Practical driving test.
When suitably trained, you can apply for your practical driving test. At the start of the test the examiner will check your details
then conduct an eyesight check (Read a new style number plate at 20mtrs or old at 20.5mtrs). They will then ask you one
vehicle safety check questions, Show/Tell me question Then a second whilst on the move. (both must be answered correctly
or you will incur one driving fault).
You will then be asked to drive the car along a test route for approximately 40 minutes of which
20 minutes will be under independent driving conditions. You will also be asked to perform one manoeuvre and may be asked to perform
an emergency stop.
During the whole test you can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test however, if just 1 serious or
dangerous fault is recorded you will have failed the test. The examiner does not work to quotas; if you are competent enough you will
pass.
