Driving test explained
The test will include an eyesight check (if you fail this, your test will not continue). The eyesight test requires you to read a number plate that is a certain distance away. After the eyesight test you will be asked two vehicle safety questions. You will then be examined on your general driving and on one reversing exercise. The reversing exercise will be chosen from:
Reversing around a corner - see additional page on sidebar for a video
Turning in the road
Reverse parking ie. parallel parking or into a bay
You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise
Taking your driving test
During the driving test the examiner will give you directions which you should follow. Test routes are designed to be as uniform as possible and will include a range of typical road and traffic conditions. During the test, the examiner will ask you to carry out set exercises. Throughout the test you should drive in the way your instructor has taught you. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it, it might be a less serious driving fault and may not affect your result. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test. You are allowed to take someone with you on the test, this person must be over 16 years old and cannot take any part in the test.
