Skipping Gears when leaving the high way into the ramp and wide turns

If this road test is for the DMV (as opposed to a pre-hire road test for a potential employer) then ask the examiner in advance if you're allowed to skip gears. That seems like a lot of braking in a pretty short distance, I might start slowing down sooner and be at the top of 8th (instead of in 9th) going into the ramp.

6th.

Try to keep all of your tires between the white and yellow lines. If that's not possible then do what you have to in order to keep the equipment away from the edge of the pavement, you don't want to make contact with the wall or drop a tire off into the grass.

Good luck on your test!

 

Be cautious about coasting in neutral. They can fail you for that.

 

I would not skip gears. They want you to drive exactly like you are supposed to. When I took my test in 2012 they wanted to see a death grip on the shifter.

 

Sounds like a job for the "mystery gear",,
