I failed the first time.
Things to remember:
1. Turn Signals (blinkers)
2. Slower is better (instructor feels safer, knows you're not a hot-head)
3. LEARN TO PARALLEL PARK (It's easy)
4. Lean back, relax, and keep your hands on the wheel. If you can' relax, the guy can't either.
5. Always keep your head turned completely around when backing up (except to check your front for a second if at an angle)
6. Hope you get an old man who doesn't even know how he got the job or whats going on like I did.
