UCANTCME	He or she will do whatever it takes to help you out in this type of situation. STEERING Steer smoothly whether you are driving straight ahead, turning or backing up. ACCELERATION Accelerate smoothly and moderately. Don't race the engine or cause it to stall. BRAKING Bring the vehicle to a stop gently. Start braking well before your stopping position to avoid "jerky" stops. Make sure you stop your vehicle in the proper position of the lane. CLUTCH/GEAR Always be sure your vehicle is in the correct gear. With either an automatic or a manual transmission, shift into the proper gear at the right time without "grinding" the gears. SPEED Obey the posted speed limit, of course, but also adjust your speed properly due to weather, road, visibility and traffic conditions. FOLLOWING DISTANCE Keep an adequate space "cushion" between your vehicle and those you are following. Use the "two second rule" described in the Driver's Manual. Be sure to increase your following distance in poor weather or visibility. TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES Know the meanings of signs, signals and pavement markings, and obey them consistently. STOPPING POSITION If a stop is required, stop your vehicle before it reaches an intersecting street. If stop lines or crosswalks are present, stop before crossing them. If your view is blocked after stopping behind the crosswalk, move up until you can clearly see your way, then stop again if necessary. LANE SELECTION AND POSITION Keep your vehicle in the proper traffic lane, especially when preparing to make turns. Don't allow room for another vehicle to pass you on the side that you are turning toward. COMMUNICATION Let other drivers and pedestrians know which way you want to go. Use your directional signals or horn consistently and at the proper times. OBSERVATION Look for and identify potential problems or hazards in the traffic around you - not just straight ahead, but behind you and on either side. Check your mirrors frequently, but be sure to look over your shoulder behind you when changing lanes or backing up. ANTICIPATE & REACT TO OTHERS Anticipate possible driving errors by others and be ready to react safely to make up for their mistakes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

UV	Just keep a safe distance and remain alert and aware. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raina_vissora	Well, he would certainly warn you... most people have some sense of self preservation. But the general assumption is that if you're taking the final test for your license, you should be a good enough driver that an emergency break isn't warranted. If you're unnerved by the fact that the car is entirely under your control, and no one elses, you may want to rethink getting your license until you are more confident.

bks_zipmail	Depends on how good Your actually going to be able to drive that car. Slower speeds tends to increase safety. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pat A	don't worry its safe to have the examiner they go with you anyway you dont need the e-brake common rules - just follow speed limits stop before the limit line not over lol - ive done that they dock you- use your blinkers when turning into another lane, and also look over your shoulder when changing lanes to make sure your blind spot is clear keep about 2 to 3 car lengths back for safe distance and the instructor will warn you he or she will also help you out and notify you if you did something wrong so you not to do it again good luck on your test Was this answer helpful to you?

LoLo	Yes, if you were about to get into an accident your examiner would warn you. Also depending on the examiner ( I actually had a nice one) they may help you along the way, like quizzing you and if you don't know the answer they will tell you because it will count for points later down on the road.
