The best way to prepare for the road test is by practicing. You can get ready by:

Driving through empty areas and gradually easing into heavier traffic is a safe approach for brand new drivers.
Drive on the actual DMV testing routes. When practicing, pay attention to hidden signs that you may miss on the road test.

Some places in Nevada don’t have driving schools for several miles. Find a list of schools at http://www.dmvnv.com/dlschoolsprd.htm.

Your parents should bring you. If they are unable to bring you, you must have a responsible licensed driver age 21 or older bring you. You must bring a notarized Minor Affidavit Sheet and financial responsibility agreement from your parents.

Other drivers who failed said they didn’t pass because:

• They didn’t keep both hands on the steering wheel
• They didn’t come to a complete stop
• They drove too fast in a residential or business district
• They didn’t pick up enough speed after a turn

Keep in mind that the following things will deduct points from your total score. If you get too many, you won’t pass.

• Not checking your mirrors often
• Leaving the turn signal on after turning
• Not leaving enough distance between you and other vehicles
• Using a cellphone

If you fail, the examiner will explain to you why you failed and will tell you how to retake it. Here are common mistakes you want to avoid.

• Not obeying school zone rules
• Driving on both sides of marked lines
• Unsure of how to react to hazardous driving situations

The first thing you will have to do is show the examiner that you have insurance on the vehicle you are going to test in. Next, the examiner will inspect your vehicle. Finally, you will demonstrate your ability to handle the responsibilities of the road by doing things like:

• Going through intersections.
• Driving through different zoned areas
• Controlling your speed
• Stopping at intersections
• Parallel Parking

When driving in Nevada for the first time, remember these 5 things:

• $15,000 for bodily injury or death of one person in an accident
• $30,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more people in any one accident
• $10,000 for injury to or destruction of others property

Be ready to provide information for the insurance company. Different companies will ask for different things based on their company’s policies. Usually, you will need to provide your license number, driver’s education (if any), car type and class, and address.

The good news about Nevada’s car insurance rates is that they are lower than the national average. Car insurance in Nevada will vary based on who you are and what type of car you drive.

Nevada is actually becoming less expensive for car insurance compared to the other states. Here are neat ways to lower your premiums even more:

1. If you have more than one address, compare addresses. Zip Codes help determine how much you will pay.
2. Try to get all of the discounts offered by the company.
3. Compare rates and companies.

A great site to visit for low cost car insurance is http://www.clearanceautoinsurance.com/.
