Preparing for your road test

The following tips will help you prepare for your road test.

• Get behind the wheel as often as possible with a supervising driver who has a valid driver's licence and who is not a novice driver.
• Practise driving the way you were taught by the driver educator.
• Make sure your signal lights, brake lights and horn are working properly.
• Familiarize yourself with your vehicle (i.e., know where things are located, how to turn on the windshield wipers, defroster, emergency flashers, etc.).
• Make sure you have a valid licence plate on the back of your vehicle. Your road test can be refused if your vehicle is unsafe or not equipped in accordance with the law.

The Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook is a great resource when preparing for your test. For supervising drivers, A Guide for Parents of New Drivers - The Co-Pilot's Manual can guide you in your supervision.
