For those who don't know, Ontario has a graduated driver's licensing system. I just booked my test for the last level of that. So. On the 19th, I will be trying for my permanent license.

o.o

I'm terrified. I've been putting this off for months.


Mind, I probably will get it, as I've been told I'm a fairly good driver and then I will be very happy and relieved.

You are a good driver. :p You shouldn't be worried about it at all.

I, on the other hand, still need to retake my G1 exit test xD

You can fail if you don't shoulder check enough. But that doesn't mean normal shoulder checking like I do. It means super-exagerrated so they can see shoulder checking. There are also a lot of really stupid things that can fail you instantly. I know someone who failed because she stopped for a pedestrian but they waved her to keep going. So. Yeah. I've heard bad things.

Go to Smith Falls for it. It's easier and you'll get a test sooner.

Hmm, really? Okay, maybe I'll try that. As soon as my parents think I've gotten "enough" practice. :p No idea when that will be, as they've been putting it off for several weeks now.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine :)
Especially since you already know about the shoulder-check thing.. shoulder check for everything and make sure they know you're doing it!

Another thing I was told you can do is to talk to the examiner, and just explain what you're doing like a self narration.

Thank you. I'll take that into consideration.
