Had PETRIFYING anxiety for my road license exam, passed easily on my first try
I am 17M and have been putting off taking my road test forever out of fear. Yesterday, the day before my exam, I could barely eat anything or think about literally anything else. I couldn’t sleep, I felt like I was going to throw up in the morning.
But when I got to my actual test, turns out I was just crazy overreacting. It was only about 15-20 minutes, in a residential area. The whole time my mouth was so dry I could barely speak, and the driver saw how anxious I was and told me how everyone is nervous on their first test.
If you’re looking for tips,
Come to COMPLETE stops, feel the weight of the vehicle roll back. Do super exaggerated head movements for observations, and checking two or three times doesn’t hurt.
The only 2 things I got docked points for were:
Cutting into the other lane during a left turn (something I’m prone to doing)
Almost coming to a complete stop at a right turn with no stop sign.
To anyone scared to take their road test, if I can do it, SO CAN YOU!!
