Have a look at all the traffic signals before appearing in front of RTO officer.The learners license lost for six months. You can drive your vehicle still by applying 'L' board on your vehicle until you get a permanent driving license.  For this you will have to provide your address proof, passport size photos and filling application form 4 etc. Complete these initial formalities.
2.  Try to get a lot from the driving instructor. Ask as many questions that you may have regarding driving and get the most of driving. Because, some instructors teach you driving in detail, however some instructors tend to ignore teaching all the aspects of driving. So ask questions.

7. Learn driving the vehicle reverse. It is most likely that the officer will ask you to do this. Proper driving in reverse is required while parking your vehicle or at any time. So practice driving the vehicle reverse. Its easy to drive the vehicle straight, we can see what's there ahead, but its little tricky driving your vehicle reverse. This comes from practicing.
8. Usually driving license issues is valid for driving in the state where you issued the driving license. However the license can be transferred to drive in other states, for this you require "All India Driving Permit"
