I'm really nervous about driving on the open road... What do instructors look for the most?
-
correct signal use and looking both ways as you go through

Wear your seatbelt. Make sure you come to complete stop at stop signs and lights. Use signals. Try to relax. Or when they get in tell them to hang on WERe GOING FOR A RIDE. Lol! Good luck you can do it
-
Most important thing, stay calm. I'm sure you will do more than fine. Good luck

Try not to flip anyone the bird, shout at other drivers or steer with your knees while reaching for your iPhone to respond to a TW PM.
You'll be fine. -

Make sure you brush your teeth before hand and don't show up smelling of booze and/or weed.
Remember, always wear clean underware. You never know when you'll be in am accident.
Don't worry, you'll be fine. -

On a serious note, DON'T swerve to avoid anything except a person or another vehicle. Anything else is toast. Cat, dog, squirrel, jackalope, all kinds of shit runs into the street when you're driving. Gut reaction is to yank the wheel and avoid them. This usually results in you crashing into another vehicle, inanimate object or worse a pedestrian. Any of which makes for a very bad day and slim to no chance of getting your license. General rule of thumb, if it's smaller than a microwave and it's in you think your gonna hit it, accelerate it and take it out quickly and humanily.
Don't worry, you'll be fine. -

Oh yeah, if you see the damn groundhog, flatten that fucker! I'm so sick of winter shit.
Speaking of which, steer into a skid, pump your brakes - don't jam them and if you end up in a lake, wait until the car fills with water and pressure equalizes prior to trying to get out. Unless of course you're in a convertible with the top down.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine. Try not to think about too much. Just relax. -
Just don't spook em and you good.

Mirror, signal, maneuver... Repeat, repeat, repeat. If ur learning manual, remember to always leave the vehicle stationed in neutral.

good luck! you'll do great!

JESUS H CHRIST! I'm staying off the streets!!

Keep a handful of spare change in your cup holder, when passing fat people, grab the change, accelerate to an extreme speed and hurl the change at said fat people as hard as possible... Driving instructors are like cops, just make em laugh... Or hide their body where no one will ever find it.
-
Perhaps you shouldn't mention your TW name during the lesson? LOL
-
Honestly I wouldn't even swerve for a person in my semi. I would hold tight and cringe as they get sucked under the bumper. Then I would probably cry cuz I'm a puss. Cars are much quicker and could cause less damage so go ahead and swerve for people. Don't drive too close behind large trucks, don't drive next to the right of a truck and sit there. We have very large blind spots.

If it's you first lesson the thing driving instructors want most is for you to listen. Just chill out I doubt you will be going fast enough for anything bad to happen

I texted while I did my test. Did a wee bit of turfwars too. Either my drivers test guy was extremely oblivious or I'm amazing.
