The 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. Panicking will only result in more mistakes. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving. There is no set marking criterea and whether you pass or fail will be based on your overall standard of driving.
