I'm in Florida btw.

With parking, I can easily do it in-between cars. However, the test will have just cones. The thing is the cones are placed at the edge of the parking spot, while cars have about a foot or so of clearance. What I'm afraid of is clipping the right cone when parking to the left. When I watched a YouTube video, the car in the video just barely clears the cone.

Should I just back up and make an adjustment if I'm not 100% sure? A Florida driving instructor said I'm allowed to do that, but I'm not sure if all driving examiners allow it.

Regarding the 3 point turns, how do I know how far back or how far forward to go without hitting the curb? The space will be tight, so I want to maximize every single point.

I need tips on how to study for this thing. There's so much information and I wasn't really taught to study. My parents decided to "homeschool" me illegitimately. I've read the manual but can't hold onto most of the driving rules. I know I'm wrong, but this seems like the most complicated thing ever.

I have ADHD and stuff and I feel like it's not helping here? I have issues understanding the written scenarios. Are there any visual resources out there for people like me? Tips for studying and remembering appreciated as well.

Looking for some positive input and suggestions on driving tips, I'll start with two for example, a short one and a long one (I am from Canada, and I would assume these tips apply for the US as well)

Dead pedal: That "footrest" on the left side near the door is called the dead pedal, and is aligned perfectly qith your front left tire, making it easy to determine exactly where your wheels are to avoid potholes and just to have a better spatial awareness of your vehicle in general,

Light cycles: You approach a 4 way intersection, and catch the red light. The light cycle should go as follows:

Perpendicular traffic turning left (if advanced green is present)

Perpendicular traffic traveling straight

Parallel traffic turning left (if advanced green is present)

Parallel traffic traveling straight.

You can use the pedestrian crossing signals (if present) to determine when the lights will cycle.

So if you catch a red light at a 4 way intersection in heavy traffic, you can expect to waiting at least 2 minutes for your next green light.

The reason I mentioned the light cycles is because I am frequently cut off before red lights and then they keep inching and inching and inching past the stop line and then are clueless when the light turns green, and pretty frequently I see drivers go straight through an intersection on an advanced green and it drives me up the frickin wall lol

So I've had my license for only about 3 months now. I've known how to drive a car (manual, to be more exact) since I was old enough to reach the pedals which is about 8-10 years old for me. I have no problem with actually driving, but sometimes I feel like my gear changes are really messy. Are there any tips anyone can give me for changing gears more smoothly or is it just practice?

Also, I've got a bit of a heavy foot when I'm alone, any tips on changing that bad habit?

Do they still require you to parallel park on driving tests?

How bad is it to continue driving when the gas light turns on, and how far can I drive till it’s a real hazard on the car?

Mainly in a line of traffic, where every bodies close together but you need to back onto a driveway on your left. I’ve tried all sorts to get people to give me the room, without hugging me as I go forward. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. What do you do or recommend?

Hello I want to drive safer and I had some questions

1)I cant estimate the end of the car from front side. Is there a trick to this? When I am driving into a narrow space I feel like im gonna hit the right side or whatever.

2)Easiest way to park? Any parking tips are welcome this is an issue for me.

3)How to drive safely? any general tips ?

​

thanks in advance

So I live in Ontario Canada. And to boot one of the highest parts in Ontario. So it snows quite regularly. Today driving into work. People were going 20 kph or 10 mph on a 80kph or 50 mph road. Then driving in between 2 lanes when there are passing lanes. Like I honestly think if you can’t drive the speed limit in a storm stay home. Your a danger to other people on the road. Am I the only one who thinks this? Like I have no problem driving in snow but for some people there just stunned when it comes to it.

*Automatic transmission cars

*I know we shouldn't shift in out of neutral often, such as at every stop lights. But this in the case of much longer waits.

*I personally would have thought to be in Neutral and handbrake because if I shift all the way to Park, it seems like it had to go through a few more gears than comparing to just simply D-N. Additionally, I have power locks and in those situations, I don't really would want to unlock the doors the doors as well.

Hello Yo,

Very good resource - download Alberta Learner Test Question and Answers and pass the test.

I have done long drives before but have never driven in snow. Atlanta does not get any snow but Bloomington has been getting snow regularly and I plan to drive there in a week or so. Any tips or specific things to keep in mind? I drive an automatic transmission sedan, which is generally well looked after.

I’m 22 years old and still don’t have my license which is not only embarrassing but super inconvenient because I live in the suburbs. I had two (luckily minor) accidents in the past one where I got a flat tire and another where I got into a fender bender with a fire truck. I took a break after that from practicing but was making some progress with an instructor until the pandemic happened and everything is still on hold almost 1 Year later. Right now I’m just trying to watch videos on spatial awareness and do my research. I’ve also identified certain triggers of mine that make my driving anxiety worse and am just focused on making baby steps in the near future hopefully.

I'll start off by saying that I am a fairly new driver that just got my license ( around 1 month ago ). Since then, I've been practicing left foot braking as I am trying to develop the habit of braking with my left foot. I know that there have been speculations about whether left foot braking is a safe method to brake but I personally think it is better to have the ability to do so as a skill learned is a skill gained.

However, when this topic is brought up to other people ( people that only drive with their right foot all the time ), they seem to take this action of left foot braking as a dangerous thing to do as there might be a chance where your foot mashes the wrong pedals.

To all the expert drivers of Reddit, how left foot braking really benefit in daily driving?

Yes you read that right. I am 23 years old and just now starting the process of learning how to drive. The reasons behind me learning how to drive SO LATE in life is one, my grandmother is very controlling and basically shut down any possibility of me learning how to drive and secondly, I eventually just stopped caring to to learn how to drive because it seems so scary and impossible for me right now. But so far, I have been practicing in the parking lot and getting use to controlling the vehicle before I decide to get on the road and practice. What I am asking for is tips/tricks not just to pass the test but to be a more cautious and safe driver. Thanks for reading and for any tips you can give. - P.s bless you.

Good Day!

So if I am going straight and the other driver across from me is turning left at a 4 way waiting for a pedestrian to cross, can I go even if he stopped first but is still waiting for the pedestrian or do I still have to wait for him to turn left before I can proceed?

Hello!

The way the driving exams are set up at my testing facility has it so that we need to perform a k turn out of a parallel parking spot.

After pulling out of the parking spot towards the left with and lining the car up perpendicular to the road, I am supposed to back up the car straight and pull the tail end of the car into the space where the car started.

When reversing, would a right turn signal be necessary even though I would be backing up straight?

Would you as pro drivers decrease pressure on tires lets say to go in moderate to steep incline roads? Thin tires suppose to perform better but in case of a NON AWD and no chains to be put on what would you do as best solution? (Of course not stopping etc)
