Examiners’ tips for passing the  Class 5 and 7 road tests 170 Here are some tips from driver examiners on how to prepare to  pass these tests: • Keep to the posted speed limits. Don’t try to keep up with  speeding traffic. • Watch for school and playground zones. Speeding through  school and playground zones is a common reason for drivers  to fail their test.  • Make full stops at stop signs, and make sure you stop in the  correct position. When it’s safe to move out, pull out slowly,  scanning the intersection. • When turning right, shoulder check to the right to ensure  there are no cyclists, pedestrians or other road users heading straight through the intersection (and therefore into your path). • Mirror check, signal and shoulder check whenever you  change lanes or direction. • Keep a safe distance from other vehicles. • Scan intersections before driving through, even if the light is  green when you approach. • When merging onto a highway, use the acceleration lane to  get up to the speed of the highway traffic, while remaining  within the speed limit. The rest of the manoeuvre is a lane  change. • Practise all the manoeuvres you may be asked to do as part  of your road test, including parallel parking, parking on a hill,  and 2- and 3-point turns. • If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! We’ll be  happy to answer them before you start your road test.
