Understanding Automotive Issues

Welcome readers! My name is Rab. If you do not understand your auto, you will have no way to identify or repair your car. I didn't use to have the first clue how to repair a car. However, all of that changed when I decided to attend a local mechanical college so I could take an auto repair course. The course was pretty intense as I was a complete beginner but I learnt a great deal. Since completing the course, I have been working on my car to repair and improve it. I hope you enjoy reading my new blog!

Get A Passing Score: How To Prepare For Your MC Licence Test

by Samantha Nichols

If you're training for your MC licence, don't forget to prepare for the final drive test. The drive test will determine whether you receive your licence to operate multi-combination (MC) heavy vehicles. Because of that, it's important that you prepare for the process. In addition to practising for the written portion of the test, you also need to prepare for the behind-the-wheel portion of the test or the road test. If you're not sure how to prepare for your road test, here are four steps to help you get started. 

Understand Your Test Assessor

When you take the road test for your MC licence, you'll have a test assessor in the seat next to you. Their job is to assess your driving skills. It's important to note that the test assessors provide training as well. That means your assessor will know exactly what you've learned during your training and how you should perform those maneuvers. As a result, it's important that you take your time during your training to prepare for the road test.

Be Prepared for the Screen Time

Now that you're training for your MC licence, it's a good idea to give yourself some video practice. You might not realise this, but you'll be on camera throughout your road test. That's because the law requires that all of your road tests be recorded. If you're not prepared to be recorded, you might experience anxiety during the road test. Unfortunately, that anxiety could result in a failed test, which will prevent you from receiving your MC licence. To avoid anxiety, practice driving while being recorded. That way, you're prepared for the road test. 

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute

If you want to get to work as soon as possible after completing your training, don't wait to schedule your road test. There are specific times when road tests can be scheduled and completed. If you don't plan ahead, you could find yourself waiting longer to take your test. To avoid that, obtain a list of approved test dates, and schedule your appointment as soon as possible. 

Give Yourself Time for the Test

Finally, if you're getting ready to take your road test, be sure to give yourself ample time. Your road test will be timed, which means you'll be on the road until you've completed all of the required driving tasks that are on the list. If you don't complete each task properly, you risk receiving a failing score. Because of that, it's important that you take your time when completing each portion of the test.
