Hey guys. Well, today's the day I finally take the test to get my Driver's License. If anybody wants to give me tips, heads-up, or just wish me luck, comment below

and I'll post an update thread about if I pass or not.

From personal experience, I can tell you that this is where the real learning starts. If anything, I suggest being careful. You're driving something that weighs over 1,000 pounds down the street at high speeds. If you aren't being careful, things can go sourly wrong.

Be very slow on the clutch, try to keep the revs equal so you don't be jumpy (they get bitchy). Ride the clutch for the paralell parking section, maybe drive a low car so you can see the lines from your window . Make low shifts, they don't realy like noise. Try to keep understeer to a minimum and don't EVER overcorrect. There is no such thing as going too slow, but don't just idle it. You can go 0-4mph above the speed limit, but you can't break any other laws. Keep your foot on the brake at stop lights and downshift to decel. Make slow starts, don't rush up to speed. Blinker EVERY TIME.

You're assuming he drives manual...

Even if he doesn't, all of those apply except for riding the clutch, just ride the brakes in that sense.

Don't be a dumbass like me and speed, you'll lose your license for a while

Speeding, yeah... Lost my license shortly after getting it for doing 115mph over. Plus i've gotten bitch slapped multiple times for racing people.

Also, just in case he doesn't really know how to drive (and 4 @Oni for owning an automatic :/) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd8Ip2BzXKE

I agree with Roger on this one, and I in addition advise not to drive under the influence.

Just don't over-think/panic, driving is a privilege, it was fairly easy for me as long as you follow the regulations.
Best of luck.

This cannot be overstated. It might seem worth it while you need a ride from a party and want to go home, but I'd suggest sleeping in the car. It's not worth losing your life as you know it. I recommend meeting people that are responsible. I always have a close friend and make sure they don't drink if I'm doing heavy partying. Never had any issues. In the end, overpriced taxi fare is much better than "buzzed" driving.
