Inside the vehicle:

Make sure that you go through your process of checks when you get into the vehicle every time when you are new so you don’t forget at the test. Check the following:
Seat adjustment
rear view mirror
side view mirror

Let the Examiner see you doing this. Don’t assume. 

You begin to move the car forward through the first set of cones and as you approach the second set of cones with the side view mirror, turn the wheel 180 degrees, or a half turn, in the direction instructed. This will move the car around the single cone at the end. 

As you approach the single cone you will turn the wheel in the opposite direction 360 degrees or a full turn right after your side view mirror passes that single cone. This will take you back to straight and then a half turn the other direction wrapping you around the cone so you end up parallel with all the cones. When your back bumper aligns with the single cone, just stop. Leave the wheel where it is at. 

If your examiner tells you to wait for their command, do that. Just pay attention to how the examiner instructs you. They may just tell you to come to a complete stop and reverse. 

As you reverse the process your wheel is already 180 degrees or a half turn if you don’t turn it back as you get around that single cone. As your rear view mirror passes that cone you turn the wheel 360 degrees again the opposite direction and that will start the car turning to bend around the outside cone to bring you in the middle. Half a turn to straight and the other half turn to make the turn. As you approach that “second” set of cones (the first ones this direction) you turn the wheel 180 degrees to get it to straight and complete the exercise making sure that the vehicle is straight and the bumper is in the proper place you were instructed to stop. Usually they want you to stop with the bumper in line with the cones but again, pay attention to your examiner.

That’s it! It really is that simple. You need to practice this a few times but once you get the hang of it it is super easy. You’ll pass your test with no problems.

If you are here because you didn’t pass the exam and you still need that 4 hour course? The information for that is either below in the video description or in the sidebar depending on where you’re seeing the video. You need the Abbreviated Adult Driver Training course.

What you should get from this is that you should know how far turning the wheel makes your car turn.  As you can see, there is a way to measure it and you should do this enough that you know it. You should also take note that the steering wheel should be lined up if you’re going straight. If it isn’t. Then you need an alignment on the front end of the car. If you really practice, you’ll know how far your car is going to turn by how much you turn the wheel. Bet you have no idea now… You need to learn that.

Thanks for watching and tell your friends!
