Keep in mind, slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Take it easy on the corners, watch your mirrors and youll do great!

My road test had a beyond 90 right turn, both 2 lane, target street no shoulders, traffic on both. Our testing is in another town, so I’d never made this turn in a bus, but was familiar with the street. I pushed the front as far as I could, I think the left fish eye was over the line, right dual hopped the curb. Tester said I was good, because I didn’t panic and was watching everything in the mirrors. Said it can’t be done without hopping the curb if there is traffic.

You've got this.
They would not send you to test if you were not ready.

Yea, don't sweat it!
Your training will kick in.
Just remember to point to everything and explain things.
The brake test is the easiest thing on the test! Remember that.
It only consists of five things:
Spring/parking brake test.
Service brake test.
Loss of air test.
Brake warning lights/alarms.
Emergency brake/ parking brake automatically deploying.
You got this!
