How do you do an emergency stop in a driving test?

What does it mean if I have to do an emergency stop during a driving test? I want to make sure that I do it right so I don’t have to retake the test.

That’s totally understandable! But don’t worry too much. Your instructor will provide plenty of warning before expecting you to stop.
When asked to perform an
emergency stop
 in a driving test, calmly bring your vehicle to a complete stop as quickly as you can while maintaining control.
The emergency stop is meant to prepare you for potential hazards in your path in the future—like an animal, a fallen tree, a pedestrian, or an accident. Your instructor will be watching to make sure that you react quickly without panicking and stop the car efficiently.
There’s a lot to learn when you start driving, including how to shop for car insurance. Luckily, it’s easy to find the best rates on the coverage you need with the
Jerry
 app. Download the app and answer some quick questions to shop quotes from over 50 name-brand providers like Nationwide for free.
