Practical Test   

 

Once you've booked your test you will be sent an appointment letter. Check the date, time, and location of your allotted test.

On the day of your test you will need to bring with you the appointment letter, both parts of your driving license (photocard & counterpart) as well as your theory certificate. Without production of these to the examiner you will not be allowed to take your test, and your fee will be lost.

Arrive at the test centre in good time, as an examiner will conduct up to seven tests each day, and so if you're late the test will probably be cancelled, and again you'll lose your fee.

At the time of your test, the examiner will call your name, and ask you to sign the insurance and residency declaration, thus giving them time to check your signature and photo id. You will then be asked to lead the way to your car. The examiner will then get you to read a number plate from a distance of 20.5m, and then will ask you two Show Me/Tell Me questions relating to the car.

The examiner will then explain the test to you and once any questions have been asked will ask you to move away when ready. The test will last for approximately 38 minutes, and you will end the test back at the test centre, ready for the de-brief and test result.

At the end of the test, the examiner will total up the faults and then inform you as to whether you have passed or failed. Throughout your drive you are allowed to commit a total of 15 Driver Faults, 16 and you fail. You must also avoid making either a Serious or Dangerous fault as this would also indicate a fail.

It is advisable that your instructor sits in the car for the de-brief, as they will have a clearer head and probably more understanding of the faults explained.

If you've passed you will be issued with a pass certificate, along with a few other leaflets and booklets relating to driving. You will then need to exchange your Provisional license for a Full license.

If you've failed the examiner will explain the faults in detail and give you some pointers toward passing next time.

Whether you've passed or failed your instructor will drive you home, giving you the chance to phone friends and family as well as discuss what comes next.
