Terese,keep calm and be alert of the speed limits
and your surroundings. A friend of mine was so anxious that she
did not hear the ambulance siren wailing behind her and kept
on driving. She failed and the tester was irate at her.
Good luck,
Yoong

Drive slooooooow...keep to the posted limits.

Actually STOP at the stop signs


Make a big show of using your mirrors and doing the shouldercheck, then indicate before manouvering ( I know most canadians dont bother, but the tester might want to see that)


Good Luck!

Watch Canada's Worst Driver and have a good laugh. These people all passed their driving tests and have licences, so you have a good chance of passing too.

On the speed limit thingy the examiners like to take you through a school zone or recreation zone with a 30km/h limit. Keep to 30km/h until you pass the sign in the opposite direction.

Oh, and shoulder check.

Yes, you'll need to shoulder check to see that the sign facing the other way is the school zone one.
