Ric and more power!

Hi just wondering what you mean by shoulder checking 2 times for the turn? For the left turn, is it the shoulder checking 2 times for the left side only? Or both sides ?

Thank you so much for your advices! I passed my road test 3 days ago! If you guys are nervous like me during the road test, it helps a lot if you verbalize what you are doing but you have to ask your examiner first if it's ok to do it.

Excellent advice! And I was impressed how he pointed out the need to signal before going around an obstruction; in his case he was passing a stopped recycling truck. I’m stunned at how many bad drivers today fail to signal, especially if it involves crossing solid lines into what could be oncoming traffic. Likewise holding the steering wheel with both hands. You lose count as to how many reckless drivers steer with one hand (or just a wrist!), often just at the top of the wheel. If what you’re doing would have made you fail the driving test, then you probably never learned how to drive correctly.

Just passed my class 5. Didn't have to do any parallel parking even though I practiced like a mad man. The one demerit I got was coming to a complete stop at a yield sign. Take a deep breath and Good luck everyone!

Thank you so much for this video! I was beyond stressed for my exam and watching this video majorly calmed my nerves. Feeling like I knew what to watch out for made all the difference! Love your videos, keep doing what you do, it helps so many people to feel confident! Good luck to everyone who hasn’t gotten their license yet, you can do it!
Youd be surprised how easy it really is to pass, I was super far away from the curb during parallel park, I missed a few important signal changes, and atleaaast 3 times had put the car in nuetral instead of reverse or had it in park trying to pull away and forgot to disengage parking break and I still passed
Dear driver YOUUU can do it I passed mine today just be confident and you will succeed this is coming from a person who was horrible at driving believe in yourself 🫵🏼

Hey Rick thank you so much, because of you, i passed my driving test first time, i waited 6 years to do it because i was fustrated about my dmw in montreal. I passed with 85% in the snow. Tips: do not line changed when your in a intersection! Good luck guys wish you the best!

I have another common mistake that will lead to an immediate fail. Unfortunately, I also have personal experience with this mistake. 11) Stop completely at a stop sign or at a red light before turning right. Ensure there is a definite amount of time where the vehicle is not in motion because the examiner may not be convinced of a full and complete otherwise.
I got docked points for not checking my shoulder getting into a left turn lane but I was the only one in that intersection so make sure you guys check your shoulder even if nobody is there!!!

Thanks for your videos helped me a lot but sadly I failed my road test today in Lougheed Burnaby and I just wanna share a few things. The examiner asked to turn off the rearview mirror camera because no recording is allowed. I politely said it I can assure him it does not have recording feature and I use it only for addtl safety when backing up. He told me I can cancel the exam if I am not confident and uncomfortable. I don't think that was the appropriate response so I just said it's okay. But I think ICBC should have a firm policy on this because it differs. The exam finished and I had a few questions regarding safety, for example there was a bus that stopped at an uncontrolled intersection blocking my view I slowed down and he said that was wrong. I did not accelerate entering the freeway but I was waiting for the acceleration lane to do that not in the sharp curve prior? A couple of things I can accept why I failed but several things did not make sense to me. I will try again though.

@@smartdrivetest Thanks Rick! Appreciate the video especially the first tip. I can say I have recovered from the bad experience. Looking back I probably should've asked for a different examiner after the incident on the rearview mirror that really shook my confidence and felt discriminated.

you have the right of way and they should be yielding to you. they SHOULD turn into their correct lane and not get in your way, but if you see that they’re not slowing down and they’re about to turn, it’s safer to wait. a lot of the times, people will hop lanes or they will make their turns too wide and get in the way of the lane you’re turning in. better to be safe than sorry
