✅ Approaching Stop Signs & Intersections – Full stops at the line, scanning for traffic, and smooth takeoffs.
✅ Braking & Acceleration – Controlled, steady driving — no harsh stops or jumps.
✅ Proper Use of Signals – Signaling every turn and lane change.
✅ Overall Awareness – Examiners want to see safe habits and confident decisions behind the wheel.
