You will be taken on a range of typical roads and traffic conditions, he/she will ask you to follow the road ahead unless road markings or traffic signs tell you otherwise and he/she will tell you in good time when to turn left or right.
(if you are unsure or did not hear them then ask, they will repeat their direction)
The manouvre is chosen from either:
: pulling over on the right
: Reverse parking parallel park
: Bay park forward left or right of your choice or reverse left or right of your choice, examiner decides forward or reverse
They are looking for a overall safe standard of driving.
You can make upto 15 minor faults and still pass your test, 16 or more faults will result in failure. If you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail your test. If at any time the examiner feels that you are a danger to other road users then they can stop the test.
AT THE END OF THE TEST
The examiner will ask you to switch off the engine and will refer to the test sheet for the test result. In the event of your instructor sitting in on test then he/she will ask if you want them presant on your result. If you have passed then he/she will request if you want him to apply for your full licence?, which should be in the post in about 20 days, in the meantime you are allowed to drive using the pass details the examiner gives you. If you are unsuccessfull then the examiner will give you a brief explaining what the faults were on your test and why you failed which we find very usefull so we always recommend you listen.
A VIEW TO TEST HELP
Driving lessons are all about routines and remembering patterns of behaviour. Procedures that have to be followed again and again, after a while these patterns become a habit without you ever realising. But if the patterns are not right then they become BAD HABITS!
ARE YOU READY VIDEO?
When your ready be self critical about your driving, ask yourself "can i drive without the help of my instructor"? Thats what your trying to achieve.
