Getting ready for your driving test can feel a little overwhelming—but with the right preparation, you can walk into it with full confidence. At Manish Driving School, we want to make sure you’re 100% ready for the big day. Here’s a complete guide to help you prepare smoothly.
✅ 1. Know the Test Format
Before anything else, understand how the test works in your city. In Mumbai, the driving test generally includes:
- Basic vehicle control
- Following road signs
- Parallel parking or reversing
- Hill starts (in some areas)
- General road awareness and safety
Ask your instructor or visit the RTO website to know the exact steps.
✅ 2. Practice Makes Perfect
The more time you spend behind the wheel, the more natural it feels.
- Practice in both quiet and busy roads.
- Focus on parking, lane discipline, smooth gear shifting (for manual cars), and using mirrors.
- Simulate real test conditions during practice.
✅ 3. Know Your Vehicle
Make sure you’re comfortable with the car you’ll be using for the test.
- Know the clutch, brake, accelerator sensitivity.
- Learn where all controls are (indicators, wipers, lights).
- Adjust your seat and mirrors properly before you start driving.
✅ 4. Brush Up on Traffic Rules
Even if you’re a good driver, not knowing basic traffic signs and rules can lead to test failure.
- Review common traffic signs and their meanings.
- Learn hand signals (sometimes required).
- Follow proper speed limits, stopping rules, and right of way.
✅ 5. Stay Calm and Focused
Nerves are natural, but don’t let them control you.
- Get a good night’s sleep before the test.
- Avoid too much caffeine right before.
- Take deep breaths and stay relaxed.
- Remember: Your goal isn’t perfection, it’s safe, confident driving.
