Driving test on Friday. Do u guys have any tips for me 😭😭

1. when doing 'straight line backing': after turning your head and looking through the back window, pick the roadline or curb you are trying to back along & imagine a needle head at the point where the line crosses the bottom your back window: fixate on that point & then your job is to thread the needle.

2. When stopping at stop signs, you have to come to a complete stop where you (& your evaluator) can actually see the white stop line in front of your bumper (which nobody actually does in reality, because non-toddlers have object permanence), only then can you start creeping forward to see the oncoming traffic. I still passed, but I lost points for this.

3. Signal and physically turn your head whenever switching lanes, don't just dart your eyes, because your evaluator is looking for head movement.

can you explain “threading the needle” but this is great advice thank you!!

Meaning: try to keep the spot where the line/curb goes out of view as you reverse the same. The idea is that too many drivers focus on trying to "keep the wheel straight" rather than trying to "keep the car straight."
