RoyDrive's Tips on how to pass your NYS road test in Hicksville
There is often a long line, and you may spend about a half hour in-line before getting to the front. Be advised that although there is a line, everyone has the same time for the test. Do not be later than ten to fifteen minutes. If you forget your original documents such as MV-278 or MV-262 for testing, you will have to reschedule the test.
One of the DMV personnel, the chief examiner, will check your documents before the test begins. You may change drivers after that, but do not leave the student driver alone in the car.
STARTING: Your first turn is likely a right at the first stop sign. Do not cut any one off, if they have to brake for you, then you did cut them off. Next is
definitely a left turn on the first or second road ahead. It is possible you may park here, but the next turn right is critical to passing the test. It will be a right turn. Wait until all lanes are clear of all traffic for about one block. ( be patient, the examiner will not rush you).
Next, the examiner will ask for a left turn at the next light. You must change lanes ahead of time, that is why you waited for all lanes to become clear! Do not trust the examiner to tell you when to change lanes. You should know that already because of the left turn coming up.
The left turn at the light is normal. I cannot teach you how to do that here. Once step three and four are completed safely, your test is about eighty percent complete.
On the return to where you started the test, if you find yourself approaching the seven eleven store, there will be a left turn coming up. That intersection is very large and complex. There are two roads for a left turn. Be sure to ask the examiner which one to turn on if you are not sure. The test will end opposite of where you began in step one above. Be sure to signal right to end the test.
