I just want to say this site is a great reference for a rookie. I just finished the AZ course at a private school in Ontario. My driving instructor was great but I got alot of tips for shifting, backing, turning etc. from reading this site which really helped.

I passed my air brake, pre-trip and road test yesterday with no errors. If my first year goes half as well as school did life will be good. Now I have to get out there and learn the ropes so I can become more than just a steering wheel holder. :|

 

Congratulations. and Good luck!

Keep reading and avoid the mistakes others have made and you'll do just fine!
