When you’ve already practiced and still haven’t passed, it’s easy to feel stuck. The next step is understanding where your mistakes happen and what to work on.

Meet your guide
Colin Thorne.
You can call him Mr. C.
Drawing on more than 40 years of teaching New Yorkers, including his work at Fuzion Driving School in Brooklyn, Mr. C created Road Test Ready to help learners understand the mistakes that can stand between preparation and passing.
His approach: explain the steps clearly, understand the reasons behind them, and practice with purpose.
40+ yearsof driving instruction experience
Road Test Ready offers digital study guides and a live group masterclass over Zoom. We do not offer in-car lessons.

Before you begin
A few helpful answers.
Who is this for?
New York State road-test candidates who have failed and want a clearer preparation plan. Anxious first-time candidates can also explore the free video.
Is the video free?
Yes. Follow the Watch the Free Video button to our registration page and enter your first name and email for access. Paid guides and a live group masterclass are separate, optional offers.
Do you offer driving lessons?
No. We offer PDF guides and a live online group masterclass. These resources supplement safe practice and appropriate behind-the-wheel instruction.
Does this guarantee I will pass?
No. Your result depends on your skills, preparation, judgment, test conditions, and the examiner’s evaluation. Our resources help you understand and prepare; they cannot guarantee a passing result.
