What advice do you have for someone taking the road test (NYC) the first time? I know very few people who passed the first time, bec of nervousness, careless mistakes..... What did you do wrong? What should you have done differently? How do you project an air of confidence and does that matter or is it all points and nothing else?

how to do a better parallel park. That's how I failed the first time, I was just too nervous to park well. In the week between my failed 1st and my 2nd and passed test, all I did was park on my driving lessons. And I got the same instructor both times.

1. Don't make small talk with the evaluators. They can be grumpy.
2. Don't take it in an area with a lot of stop signs
3. Don't take it during rush hour in a busy area of the city
4. Pick an area with wide streets (READ: DO NOT take the test in Williamsburg or in downtown BK)
5. Go in a car you've been practicing in
6. Pick a smaller car vs a minivan (you can see out the back window easier.)
Is there any way for you to take it in Yonkers (20 min from city) or in Yorktown (45 min)? The streets are wider.

Good luck! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! (This from someone who failed the first time.) Hatzlacha!

If u need glasses while driving, remember to put them on. My mom had them on her head but out of nervousness forgot to put them on her face. She failed before she even started driving!
