Master Different Road Conditions

A smooth driving test begins with knowing the roads. On your test in Galena be prepared to handle several different types of roads, such as:

• Residential Streets: Quiet neighborhood avenues like Bench Street will challenge you to drive cautiously, handle multiple stop signs smoothly, and remain attentive to pedestrians and parked cars on the roadside.
• Busy Main Streets: Galena Square Drive and similar urban roads in the area present typical city conditions where you will need to deal with moderate traffic congestion, multiple stoplights, and frequent lane changes.
• Major Arterial Roads: Roads such as US-20 may be included in your test to simulate highway driving conditions, challenging you to manage higher speeds and execute merges into busy traffic effectively.
• Intersections Requiring Stopping and Yielding: Places like US-20 & Galena Square Dr will test your ability to come to full stops, yield appropriately, and proceed through intersections controlled by various traffic signals and signs, ensuring safety and compliance.
• Multi-Lane Streets: Near the Galena SOS, US-20 presents a multi-lane environment where you’ll be evaluated on correct lane usage, proper signaling before lane changes, and maintaining consistent speed while merging or overtaking other vehicles.

Key Elements of the Behind-The-Wheel Test

On test day, you will be evaluated on various driving tasks that you can prepare for in advance, including:

1. Merging onto Busy Roads: During your test, you might be asked to merge onto a road with faster-moving traffic, requiring you to join smoothly by maintaining a consistent and safe speed.
2. Executing Right and Left Turns: During the test, you’ll need to demonstrate proper signaling and lane discipline while making right and left turns, adhering to traffic laws for safe maneuvering.
3. Regular Mirror and Blind Spot Checks: During the test, you will need to frequently check your mirrors and always look over your shoulder before changing lanes or merging.
4. Three-Point Turn Demonstration: The test requires you to perform a three-point turn or K-turn to successfully turn the car around in a narrow space.
5. Backing Up with Precision: A part of the test requires you to back up in a straight line for approximately 50 feet, making sure to look over your shoulder rather than just using mirrors.
