Your Kia dealer has seen plenty of excited new drivers come through their doors. Are you prepping for your driver's license test? These handy tips will help you go into the big day with confidence. Kia Dealer Tip 1: Practice Makes Perfect The test will include a written portion and an actual driving test. When trying out your driving skills, begin in an unoccupied area like an empty parking lot. This space will enable you to make mistakes without fear of causing an accident. You should practice with someone who can give constructive and honest feedback. A good companion driver might also grade you on relevant skills. As the test day approaches, begin familiarizing yourself with the roads around the testing center and drive any potential routes that your tester may ask you to take. In addition, make sure that you take the test in a reliable automobile with which you are comfortable. Knowing your vehicle will help you master the pre-drive checklist that takes place beforehand. Tip 2: Obey Rules of the Road The driving test is the time when you put all the information you memorized into practice. Staying alert to road signs and to the drivers around you is incredibly important, so make sure you get a good night's sleep and arrive a little early on test day. Maintain your speed strictly within the limit and keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. To lessen the chances of an accident with another driver, try to stay in the right lane unless you must make a turn or are instructed to change lanes. Further, if at all possible, schedule your test in a less urban area in order to avoid the headache of busy traffic. Tip 3: Don't Forget Parking Most driving tests will include some form of out-of-the-norm parking, whether it be backing into a space or the often-dreaded parallel parking. Set aside time to focus exclusively on learning different parking techniques. Take some traffic cones to an empty lot and you'll have a good, no-risk way to grasp the basics. Keep in mind simple rules like looking before reversing as well as braking gently, and you'll be well on your way to conquering any parking challenge. And get a leg-up on parking with the Kia Sorento. In addition to being named Most Dependable Midsize SUV, this safety-minded auto boasts parking collision avoidance and a 360-degree Surround View Monitor system that helps make parking a cinch. Tip 4: Study Up for Your Written Driver's License Test Before you can even test your skills on the road, you'll need to ace the written test. Fortunately, accessing information's never been easier. State driver manuals provide all the local road rules you'll need, and readily available practice tests can help you determine what areas need more of your attention. Maryland's Rookie Driver Program is also an invaluable asset. From the Maryland MVA, you can access online tutorials, guides, and other resources designed for your benefit. The state's graduated licensing program also builds completion of a driver education course into its licensure requirements.
