You've earned your learner's permit, and you're now halfway to becoming a licensed driver. It's a very exciting time, but this excitement can be tinged with worry. Every student worries. We know this, and we'd like to share some of our top tips with all our student drivers in Silver Spring, MD. These tips will help you as you're working through the months before you can take your driver's test. Practice When you've earned your learner's permit, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) requires a gap before you can apply for your driver's test. While many students want to rush straight to their driver's test, this imposed delay is both helpful and important. To apply for your driver's test, you have to show that you've completed a driver's education course and have sixty hours of practical driving experience. The 18-month restriction allows you plenty of time to complete these necessary steps and to gain even more hours of driving practice. Driving is a learned skill, and with any skill, the more you practice, the better you will get at it. You have to practice with a licensed driver over 21 years old, but we're sure that your family and friends will be very eager to help you. more Don't Stress Stress is a part of life. Any time someone is faced with a problem, or something they don't fully understand, stress is a natural reaction. It's important, however, not to let stress become a problem. You've learned and already proven that you understand the rules that govern driving by gaining your learner's permit. This shows that you know what you're doing. When you understand something, stress is no longer an issue. Stress can cloud your judgment, reduce your reaction times, and make it difficult to enjoy your time behind the wheel. If you focus on the positive, the knowledge and understanding you already have, your stress level will reduce. Try to relax and enjoy the feeling that each day you'll learn something new about driving. You'll also be another day closer to your driving test. Always Ask Questions One of the quickest and easiest ways to learn is to ask questions. If there's something about driving you don't understand, always ask someone. When you're learning, there's no such thing as a wrong or stupid question. If you ask family, friends, or your driving instructor about driving, they'll be happy to help you. At one point, every driver was in the same position you are. Your family, friends, and instructors all want to help you. If you don't ask questions, you could make errors. These errors could even result in failing your driver's test. No one wants that to happen, so ask, learn, and make your driver's test a great success.
