    Good advice.

    You can only drive one vehicle at a time. Also, don't let somebody else drive your vehicle. If somebody cuts you off and slows down, and you can safely pass them, then do so. Don't let him slow you up (more in real life situation than in school) just because he is on his 11th hour and falling asleep. If somebody cuts you off and you make your way around again, and they keep messing with you, then maybe it is time to take a 14 minute break at the next exit. Let that section of traffic go past, and start fresh.

    Just a few thoughts.

    """""There are the written tests, of which you're already nervous. That's completely understandable and I know it's easy for us to say "don't sweat it" but really, don't sweat it. There are many, many drivers out there that came before you that passed their tests and one would wonder if they even know how to spell their own name. """"
    I've seen it in the electrical field...
