Can you talk to yourself during a driving test?

I’m super nervous about my upcoming driving test. I like to talk to myself to stay calm, but is that a no-no? Can you talk to yourself during a driving test?

Great job on learning how to drive and scheduling your road test! Now you’re only one step away from getting your driver’s license.
The good news is you can talk to yourself during a driving test—especially if it helps you stay calm.
It’s a good idea to practice whatever technique you have for keeping focused while driving. It could even impress the driving instructor if you name the hazards and distractions you see or talk yourself through complicated maneuvers like parallel parking.
After you pass your test, you can even talk yourself through finding great

What Others Are Asking

Will a turbo kit on a Honda Fit really give me more horsepower?
I’m on a budget. That said, I came across a 2014 Honda Fit (dirt cheap) and now I’m thinking about how much fun it would be to trick it out with a turbo kit. Will a turbo kit on a Honda Fit really give me more horsepower?

Does the Hummer H2 get good gas mileage?
My husband loves the Hummer H2, but I don’t really like them that much. The car itself seems really clunky and I’m not a fan of the design. I’ve been wondering about the gas mileage, too, since the cars are shaped differently. Does the H2 get good gas mileage?

What credit score do you need for a car loan?
I want to purchase a new car, but I need a car loan. I’m worried that my 640 credit score isn’t good enough to be approved for financing. What does your credit score have to be to qualify for a loan?
