 The Practical Driving Test |
|
||||||
| You cannot apply for your practical driving test until you have passed your theory test. You will be asked to give your theory test certificate number when booking your practical test. | ||||||
|
||||||
| The driving test lasts approximately 40 minutes. The route usually involves a variety of town and country driving, it also includes dual carriageway roads so that you can demonstrate your skills of driving above 30 m.p.h. You will also be asked to demonstrate two of the four slow manoeuvres. |

| At the beginning of the test, when you meet the examiner, you will be expected to show him or her your signed provisional driving licence and your theory pass certificate. If you don't have a photocard licence you MUST bring a valid passport. | |
|
|
 |
You will also be asked to
read a vehicle number plate from a distance |
|
|
| At the end of the
test the examiner will tell you if you have passed or failed. You would fail if
you made more than 15 minor driving faults, or any major faults. If you passed the test, the examiner will give you a pass certificate which you will need to send to the DVLA along with your provisional licence. If you failed the test, he or she will give you written feedback on the mistakes you made and you will have to wait ten clear working days before you can retake it. |
