HOW TO CURE DRIVING TEST NERVES

Here are some effective ways to help calm and manage your nerves before and during a driving test:

1. Tell yourself you're ready - Your instructor wouldn't have put you forward if you weren't prepared.

2. Keep it low-key - Don't tell everyone about your test to reduce pressure.

3. Eat something light - Have a small meal or snack to fuel your brain.

4. Pretend it's just another lesson - Treat it like a mock test to reduce anxiety.

5. Arrive with plenty of time - Get to the test center early to avoid rushing.

6. Don't cram practice on test day - A short drive is fine, but avoid intensive last-minute practice.

7. Stay hydrated but avoid excess caffeine - Water is better than too much coffee for nerves.

8. Use the bathroom beforehand - Eliminate potential distractions.

9. Take your time during the test - There's no rush, so focus on being safe and thorough.

10. Use calming techniques - Deep breathing or positive visualization can help.

11. Have a lesson right before - A quick drive with your instructor can boost confidence.

12. Consider natural remedies - Some find Bach Rescue Remedy helpful for calming nerves.

13. Get a good night's sleep - Being well-rested improves focus and reactions.

Remember, nerves are normal. Stay positive and trust in your preparation. The driving test examiner wants you to succeed and is just evaluating your ability to drive safely.

We would thoroughly recommend taking a mock driving test with another driving instructor before sitting the real thing.
