Tips til førerprøven ?

[tbjorn]

Hi everyone !

 

I'm 25 from Trondheim, Lived abroad for many years and moved back to Norway a year ago, taking my driving test soon (Feb.16)

 

I've been driving for over 6 years, but since it had nothing to do with Norway I had to start all over again with obligatory courses from K.M.S traffikkskole (Finished), I took theory test and (Finished) and did my first Driving test and failed !

 

Reason was my driving wasn't "Safe" enough, didn't break any laws, but speed was a little high while entering roundabouts. I think I did ok, but meh, who cares..

 

So, do you guys have any tips for my next test? and any common mistakes ?? my teacher went with me through this, but i wanted to know if you guys have any other stuff to look out for !

 

Also, share your horror stories from your test day in this thread, this shit is funny !

 

TL;DR;

1-Taking driving test second time, want to pass, tips pls.

2-Share your story.

Yea, drive really slowly up to roundabouts and crossroads, they like that shit. And you have to be in a high gear at all times, my friend failed because she wasn't driving "economical" enough...

 

Og Golf2td: du er jo fra USA, så du må da kunne litt tastaenglish i det minste?

golf er bare krangelaktig da han selv ikke lengre innehaver førerkortet ;)

Tbjorn: Watch what goes on around you at ALL times. People, parked cars, dogs - you name it. Make sure you know they are there, and make sure you show (with your driving) that you know they are there. Also - don't drive too fast, but neither too slow; follow the speed limit if it seems reasonable to do. No reason to drive around in 50 if both the road and the law allows 70.

Faktisk ikke, han parodierer Rsele... (som gjerne skriver et inlegg i en tråd bare for å fortelle at han ikke vil hjelpe.)

 

I have another tip, because you are a experienced driver, turn your head in roundabouts and crossroads, often i just glance with my eyes, but its hard for anyone to see this, if you turn your head to see, its easy for the sensor to see that your checking:)

Hold deg til saken!

I would say it's important to drive calm and smooth. Look far ahead, and reduce the speed in front of roundabouts and intersections early enough that you can just let go of the accelerator, and not brake. A common problem is that while you are braking enough to stop in front of the roundabout, your might be approaching quickly enough for other drivers to think you might not yield.

 

This is also applicable for speed reductions in front of turns, reduce the speed by letting go of the accelerator, not by braking. And do it early enough. Smoother, safer and more economical.

 

If the sensor moves his foot and touch the brake pedal, then you have basically failed. He/she needs to feel safe at all times. Don't let him wonder IF you will slow down in front of a turn or a roundabout.

 

Good luck!
