Have you failed your driving test? Take heart, you are not the first; neither are you the only one. Don't waste any more time feeling down. The sooner you start preparing for a retake, the higher your chances of passing.  

Adequate preparation is key. Enrolling in a driving school helps you to prepare for your retake in a systematic way.

Driving School

Some states, such as Virginia, require that you go for mandatory lessons if you failed the driving test three times. The lessons need to be in the area where you failed, either on the knowledge test or the practical test.

Driving schools are familiar with driving tests and know what skills are required to pass it. Here are a few examples of key skills you are likely to learn when you enroll in a driving school.

Starting, Accelerating, and Stopping

You will learn how to start your car smoothly, how to anticipate your stops, and how to avoid sudden, jerky braking.

Changing Gears

Driving in the right gear and changing gears properly are crucial if you are driving a manual car, and those are points your examiners will be keen on.

Traffic signs

You need to know the traffic signs, recognize them on the ground, and obey them. You will need to pay particular attention to signs found at intersections, such as "yield", "stop," or "no u-turn" markers.

Keeping Distance

You will learn how to keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you. This is to give you enough room to brake in case the car in front stops suddenly. You will also know how to adjust the distance in case of bad weather.

Changing Lanes

Your driving test examiner will be looking at how you use and change lanes. The driving school will teach you how to choose the correct lane for where you are going. You will also learn how to change lanes safely.

Reversing

Reversing is a key skill required to pass your driving test. You will learn how to use your side mirrors, but also how to ensure extra safety.

Defensive Driving

You will learn how to anticipate errors by other drivers. This is what is called defensive driving. You will also learn how to drive on the freeway and in the city.

So if you have a driving test retake, consider enrolling in adult drivers education. A driving school will save you money and time, and help you get it right once and for all.
