Getting your driver's license is a very exciting thing. It can also make a lot of people very nervous. People who feel nervous are not confident about their skills and their knowledge to pass a test. To develop the skills and the knowledge, you should do all of the following.

Ask an Adult to Tell You What You Need to Practice

Some parents try to encourage their kids by telling them they are doing everything well. You know what you are and are not doing well. To confirm what you think you know, ask one of your parents, a guardian, or your driver's education teacher what you need to practice. Ask them for their honest assessments. Then they will tell you what you need the most practice on, and what you actually do very well. That is much more helpful than tons of encouragement that really does not tell you how or why you may fail your first driving test.

Reread Your Driving Manual from the Written Test

If you passed your written test to get your permit, great. Reread the practice manual again. You would be surprised at how many teens forget what they learned from the written part of the test and then make a tiny little mistake that causes them to fail the driving part. You have to remember and obey all traffic laws, even while you are driving! It takes time, but if you memorize all you can about the traffic laws, and review it often, it will help you during the driving test.

Practice Every Chance You Get

Driving is a skill you have to learn and master. Almost nobody gets into the driver's seat without ever driving before and simply passes their driver's test! It is not something people are born to do, any more than people were born to drive horse and buggy during your great-great-great-grandparents' time.

You have to practice every chance you get and be proactive about asking your parents, guardians and other adult relatives in your life to take you out driving. If you avoid practicing and dodge requests to go driving, you can be certain that you will never pass your test and never obtain your license. If you are actively taking driving lessons, volunteer to drive the extra minutes offered if there is extra time available to drive an there are more kids in the car with you taking lessons.
