i took my test in a 5-speed. make sure it's not some rice'd out car, or there might be predjudice before you start.
he commented a few times on the way i drive standard - as in, i shouldn't be in 5th gear while going 60 on 16th ave into ubc. and things like, i shouldn't shift up from 2nd to 3rd if i know there's a stop sign at the end of the block. but nothing major enough to actually make me fail my test.
if you're not comfortable driving stick, don't do the test with a manual car. i learned to drive in a 5 spd, so i was comfortable enough. don't turn the wheel when doing a left turn until you are ready to move. keep the car pointed straight. don't change lanes in the intersection. always keep both hands on the wheel if possible - unless you're doing hand over hand while turning. if you're driving stick, don't shift in an intersection, don't shift while in the middle of a turn (you'd rather go slowly and not rev up the engine, and shift at the end of the turn)

I think I'll take mine during rush hour to kill some time trying to merge  | More or less exactly what I said I did :S
But if they KNOW it's going to be super busy... then they might not take you on that highway, they make take you, using smaller streets to like coquitlam, and make you enter and exit a highway there.

Don't forget your following distance. When you go on the highway, they expect something like 4 car lengths between you and the car in front of you.
Even in the city, leave around 2 seconds worth of distance betwee you and the car in front of you. Stopping, leave space, so that you can clearly see the rear of the tires of the car in front of you. Leaving space is important when going up hills too.

If you don't, keep it below. They can't really ding you as easily for going BELOW speed limit.

When you're merging onto a highway, you need to match the speed of the traffic.
If you don't trust me, ask your tester before you start the test. They always give time in the beginning for you to ask questions.

Couldn't take it today. I had tinted front windows, and everybody else was busy, or their cars are even more illegal.
Sat there for 5 hours on standby before they told me "Sorry, can't fit you in"
Went home, switched cars, went to superstore, and the fucking Axle snaps on me.
Fucked up day.

^^ sry to hear that man. gl next time!
um yea wut nns said..when your merging you have to match the speed traffic is going...so say ur merging onto #1 and the cars are going ~80-90 you'll need to match it. they'll dock marks off if ur too slow. if the cars are going fast just look how long ur merging lane is and u'll be fine.
