Driving on Various Road Types

A good grasp of the road types you’ll face can boost your test confidence. In Olney the driving test routes often feature these types of roads:

• Residential Streets: Quiet neighborhood avenues like East Elm Street will challenge you to drive cautiously, handle multiple stop signs smoothly, and remain attentive to pedestrians and parked cars on the roadside.
• City Driving Environments: On roads like South West Street, you’ll experience typical urban challenges like moderate traffic density, numerous intersections with crosswalks, and the requirement to perform safe lane changes.
• Merging and Speed Assessments: The test may incorporate major roads like IL-130 to evaluate your proficiency in handling increased traffic speeds and performing safe merges, essential skills for highway driving.
• Stop Signs and Signal Light Navigation: At key intersections such as S West St & IL-130, you must demonstrate safe stopping techniques, yield to both vehicles and pedestrians, and navigate complex traffic signals, some of which may have sensor-based changes.
• Multiple-Lanes: The multi-lane IL-130 near the Olney SOS office presents a scenario where proper lane usage, timely signaling, and maintaining or adjusting speed during lane changes are essential skills you’ll need to display during the test.

The DMV Behind-The-Wheel Road Test

Your road test will include several important elements, many of which you can practice ahead of time, such as:

1. Start, Merge, and Stop Skills: The examiner will check your ability to start the car gently, merge into traffic without hesitation, and come to a full stop at the appropriate places like stop signs or crosswalks without abrupt halts.
2. Right and Left Turns: On your test, you’ll be asked to make both right and left turns, signaling correctly, staying in your lane, and following the necessary traffic rules for safe turning.
3. Blind Spot and Mirror Checks: Regularly checking your mirrors and always looking over your shoulder before lane changes or merges is a key requirement for passing the driving test.
4. Emergency Braking: In certain situations, the examiner could test how well you can perform an emergency stop, assessing how swiftly and securely you stop the vehicle.
5. Straight-Line Backing: The test will assess your skill in backing up for about 50 feet while looking over your shoulder to maintain a straight line without depending on mirrors.
