My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

Put on your seat belt and determine your passenger (instructor) does also
BEFORE you start the engine.

Know your hand signals.
The true business of people should be to go back to
school and think about whatever it was they were
thinking about before somebody came along and told
them they had to earn a living.

Thanks you all!!!!

Yes I have passed my class 5 so big release for me lol

those of you who suggested about three vodkas b4 the tests really helped....lol joking

I can't believe that I get full score---that is no mistake at all according to the examiner.

I was nervous to death before the test, you know that feeling sitting on the chair and waiting to be called but thanks god I made it!

yes basically it's about your attention on road, do shoulder check for every turn, turn left, right, change lane.

full stop before the line when there is red light even you are turning right, yes and then move slowly forward to see the traffic and then decide to turn

full stop no rolling wheels before the stop sign as well.

always scan the intersection when you drive across one

be aware of the school zone, keep it 30km/hr

both hands on the wheel all the time, 10 and 2 o'clock

check your mirrors very often

keep the distance with the car front of you, when stopped by the red light, make sure you can see the wheels of the front car. (I did that)

hill parking, remember turning your wheels all the way to the correct direction(uphill--all the way to the left; downhill-all the way to the right)

do a lot of practice on parallel parking.

make sure you practice a lot in downtown area, because I was in dt most of the time.

the examiner didn't test me a lot on highway though but maybe she's sure that I would be ok. :p

Congratulations,

Here is my wish....That all road users drove as if their driver examiner was with them
at all times.

Just think how much different the roads would be!!!!!

They'd be painfully slow LOL! Too much nervousness during an exam - I'd rather the driver just use the skills required to pass the test combined with the confidence to use those skills on a day to day basis.

Sorry, just had to nit pick a bit LOL ;)

Congratulations!

Please, please remember to never, ever use your phone while driving. It is so hard to see how many young and new drivers are on their phones and checking messages etc.

Be an example and be a responsible driver...sing at the top of your lungs to a great song and dance in your seat, but be safe.

Again, way to go!!!
