Many driving instructors in driving schools say: “Learning to drive and passing an exam at the traffic police are completely different things. Having passed all the stages of training and exams not so long ago, the author of this article can say with full confidence that this is true.
There are several principles, knowing which it is much easier to pass the exam. And vice versa - not knowing which ones, it is extremely difficult to pass an exam for driving a car in the traffic police, even if you know how to drive a car.
The training system in driving schools at the moment is such that it is not profitable for the instructor to teach the cadet all the tricks. After all, if a cadet fails the exam, he will pay for additional driving lessons and for retaking the exam.
The very first thing you should know is the place where the traffic police exam will take place. Ideally, you choose a driving school in the area and take your driving lessons in the same place where you take the exam. There are times when this is not possible, so try to travel around the area where the exam will take place at least a few times. If this area is very far away, it is possible to agree with someone from your study group and do a paired lesson: due to your lesson you will go there, and due to the lesson of the second person you will return back. Of course, you will spend a lot of time, you will have to take a day off from work. But you won't regret it. The instructor does not have to waste your lesson time on the way back, and you can not only drive yourself, but also look at the area as a passenger while another student is studying.
If you have the financial ability, it is advisable to take a few driving lessons on the eve of the exam from an independent instructor. Such an instructor does not receive money from you for retaking, he will honestly work off the money that you will pay for the lesson. It is better to choose such an instructor on the recommendation: that he knows the desired area well. How will he help you? He will tell you what your instructor is not profitable to tell you. Namely: on the driving exam in the traffic police, several mandatory elements are required - U-turn, turn, parking. The inspector may ask you to perform other maneuvers at his discretion, but these three elements will be mandatory. With a turn it is clear - where the inspector asked, there we turn. But with a U-turn and parking, everything is not so simple. It is for the sake of these maneuvers that you need to know the area. In any area where the exam takes place, there are always known (to the inspectors and driving instructors) good and bad places for turning and stopping / parking. You have 20 minutes for your exam. Therefore, it is not necessary, as soon as the inspector said to find a place for a turn, to turn around right away. Until these 20 minutes have elapsed since the start of your exam, you have the right to calmly look for a place to turn. The most important thing is that you must have time to return to the point where this task from the inspector sounded. You can safely drive several turns and intersections to find a place convenient for you, turn around and come back. The hardest part is to calm your nerves and remember the nearest convenient place to turn. The same goes for the parking space. When you are anywhere in the area, you must clearly remember where the nearest convenient turning and parking spots are.
Knowing the area thus greatly reduces anxiety during the exam. The traffic police inspectors pay attention to the condition of the driver behind the wheel first of all. You can do everything right, but if you are twitching and nervous, you will still not pass the exam.
Someone recommends taking the exam at the very beginning, someone at the end. I will tell you the advantages of each of these strategies. If you know that you are easily aroused, that your excitement starts to go off-scale from the expectation, be sure to sit down to take in the first rows, do not wind yourself up. If your nervous system allows you to remain sane while waiting, pass last, so you will be able to see the exam route. Usually a car with an inspector, an instructor and a cadet passing the exam drives in front, and the rest of the cars with other cadets follow. If you have a good instructor in your car, he will comment on the mistakes of the passing cadets. Also, you will notice that the inspector does not drive randomly around the area, he sets a specific route for the cadets. You will soon see yourself driving in circles. So you will have the opportunity to calmly remember all the convenient places mentioned above.
Such things will not be told to you in a driving school. But without knowing them, you risk giving the driving school a lot of money, in addition to the tuition fees. So listen to these tips: many passing the exam in the traffic police understood all this, only after one or even several unsuccessful attempts to pass the ezkamen.
