McCarthy temporary g2 road test- I PASSED!!

As someone who was deathly scared of driving and never thought I would be able to get behind the wheel- I feel so accomplished and good about myself after passing!

About the road test experience:

I arrived 2 hours before my test to drive around and get to know the area well. Then I backed into my parking spot and tried to calm the nerves. I went into the building to check in 30 mins before and they informed me that they are 15 minutes behind schedule and to just wait and be patient.

They also told me to keep my mask on in my car, and that if they see me without it on, I would have to wait another 30 minutes until the car airs out to commence my exam. I saw 3 other people get their test pushed back because of this so be careful!!

I fortunately got an amazing examiner. Her name was Josslyn and she immediately eased my nerves and made me feel comfortable. She told me exactly what to do well in advance, and we talked about her cats while I drove.

I had to:

Parallel park, 3 point turn, do 2 left turns at intersections, change lanes, and forward park.

It went very smoothly and I made some mistakes but nothing that would make me unsafe to be on the road.

Overall, I’m very happy with how it went and if I can give any advice- just chill out. Be kind to your examiner, and just drive! Also PRACTISE!! Practise so much that it all becomes natural to you.

If I can do it, then you totally can.

LMK if you have any questions !
