How do you deal with rain on your driving test day?

I’m scheduled to take my driving test tomorrow, but it’s supposed to rain. I don’t really want to postpone it since it took so long for me to finally get an appointment, but I’m nervous. What should you do if it rains during your driving test?

I’m sorry the forecast looks grim! Driving tests can be nerve-wracking enough on a dry day.
However, if you’ve adequately prepared, you’ll be well-equipped to deal with rain on your driving test day. You might even earn some brownie points with your examiner by demonstrating that you know how to handle rainy weather.
Just be smart about it. Check your tire tread and pressure, make sure your windshield wipers are adequate, and practice a little in the rain beforehand if you can. You should also brush up on wet-weather driving tips in your study materials. It could make all the difference!
Most importantly, stay calm. If you’re feeling particularly nervous—to the point where it’s becoming debilitating—cancel the test. You won’t be able to approach it with a clear head, which is necessary in order to make
safe and smart decisions
. So if you feel you aren’t up to the task, there is no shame in rescheduling.
Staying safe is important on the road and off. If your parents are putting you on their
car insurance policy
, they’ll breathe easier knowing that you can handle tricky conditions like rain. And with
