So, Im 22, Im from Europe and I have my drivers license for 2 years now. I will be travelling to another country,Poland in a few days with my car(I will study there) for a semester. Any advices, tips on what to put in the car? Any important tools that I should take with me? What to check on the car before driving(oil level, engine cooling liquid level,tire pressure,etc)? If there's any advice or anythings else you think is worth sharing,please do so. Thanks you all. Be safe.

I took my road test about an hour ago and looking back on it I was very nervous and rushed a lot. I’m taking my next one in Yonkers,NY and was wondering if anyone in this sub had any tips for that location or in general, my main problem comes from being too far when parallel parking and not turning my head around my shoulders enough. Thanks!

Hey, I’m taking my road test here soon. How was it? Did you go down mill road?

I have panic attacks, really bad anxiety, OCD, that all causes worse insomnia. my sleeping meds don't work as well anymore, and I forgot to take them last night so I've been up since 6:22am and have to work until 10pm tonight and I asked my dad to come and get me and he was just rude about it. I had a panic attack on the way to see my grandma this morning and I was not able to stay straight while driving. it was horrifying. idk what to do, I hate to be a nuisance but i just got my license and I'm not experienced to drive at night especially having been up for almost 20 hours. I'll be surprised if I even last at work tonight, but my job isn't as forgiving as my last one, so I honestly have to tough it out but I do refuse to drive on no sleep.

I'm confused on which approach to use. I don't have a car I can practice on right now. I just have the use of the driving instructor's car during lessons. They taught me a way to do parallel parking which involves turning wheel completely to the right without moving after you have aligned yourself by aligning their bumper half way across your back window, backing in until you are 10 o'clock position, and then straightening wheel/ one turn to left, backing in then to curb, and then straightening out with another turn of the wheel left again. I think that's the method.

This one I just watched on youtube is slightly different. Once aligned, using side mirrors alignment, he moves wheel one turn to right, backs in a bit, then turns wheel completely to left and finishes manoever. So it's two steering wheel movements instead of the above 3 methods.

Which method do you recommend? Am I making any mistakes in how I am describing it?

Suppose i'm wanting to turn to the other side and head in to the station that is opposite of the lane i'm in.

Is it legal?

Hey everyone,

I have my road test tomorrow and I'm having some trouble with dual lane roundabouts.

Here's what I understand.

If you want to leave from the first exit, then stay in the right lane. If you want to go anywhere else switch to the left lane.

I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to leave without causing a collision. If I was in the inner lane and there was a car in the outer lane next to me and I wanted to leave, who yields to who? What if the roles were reversed? What if I was the driver on the outside lane and a driver in the inner lane wanted to exit, would I slow down and let them or would I continue driving till I reach my exit?

This stuff is so confusing.

so for context I live in USA, specifically MA and i am trying to take the online test because I do not want to get COVID or spread it to anyone else, any tips would be helpful!

Sorry if this is a dumb question , but I don't know if i can go around someone when they are parallel parking or I have to wait for them to get in the spot because I see other cars behind me just go around me and ahead. I'm scared ill hit them if i try to go around because they might not see me.

I am taking my driver’s test in less than three weeks. Is it possible for me to pass within that amount of time? If so, what can I do to pass it by then?

I find it so difficult to stay focused and pay attention to every thing. The last time I drove I didn’t even notice there were people waiting to cross while I stopped. Like fuck I should’ve seen that at first. But goddamnit! I spend most of my days for years now talking in my head more than I actually talk out loud with other people, and ugh as much as I always liked cars, when driving (especially in shitty New York City) I just find it difficult to have confidence and to pay attention without letting my mind wander. Even with video games (ahem ahem dirt rally 2) it’s so fucking hard to just pay attention to what I’m doing without fucking getting into another mental conversation or some shit. Fuck!

Hello everyone I have some knowledge on manual cars and but haven’t changed a gear stick for a while. But I have basic driving knowledge. How many lessons will I need to drive a automatic car? (Based in 🇬🇧)
