Ministry-Test-
 
guys,

i have my commercial license test in 2 weeks.
1. i have trouble judging corners all the time, i tend to go wide all the time.left or right turns.but im not hitting anything.
wide at the "ministry test" just will not cut it, i need some advice.
2. i forget to cancel my signal all the time. because im too busy shifting.
3. as of late i feel alot of stress coming on now, due to the ministry test.
how did you cope with it?


I appreciate all suggestions.

Probably referring to the drive test, his location is listed as Canada so the drive test is probably administered by the Ministry of Transportation?

The turns take a little practice, set-up is very important, right turn = get to your left about 30' before the turn, pull across right lane and turn, keep to your left until your tandems clear and come back to your right lane. Same process for left turns just reverse it! As for cancelling signals, try to remember to enter a turn in a gear that you can finish it in, then when you're all in your lane and straight, cancel your signal before you shift!

MTLSTAR, which prov. are you in & how did you find Ministry test?

mtlstar 03-11-2007 09:18 AM

i live in the province of Ontario

the written MTO tests was easy it was 3 test of 20 questions each
test 1 20 questions was all about trucks allowed to miss 4 questions
test 2 20 questions was all about regular buses allowed to miss 4 questions

Talk to your instructor to get more comfortable. When you get aquainted on a more personal level, you might calm down more. Continue to talk through what you are doing, as it will take your mind off your nerves, as well as prompt yourself. This will reassure you are not forgetting something, and I doubt your instructor will mind...as they like to hear what you are doing, as you are doing it.

I think you will relax as you get into it, and see yourself succeeding. Don't place so much pressure on yourself...and yak it up. Have fun with it...really...try to simply enjoy the experiance.

Take deep breaths through your nose! Serious...you will naturally relax and give yourself oxygen.
If you mouth breath..it tends to be shallow, and hyperventilating.
