The Ultimate Checklist To Prepare You For Your VicRoads Driver’s Test
Okay, so you have hopefully done your 120 hours in your logbook and built your confidence in your ability to drive. However, you may feel as though no matter how much you practice you won’t be ready. Alternatively, you have not done much practice and want to know exactly what to do in your driver’s test.
Small Things to Practice
The way the Melbourne driver’s test works is that your tester will have a checklist to see if you are performing key tasks for driving such as wearing a seat belt or adjusting the mirrors. Here is a list of techniques you should deliberately practice in the lead up to your test. You may be aware of these rules but unless if you do it on purpose then you won’t improve:
- Observation – you are aware of other road users and road conditions at all times, using head checks and mirrors as well as looking ahead of your car and observing behind your car when demonstrating low-speed maneuvers
- Signal use – you communicate your intentions to other road users by using your signals correctly
- Gap selection – you choose the first safe gap when moving into traffic
- Speed choice – you always drive under the speed limit but not too slowly – that is, you choose a safe, efficient speed depending on traffic and road conditions
- Following distance – you always leave a safe distance in front of your car
- Lateral position – you choose the safest lane to drive in, steer a smooth path, and always stay within your own lane
- Stop Position – you stop your car fully in the correct position when at Stop signs, traffic signals, and pedestrian crossings
- Control – you are in full control of the car at all times and can drive smoothly
Big manoeuvres to Practice
In addition to these small tasks there are larger tasks that have a big weight on your driving score. Assessors will test you on the following actions to see if you can perform them safely in different traffic conditions in Melbourne.
- Right and left turns at different types of intersections
- Lane changes to the left and the right
- Merging with other traffic
- Reverse parallel parking and a three-point turn
- Driving along straight or curved roads in different traffic conditions
Mistakes to avoid
Okay, so you now know what to do in your test. You also need to be aware of what to avoid. These things are good to have in the back of your mind to make sure that you don’t screw up. For example hitting the kerb will make you lose marks. Knowing that, the next time you reverse you will remember not to reverse too far back. Here are other things you should watch out for:
- Colliding with the kerb when driving
- Causing a near miss with other cars or road users
- Exceeding the speed limit at any time
- Causing other road users to avoid a collision by failing to signal, observe, or give way
- Driving through a Stop sign or red traffic light
- Stopping the car in an unsafe position
- Driving too slowly for the conditions
- Failing to look or signal
- Blocking a pedestrian crossing
- Allowing a wheel to mount the kerb when parking or leaving a parking space
- Failing to come to a complete stop, in the correct position, at a Stop sign
A serious safety error could result in immediate termination of the test and a fail being recorded
