Follow our 10 tips for driving test success!!

STAY FOCUSED: Don't loose focus by dwelling on the mistakes you have already made. Continue to drive with the best of your ability!

FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMITS: Obey posted speed limits and adjust your speed based on road conditions. Speed limits and temporary speed limits must be followed.

KEEP A SFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE: Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. The general rule is to keep at least a two-second gap to allow for reaction time. a 4 second gap is recommended in wet weather.

USE YOUR INDICATORS: Signal your intentions to other drivers by using your turn signals. Signal left to leave a roundabout, even when going straight! This helps create a predictable and safer driving environment.

CHECK YOUR MIRRORS AND BLINDSPOTS: Check your mirrors before slowing and turning. Add your blindspots before crossing over or changing into lanes travelling the same way as you, to ensure there are no other vehicles in your way.

READ TRAFFIC SIGNS: Follow traffic signs, signals, and road markings. They provide important information and help maintain a smooth flow of traffic.

BE MINDFUL OF WEATHER CONDITIONS: Adjust your driving according to weather conditions. Slow down in rain, snow, or fog, and leave extra space between vehicles.

PEER PRESURE: Stay calm and patient, don't rush. Aggressive drivers behind you, tailgating or weaving in and out of traffic, can lead to accidents. Be aware that they are there in case you need to slow down but your main responsibility is to the traffic ahead of you.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE: Your examiner will check your car for a current WOF, brakes lights, indicators, horn and tyres to ensure your vehicle is in good working condition. Check them before you go!

Remember, responsible and defensive driving is key to ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Always be aware of your surroundings and look twelve seconds ahead to anticipate potential hazards to make informed decisions while driving.

Useful tip Most all vehicles have a recirculation button with the AC controls in their cars. But many of us are unsure when to use it.

Well, the easy answer is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.

The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it in the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days like today when it is miserably hot outside, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, than your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.
- Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, its better to roll the windows down and turn recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculate on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculate. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!
