    Are you in Nashville? Which school are you in?

    As for your question; do not do rolling stops; come to a complete stop before continuing through the intersection.

    Do not hit curbs; plan ahead and swing wide when making turns to avoid hitting curbs.

    First off take a deep breath. Listen to the examiner understand what they are saying and think about what you need to do to perform the menuver. Keep aware of your surroundings and keep scanning your mirrors. You got this. Stay positive.

    I was born & raised in Nashville area.
    Are you going flatbed? I asked because you're in the Flatbed thread.
