driving test coming d...

2 weeks more to driving test!!!! :-|

oh God...i need to practice intersections, change lanes, keep space around the car, and most importantly i need to master hill parking, parallel parking, and U-turn.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

yes! I did practice to drive in a bad weather... on sand road with potholes, tar road and small hill but I didn't practice at night. =.=

what to do if emergency or an accident occurs

then this will determine whether I can pass my driving test

The conclusion is I need more practice!

a driver uses 97% on mental & 3% on physical to drive a car

FOCUS!
